We went into the Saints game with six defenders and Newnes. Newnes wasn't effective in defence and his absence from the wing rotations affected O'Brien and Cottrell's games (Cerra was next to useless).
Weitering should come in at the expense of a surplus midfielder/forward to provide a more balanced line up.
Plowman was one of our better defenders with 10 intercept possessions and 89% disposal efficiency. His hacked kick to Membrey in the first quarter was his only real blemish. He and his five fellow defenders all deserve to retain their places in the team.
