I'm sorry if this has already been brought up, but I missed the game vs Melbourne so I'm watching a replay now. For those people who believe that criticism of Cam Wight is not warranted, please watch the first 10 minutes of the game.
In the ten minutes of the game which I have watched, in the 4 contests that Wight has been involved in, he has returned 4 clangers (handball which resulted in the goal to Davey, running back and taking Gilbee out of a contest which let Johnson (melb) have a shot at goal, free kick for high contest to Johnson (melb) on the fifty and a dropped mark where the ball was turned over).
No only do turnovers cost goal but momentum cops a pounding. I think that Wight needs to prove his worth in the VFL before he is selected just because we are short of defenders
I am all for supporting young players, but when it come to a stage where we cringe when a player gets the ball, enough is enough.
Does anyone know whether additional work has been put in to helping Wight in pressure situations in the pre-season to combat the errors?
If not, why not?
