I don't think his confidence will come from rucking. He is an out and out key forward and needs to play AFL.
Developing as a key forward in the VFL is very difficult due to ground sizes, game style and the level of skill down there.
I haven’t really seen enough of T Smith this year to compare but I can see where you are coming from.
Weed definitely has to keep improving to stay in but I think he has more upside than T Smith from what I saw from him last year.
Thanks for the info.
He did show a bit before he got injured last year but I did think he didn’t look fit enough.
If he has improved his fitness and is moving into the midfield, I think he could be very valuable also..
In saying that I still think he is behind, Hogan, T Mac, Trac, Hannan and Fritsch
The Weed has to stay in.
If he gets his confidence up and starts to feel more comfortable he will be a massive asset.
The 2 contested marks he took in the last qtr against Essendon is just a glimpse of what he might be capable of.
Got a knock to the knee. It happened against the Tigers and got fit again.
If he recovered in 5 days, then he’ll be right By next Sunday.
He loves kicking bags against the Saints.
So we lose by 48 pts last week and get ridiculed all week. The Pies lose by 42 pts today and they get a pat on the back.
Both teams are on 3 wins and got blown out of the water in the last qtr.
Garbage!!!
