Time for a different option at CHF... Jones, Jaksch, Kerr, JGM, McKay, I don't care who, just give the side some bloody structure that gives us some hope.
I agree to a level as I think Weitering will always be a swing type player, but just as Geelong's Harry Taylor has his moments as a forward, it is clear he is the best intercept mark and defender.
Further Weitering has the potential to be a first class user of the ball delivering it into F50, which we lose when he's playing in F50.
As yet we haven't seen Weitering have a crack at goal from outside F50, which he is more than capable of doing but seems to lack the confidence at AFL level. As a 17 year old junior he was Fevola like from outside F50.
Having seen SPS, my ideal situation would be to have Weitering in the defensive zone hitting up SPS with a long low pass to deliver it into F50.
(PS: Is the Harry Taylor situation at Geelong forced because they made the decision to take Henderson?)
