Oscar Allen has hardly touched the ball all year, is leaving as a free agent, doesnt care anymore  and was also injured in the game and should have been dropped weeks ago but WC being the abysmal team they are have nothing else and are forced to play him. Weitering has been doing ok for a player who looks sore and injured at times especially when he kicks the ball. Got a bad corky or two a while back and I wonder if he really should have been rested.

As I said, for a bloke allegedly carrying an injury, Weitering had an outstanding game.  His ability to get to marking contests and spoil is amazing when you think that he is basically hopping to contests.  Of course, his ten intercepts weren't that impressive because the ball just happened to land where he was standing ... ten times.  His eight contested possessions probably shouldn't count because his opponents didn't really try.

Oscar Allen kicked four goals against the much vaunted and full strength Geelong defence a couple of weeks ago. He looked pretty competitive for a bloke who doesn't care  ::)  
Allen is going to very well off if he goes to Brisbane, 6 year deal on close to a mill a year and it was reported on Footy Classified that WC will probably get the No 2 pick in the draft as compo from the special sauce formula with the AFL being over generous to help the struggling Eagles out. Reckon the Eagles wont play him again this season and look after their investment.

Shows how much we've missed Cincotta, just seems to be one of the types who finds himself in the right place at the right moment.
Blokes like Cinc and Lord just go out and do exactly what is asked of them for the good of the team. A coach cannot ask for more than that.

Coachable. Not drinking their own bathwater..
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

I think that it’s more about reading the play and knowing where the right places are.

The thing about Cincotta is that he can play multiple roles.  In some ways, he’s a bit like Chugga but a better finisher and with the foot speed to defend more effectively.

It's still the Gulf of Mexico, Don Old!

He is also one of the most reliable kicks to advantage
