People writing off Weitering need to relax.
He's 20YO, has played 20 games. He's allowed to have an off night.
Richmond forward line is all small's with pace, it didnt suit him. He's still learning and will get better.
Cant wait to next week when he's best on and all the haters will be saying he's the CHB of his generation.
I don't get why the criticism from last night is on Weitering and not Jones.
So many time Jones gambled, got caught out of position, and left his fellow defenders in a bad situation. Often that's where Weitering looks slow or out of position, but I thought he generally played a solid defensive game with 1-2 errors. Jones, by contrast, had basically identical stats to Weitering, and probably cost us 3-4 goals. Yet Weitering is aparently a bust, yet the 27 yo Jones gets a free pass?
Sure, a solid defensive game isn't what we want from a #1 pick, and Weitering over Clayton Oliver looks pretty bad atm, but that said it was a game that didn't suit him, with the team playing a new style that got picked apart at times, and he's only 20 years old, so the cards were stacked against him a bit.
