Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 12 2025 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs West Coast
Last post by kruddler -I reckon Weitering is either carrying an injury or has seriously devolved.
His 2 games, either side of the bye, were as poor as I can recall and this week wasn't much better.
He is completely lacking any serious acceleration.
He seems far less mobile and unable to elevate himself off the ground to get the same dynamic defensive punches and/or overhead marks that were his greatest weapons.
His kicking has deteriorated so much that he rarely finds a teammate unless that teammate is standing alone in a paddock.
Part of the problem with his kicking is that he is commonly standing flat-footed and lacks the mobility to kick through the ball - hence he regularly puts too much air under the ball and/or simply kicks it aimlessly as far as he can, which is not all that far these days.
Weiters was jumping and his quad connected with a Giants player (possibly his face?? I cant recall exactly). Was limping around for a bit at the time. Never looked right since then.
Reckon it's a bad corky which would hamper him as you described above.
Honestly, all our A-graders have been sub par. It's our b and c graders that are standing up and covering....including some kids like carroll coming from nowhere.
Remembering we felisted him last year without having played a game in his years in the list.
He's played 8 so far this year.
