According to the write ups he was lucky not to get reported in the 2s the previous week. Good player but physically brittle and shit for brains.

Stupid for Waite to do that but seriously was that incident worth 2 matches... OMG, 2 matches for that, how soft has this game become.

Tom McDonald pushes Waite away when Waite was learning forward and Tom didn't even touch or rub his head afterwards. Must have been the faintest of contacts ever.

I have seen the replay several times and can't see any contact between Waite's head and McDonald's. It looks like his intent was to get in his face, not to headbutt him. The act was deemed intentional, high contact and of low impact. I would say no impact, they should definitely appeal.

I agree, and fwiw, thought Waitey played a great game.
Admittedly, I won a bet that he'd get reported, or injured in the 1st q.
but I'm a fan, and love having him in the team.
I hope they appeal. If we lose..it's two more weeks where he won't get injured or reported..so win win really. :thumbsup:

all you supporters calling him an idiot etc.... TURN IT UP

1st game back, in the heat of the moment, he is just that type of player we need with aggression, DID HE HIT SOMEONE FROM BEHIND NO,

DID HE RIP A PLAYERS EYE OUT - NO..

COP THE 1 WEEK AND HE WILL BE BACK,

NO BIG DEAL

DID HE LET THE TEAM DOWN -YES

WHAT ABOUT PLAYERS WHO DONT DO THE TEAM THING DO THEY LET THE TEAM DOWN - YES, DO THEY COP A WEEK -NO

NO POINT BAGGING HIM, HE WILL BE BACK

ROWE OR CASBOULT WILL FILL IN

Just for that...!!!... and people like you thinking its ok for Waite to be a flower and play with no accountability and discipline.. Id seriously talk to Murph and the REAL leadership group to make sure not only does he get 2 weeks and have his wages docked and given to charity .. but THREE weeks!!!...

I really dont get the Waite stupidity love in.

Were either building towards a flag here.. or were gunna be a cork bobbing around the ocean whatever happens week to week .. no control.

Its not about how forceful it was... its about WHY DO IT????????

Your a genius bluegirl and I am not being sarcastic.

He might get off due to the lack of contact (although the intent is obvious unfortunately)

If he gets 2 weeks. Who cares! We only need the goose this week.

It honestly makes sense.

Anyhow. We are so used to playing without him that we wont notice.

Some so called supporters are embarrasing. Waite was a little silly but fair dinkum absolutely nothing in that. Biggest joke is the report and now some of our supporters.

C'mon Surrey, he head butted him!
That is a stupid thing to do!

Caroline Wilson, served up Waite's stupidity, in her Caro's Arrow segment just now on "Footy Classified" and for once I agree with her. :wink:

Had a good look at incident and I must admit there wasn't much in it but in saying that he should know by now he's going to be nailed for silly actions like that. His past record is always going to make him a target.
