We need him. One injury to daw, brown or wood and we are screwed. We can play all 4 and should. We would have one of the most dynamic forward lines in the league
Injuries? Jarrad has been injured whole last half of the year. Keeping Jarrad is not a Reset. But a stuff around.

Be realistic KC. McKay couldn't run out a quarter in the 2s, he's a mile off being able to play AFL. And Durdin has had one season of footy in VFL. He's not up for it either. In that case, we should keep Waite.
Possibly true.

Question - have you ever had a difference of opinion with a club decision?

Couldn't keep Waite and Drew.

Waite gets the nod due to higher upside.

History shows he'll be lucky to play 12 games.

Make them good ones Waitey.

If his hip comes good, and he has a solid pre-season, we have a pretty dangerous prospect for opposition's to worry about, should be mentoring Browny how to consistently clunk his marks.
I'd be getting him to mentor Brown on how to kick players in the head legally. A bit too much of the Drew Petrie nice guys about him sometimes.

North Melbourne can today confirm Jarrad Waite will undergo shoulder surgery and is expected to be sidelined for about a month.

North GM Football Cameron Joyce told NMFC.com.auWaite injured his acromioclavicular (A/C) joint in yesterday’s loss to West Coast at Etihad Stadium.

“Unfortunately Jarrad had scans this morning and they have shown that he will require surgery on his left shoulder this week,” Joyce said.

“We anticipate that he will be out for about four to six weeks. We’re hopeful to have him available for selection sooner rather than later.”

Joyce said Waite’s absence from the Roos’ forward line provided yet another opportunity for a younger player to step up.

“While we are obviously disappointed to see Jarrad sidelined, we had a number of really strong performances from our forwards in Werribee’s VFL practice match on Saturday afternoon,” Joyce added.

“There are plenty of players ready to come in and make that position their own.”
