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?
Might work depending on opponents, I wouldnt want Brad Hill for example playing on JW and running off him..our man is athletic for a tall but he wont be winning any foot races vs genuine wingman.
IMO Weitering is a CHB and its time we played him there. Cant wait for Mckay and Kerr to be introduced so we can setup the spine properly and have a decent structure to build around instead of trying to cheat with players in their non specialist positions....I know JW played games forward in his youth but he looks a CHB to me and not a CHF.
Weitering and Marchbank down back will give you the best intercept marking duo in the comp..
