After almost 40 years, Carlton centre half-back Jarrad Waite is set to emulate his late father’s feat by donning the Big V for Saturday night’s match against the Dream Team on the MCG.
On that very ground in June 1971, Vin Waite represented Victoria in his one and only state appearance. It came against South Australia, where the then 22 year-old lined up in his customary back pocket alongside Geelong’s John Scarlett, the father of Matthew, who will also take his place in the Victorian team this weekend.
Also representing Victoria against the Croweaters that day was Marc Murphy’s father John, Carlton triple premiership player Robert Walls, and future Carlton players Peter McKenna and Kevin Heath. Ian Stewart and Denis Pagan, both destined to coach Carlton, were also members of that coveted Big V squad.
