Interesting about what was said about Weitering on Hogan. The ball was belting down there.In Billy's case this is pretty bad as he has missed games and also played up forward.
One other thing to be said is that I have noticed for eg that blokes like Larkey have had days when they have taken marks against opposition but have had bad kicking days which means that some defenders can concede a lot of marks without them going down as goals.
I notice that Cornes had another whack at Moore last night but was a bit surprised he gave Weitering an out for standing next to Hogan who was taking pack marks. He reckoned he was sore because of a bit of a corky but he seemed to be moving freely. And he justified this to say how important Weitering is. This was the first time that their middies allowed the ball to come in like as avalanche as it often does in our opposition attack. Does he really believe that a fully fit Weitering was going to stop all those balls going in from being scores?
And another thing, Moore was on the ABC last night on some woke program and he says that he will be shouting Petracca dinner when the Dee gets well again. He had to try to break the darts score of all the other sportsman they had had on the program and he basically doubled their scores.![]()
Weitering is everyone's darling this year as the Blues aren't generally getting big scores kicked on them and he's having a great year (I reckon he's a gun).
In last year's Prelim Final against Brissy the Blues got off to a huge start you'll recall. However, when Brissy came back they did so with an avalanche of goals through domination in the middle. At one stage in that avalanche Weitering had 5 goals in a row kicked on him - I repeat 5 in a row.
It just goes to show you how important pressure and defence up the ground is for backman - especially the key backs who have the gun goal kickers to mind.
