I don't think Weits has been the same since he hurt his shoulder last year in round 6 against essendon. I remember at the time he was interviewed and said he had never been injured before, which I can understand being a big kid in junior footy. I think the pain shocked him a bit and he has lost his confidence. Doesn't seem to be attacking the ball with abandon like he did when he first arrived especially with his marking. Hasn't helped that he has got a few more knocks since. Just need to give him time I reckon to get his confidence back and the club I'm sure will be supporting him with that. One good game where he clunks a few marks and dominates an opponent is all it will take to get him back on track IMO.
Love the kid so hope he gets the help he needs to turn it around.
