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

[Passmore]

Apparently the negotiations to join STKOB went the same as they did when he joined NMFC. Mrs W80 did all the talking and Jarrad barely got a word in.

 

[Horace]

I'm missing Waitey already. And we haven't even played a game yet.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Thanks for the memories Jazza!

 

[mouncey2franklin]

What's he doing these days? Any chance he could pull a Mumford?

Sans the powder. On camera, anyway.

 

[Roo182]

Jeez a big firey JW would come in handy right now.

Two former North forwards squared off in the VAFA Div 1 2019 Grand Final last month.

T. Harper with a lazy 6 in the Grand Final is Kieran's brother.

The surprise pick for Schofield’s toughest opponent

Will Schofield has taken to social media for a heartfelt goodbye, hinting at more footy on the horizon and declaring himself a free agent for media opportunities.

thewest.com.au

Retired West Coast veteran Will Schofield has taken to social media to thank his family, friends and teammates, and revealed his surprise pick for his toughest AFL opponent.

After hinting there’s more footy on his horizon after being left out of the Eagles’ elimination finals loss, Schofield nominated Carlton’s Jarrod Waite as the toughest player he’s come across in his 194 career games.

Waite is a surprising pick by Schofield considering the duo only met five times during the forward’s career at Carlton and North Melbourne, kicking four goals across those match-ups.

Mates were discussing who the best contested mark at North was other than Duck this morning and had me reminiscing about Waitey.

* I miss the campaigner
When he was on he was on and he made each supporter stand taller with his presence. Those four years were amazing and I wish they could have continued
Love the campaigner

 

[Snake_Baker]

Kekovich & Briedis were pretty good....................and there was another bloke.....................

 

[Hojuman]

Corey, Doc, Horse all take a good grab under pressure.

Likewise tazaa. He was a dead set gun. Could take a grab. Kick a goal. So mobile for his size. He quickly became one of my favourite players to watch at the NMFC. :stern look

We do too. Unstoppable when he was switched on.

Like Jag owners we just wish we had two of him because one would always be in the workshop getting fixed.

That second quarter in the 78 grand final , Baker was unstoppable he took this mark and a couple of others from memory, 1/2 time saved the Hawks

So did injuries to Blight & Alves. Smith and Boyce not ample replacements back in those days.

Garner is your modern eqivelent of this.

Dipping his toes into coaching even if it's at a much lower level, good on him.

 

[tazaa]

I havnt really enjoyed watching a player pull on the jumper since Waitey was running around in North colours.
Rock n roll footballer. Miss him dearly.

Makes me sad that someone like Tarrant is leaving us for Punt Road.
Waite on the day he retired - “I don’t really like Richmond, I never have. I think it relates from Dad. And we hate them here, too!”

 

[Sopwiths North]

Big congrats to Jarrad, he was one of my all time faves. Truly a dark old war horse, and just so much fun to watch.













I miss everything about him, but I'm so glad he's found a brand new mission to enjoy. Best of luck Waitey.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Footballers like Waitey don't really make the grade anymore.

 

[Luke72]

He was grouse, I would hope someone like him would be given a shot. I like to think he views himself as a North man. I reckon the Kangas faithful got behind him in a way the Blues never did.

Rated him as a player at Carlton but he was probably even better than I expected.

Hand up I'd have packed him up in 2016 when we made the indiscriminate cuts. However by end of 2018 I wanted to keep him on. Wish we had for another year or 2. What a great foil for a developing Larkey he'd have been.

 

[amaz199]

His hands were just about as good as any.

He'd take 3 blokes up with him and still clunk them. Unreal player. Miss him greatly.
