At the moment he is the one I'm least concerned about.
He has the skills but also the football smarts.
Weitering is obviously a clear standout of the group in terms of class.
My concerns with him are that in the early years he is not called upon to do too much.
He's picked up a few injuries in his short career. He was hurting again with a calf injury yesterday but was sent out again.
In the end it no doubt helped us get as close as we did but it wouldn't surprise to see him miss a couple of games now.
He is getting knocked about because he is treated like a senior player.
He has been told to expect different treatment to the other draftees because he is elite.
He loves the responsibility he has been given and he loves the the coach.
