Also Marchbank was back out there, as much as fans might be dismissive his presence matters.
If so that is a problem, because Young has the physical capabilities exceeding Durdin, but as a replacement for Weiters whoever goes in must stand up in a leadership role.
How do you take someone who is not quite up to fulltime AFL standards, but has the leadership quality you need, and keep them happy playing VFL?
