Keep this paragraph in mind when considering where to play Weitering.
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!
Do we need Weitering, Marchbank, Plowman and Macredie in the back 6?
Rowe and White are there now as well and on form Rowe isn't going anywhere, move Weitering there and it's the land of the giants and a gift to every half decent small forward in the competition.
I take your point though and I think we should roll the dice with Curnow, Silvagni and McKay forward and hope that Pickett and the like develop as crumbers.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.
