I was listening to SEN tonight and he does a segment where by he goes into a club and sits on match committee meetings. When it came to Carlton, he talked about Rowe going down. He suggested to try something left field by putting Weitering on a wing and Jones down back. His theory is that:
- JW is a great reader of the play
- JW is a big body and is fairly athletic
- JW intercepts the footy extremely well
Wallet reckons he would become an asset btw HB and HF along the wings and would compliment our other big bodies in Cripps, Curnow etc.
I dont know if this is crazy or genius, its certainly left field alright and it may just make things very intersting. Thoughts?
Perhaps I shouldn't admit this but I actually find myself very interested in TWs insights. He was one of the few commentators last year after we'd won four on the trot to predict that the Aints would take us apart. And the reasons he gave were spot on.
Weits to a wing? My only knock on that would be that he aint the fastest bloke over the grass... however, I wonder if TW was isolating the fact that we have very poor penetration and delivery into our F50 and Weits might be an excellent link to setting up and delivering meaningful forward thrusts, and would be difficult to stop.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
