Waite shouldn't be overlooked.
His hard hits and suspension is just a remnant of the past and that's what he needed to do to suggest he know's the game and the hard game. I'm sure we've sen the last of his heavy hits after the ball has been released by his opponents. But I tell you what...I really enjoyed his heavy hits on the opposition...should be counted as 2 possessions....made his opponent hurry the disposal because they shat themself when the panther Waite was closing in on them, and 2, because he took them out of the game for while whilst they recovered.
I know the game has changed for the better by taking out the snipers in our game.
Players that have brain fades can't be included in the list of those that can "play". Sadly Waite fits in that category. On the cusp though.
You're a bit tough there Taff, but that's your opinion.
I bet most football followers regardless of which team they barrack for would consider Waite as a bloke who knows the game and can play...in fact to such an extent he can turn a game with his own boot. He has good pedigree stamped all over him; father son selection.
Brain fades for Waite have happened in less than 0.000001% of game time, and imo it's really irrelevant.
Oh yeah, he was selected as the Victorian CHB in 2009. I'm pretty sure every Carlton supporter sorely missed him when he was suspended. There's a reason for thet...something to do with the fact he can play the game.
