I'm not talking about the broader conversation i was specifically talking about Weller vs Long. Long hasn't yet shown anything at any level to show that he's going to be part of our future. He's also only 20 so i'm more than happy to wait on him but at this stage he doesn't deserve to be playing seniors because he's hardly been effective at VFL level.
Yeah Longs potential looks like it could build through actual match time but Weller should be given first chance at a regular season spot because he has been a reliable option. He's probably only a few bad games off losing that spot if the team starts to falter and his form stays below what he's capable of though. If we start to look like finals aren't an option I imagine it's guys like Weller and Gilbert who will be pushed out.
