Seems a bit biased, what is OK for one is not OK for the other!
I understand your point but not all kids coming into the system can do what others can. Don't have to look far, McKay and Weitering both KP players were taken in the same draft!
We have a very young forward structure, and while I might be splitting hairs a little, Weitering is more capable and ready then Charlie to take a key forward post IMO at this early stage. His young body is more developed has played double what Charlie has and has had an extra pre season. Early in a players career that's massive difference.
He might still get banged up at times so he will need to be carefully managed but my point was with him there Charlie and even SOJ drop down the order of what defenders go to them, which helps them and in turn the team considerably.
