The effect Carlton has on talent was not known at that time.

...yeh but enough for certain nameless individuals to declare that if Mr September comes 'I'm done'....?

 

[ozzyoslo]

One of your best tonight.

Just helped you into a Prelim.

His tackling is sensational.....was it like that at CFC?

I think the biggest indicator of his form this year is his tackles column.

Shows his mindset atm, he was probably just too comfortable in the lst few years at Carlton, he's busted a nut every game this year though.

It wasn't like that in the first half of this season either. He was given an ultimatum by Scott half way through the year. My sister was in the rooms earlier this year (can't remember exactly which game) and said all the players shook Waite's hand as he walked in at half time (introducing themselves as they had never seen him play with that defensive pressure)

 

[RooBoyz24]

I think he has made a few of us eat nice cold Humble Pie.Keep it up for 2 more weeks and he will be a North Legend for a long time.

Kicks 5 against West Coast this week he will be a legend of our footy club

 

[tazaa]

He has great hands. I remember Drew made a comment back in March that in warmer dry conditions he really sticks the ball. Made for September.

 

[Jeremy Jordan]

Nothing better in this world than a ‘if XXXX happens, im done’ call. Would of made 12 of those just this year about North.

Waite is an absolute gun, and unpredictable as sh*t. There is every chance he would take a hanger, slip over walking back to take the kick, kick the goal from the boundary, fly kick the man on the mark, get best on, then burn the change room to the ground.

 

[Malifice]

Yup. Sometimes a bit... too zealous even.



Massive leap, great grab, reliable kick, hard at it, backs himself.

Always been a good player, aside from getting himself rubbed out via suspensions and missing games via heaps of injuries, resulting in him yo-yoing in and out of the team a bit. This had a knock on affect on his form. Went from a KP rebounding defender to our number 1 key forward after Fev left, and that didnt help either.

I think I said in this thread at the start of the year, hes a good enough player to be the difference, and Scott was a genius picking him up (he cost nothing) as a third tall. I stick by those comments.

Ahaha... this is spot one.... sometimes he does things and i just go.... wow then he will do the stupidest s**t ever,,,,

Playing 3rd tall is great for him... he is still a very good size for a KPF his and Drews numbers are almost identical this year.... Also allows Brown to develop

You would have seen more of him at Carlton than any of us. Is this a career best year for him or has he played just as well/better at Carlton?

Me thinks this line can be abbreviated to "loose cannon"

Pretty close to it, but mainly due to the number of games played this year. Most of his years with us he was in and out of the side with repeat injuries and suspensions. Played around 12 games a year most years.

He's always been a great player. Sadly he just cant gt on the park.

2008 he was played as a rebounding defender from memory. That was his best. Played most (maybe all) games that year, and was a bit harsh to miss AA selection.

The Age reports since 2011, only Lance Franklin has had greater "scoreboard impact" in finals than the North key forward.

Consistency was Waite's missing link as a Blue, as his athleticism and abundant ability were regularly diluted by injury and suspension.

He admitted on Fairfax Radio this year that the vastness of the gap between his best and worst wasn't so much down to ability as "the little man upstairs".

Watson says much of what he is doing in terms of scoreboard benefit is down to simple, old-fashioned hard work, married to a change of fortune and attitude in fitness and on-field approach.

"One, he's been able to keep his body together. And two, I haven't noticed any real undisciplined things that he may have done in the past," Watson said.

For somebody so talented, he's had a s**t career.

He was playing at Carlton.

 

[Benno_900]

He was playing at Carlton.

Fevola won Colemans at Carlton.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Fevola won Colemans at Carlton.

Fevola was, and remains, a once in a generation talent.

 

[Benno_900]

Fevola was, and remains, a once in a generation talent.

Agreed - I must admit he was fun to watch.

Big loss to the game.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Calling it now we're going to get at least two more seasons and will finish with 120 goals for us.
