I just want to reflect on the consummate skill with which Weitering took Hurley out of a marking contest in the first quarter. Weitering gave Hurley a light bump with his shoulder that was just enough to put Hurley on the back foot an unable to move forward quickly. Weitering then pushed and met the ball for a relatively easy mark. Unfortunately, Weitering had a touch of the Casboults and missed what should have been an easy goal.
The ease with which 18 year old Weitering disposed of a highly rated, very experienced key defender brought tears of joy to my eyes
