Are you saying Bolts is in the same position as Buckley ? Finals next year or he's gone ?
Top 8 next year would ne nice but I'm thinking the year after... but like I said... who knows ?
Acos is 30 next month and Rowe is 30 in November... The point I'm trying to get across is Weitering will be / or should be our star backman for the next 10 years .... he should be there now and we should be building it around him... He'd be walking taller with Acos next him instead of getting smashed in the forward line.
Maybe... but I'd far prefer he was our star FF for the next 10 years.
Macreadie and Marchbank look like our key backs for the next 10 years - we've got a really exciting mix of youngsters to go with the couple of older guys.
Jones, JGM, Jack Silvagni could end up a backman, Jaksch plays back... there are possibilities beyond Weitering. He is showing little spells here and there where he looks like a gun forward in the making. In our forward line it isn't easy (carp delivery) and he is young and keeps copping corkies and it's a lot harder to make it as a key forward. Why give up on it now to insert him into the current high functioning backline? If his form drops give him a week off or some time in the 2s.
