2017 Rd 2: Post Game Postulations: Carlton vs Melbourne

[LP]

We can probably expect two or three goals from Silvagni and Weitering most weeks and if that was the case yesterday we probably win.
We won't win many and it's unlikely that we can knock off a good side, but we'll win a few.

When Weitering arrived at Carlton I made the analogy to Harry Taylor, possibly even better than Taylor.

Keep this paragraph in mind when considering where to play Weitering.

Harry Taylor back where he made it happen. The coach will probably say it’s horses for courses, yet Taylor’s return to the defence after yet another so-so performance as a key forward gives Chris Scott something to ponder. Taylor looks lost as a key forward, as he was against the Kangas and was moved to defence during the third quarter. Then in succession he marked over Majak Daw, spoiled Daw and then marked in front of Daw. The query will be Taylor’s pace, but gee he looks as ease as a defender.

We are going to fork up a A Grade attacking defender, a defender described in his draft year as possibly the best intercept mark ever to come out of the draft, and we are doing it just because "our club" hasn't an effective KPF!

Wake up to yourself Carlton, don't be a goose, Weitering forward is a very short term decision! In the media you stated you'd let Weitering settle and mature as a defender, in practice it didn't even make it to the first bounce!
