Past #30: Jarrad Waite - will retire at end 2018 - 60 NM games/120+ NM goals - Shinboner - thanks W80

[Gasometer]

Warrior on FS says we met with Waite when he was in the Reserves a few weeks back about coming to North.

Nekminit kills us on that Friday night...

 

[Juryduty]

Yeah what we need another 31 year old forward

 

[theduckfan]

Ummm not sure about that, do we need another north of 30's KPF?

 

[Engimal]

A 31 key forward. Yeeeah, nah.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Don't mind picking him up for free.

 

[Engimal]

Don't mind picking him up for free.

I sure do. We're probably not going to win a premiership next year so what's the point? Just stalling the development of Wood, Black, etc.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

It's happening.

Yuck.

 

[Gasometer]

Wonder Woman neither confirmed nor denied...time for the lasoo to get to the bottom of this...

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Let's hope the Dogs or Melbourne put in a better bid ala Betts last season... Otherwise .....

 

[trooroo4life]

Minimum wage if it eventuates or its a completely wrong move. Looking at him as a key back maybe?.

Cant see the reasoning behind it, wouldnt want to be going into next year with him and Drew in the same 50. Id definitely look more long term. Wait and see i guess.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

If this comes to fruition, I'm done.

 

[GarnerSmash]

Guess it shows exactly what the club think of Taz, Brown and Daw. Just not fit and just not ready.

When exactly will we win one?

Waite and see!

 

[winalotroos]

I can,t believe we would even think of a hack like Waite...and won't play Wood...OMG his over 30 years old.

 

[KangaRooster]

Looks like last week's heroics could've been an audition

 

[LB2Snake]

When exactly will we win one?

Waite's good is good but you don't get that consistently and he is injury prone. I'd rather one of Wood, Daw or Brown make that forward position their own.

If we pick up Waite it doesn't stop any of the players you mentioned demanding a spot in the side.

 

[GarnerSmash]

Yeah, very true.

Its not ideal and it does not necessarily reflect well on the forwards we have coming through, but a fit Waite is currently a better option than both Daw and Brown and a Tarrant who can't get on the park.

 

[hcd199]

Not the worst idea in the world to bring in another tall forward option, especially if cheap, but an inconsistent player the wrong side of 30 is not the right option: chances are he'd bring as much to the club as Ben McKinley did. A stop-gap option at best; not a fan of the idea, surely there are other talls we could target if we feel we're not going to get enough from our own talls in the coming years...?

 

[Dan]

Most here would agree that someone like Wood deserves a spot in the seniors right now. Just adding more seasoned forwards to our list just puts him further back in the line. That doesn't sit well it me.

 

[marklovesbeer]

It's happening.

Yuck.

Waite & Nahas.
Two of my favourites.
All we need is Bernie Vince & then get Milne to come out of retirement.
