Well his manager should have sought a better opportunity at a new club... Matt Priddis obvious devil's advocateWell that's incorrect.
31 have not been as you put it, pretty poor.
This is clearly a make or break season for Majak. I think you will find he would have played over a 100 games for us had we not had the premier ruckman in the comp from 2014-2016. He is a ruckman, unfortunately for him, he is 3rd in line for that role.
Also, In that 9 years he has been on our list Melbourne haven't played finals or beaten us, so I guess it could be worse.
It's the 23 games thing that stands out. Missed at least 6 games each of the previous 6 years then casually rolls out a 23 game year at age 32.
All jokes aside, Waite's football at North has been nothing short of fantastic.
Didn't really play as a forward this weekend, was excellent around the ground.
He has shown lots of potential at North that's for sure, often early in the season too. His first few rounds last year were amazing as well.
He didn’t play till round 7
Except he had 8 scoring shots round 1. His first few rounds could be amazing at round 20 too, if they were his first few rounds of the season.
Those stats are somewhat misleading, he spent a fair bit of time in defence with Carlton and only became a bonafide forward in his last few seasons with us. Before that he was a genuine swingman who spent more time in the back 6.Fairly solid evidence that Waite's most consistent footy has been played at North Melbourne.
Also had his highest possession count since 2009 last week.

Playing in our backline during the worst period in the clubs history most certainly didn't help him get more possessions. The only real difference in stats are goals and cont marks, the rest are negligible.I agree with you on the goals tally but playing down back allowed him to take far more marks and rack up possessions and tackles at Carlton.
The reality is he struggled with consistency as a forward at Carlton, something he has found at North, and which makes him far more valuable now.

His perceived inconsistency came through getting suspended or injured. When he actually played he did well, I don't think of his time when on the field at Carlton as inconsistent.
Well you did get pick 64 back for Jeffrey so no need to be so sadWaite Kennedy Betts
Garlett Henderson Yarran
and don't forget...BIG FEV!!!
We've essentially given/traded away an elite forwardline over the years #sad
LOLWell you did get pick 64 back for Jeffrey so no need to be so sad
LOL
Waite = nothing in return, despite him getting a decent FA contract and obviously playing strong footbal
Yarran = pick 19, massive ripoff and when healthy is worth 2 first rounders
Betts = Thomas, lol worst of the lot
Garlett = pick 64, probably worth a top 20 pick but he was out of form so fair enough
Henderson = Decent return, fair enough
Fev = Great return, we reamed Brissy
At no point in time, in any universe, was Chris Yarran ever worth two first rounders.
lol if we got 2 first rounders for a 29 yr old gibbs, we could've gotten the same for Yazzamatazz in his primeAt no point in time, in any universe, was Chris Yarran ever worth two first rounders.
Some stinkers there tbh, the Malthouse years especiallyLOL

EDIT: he was drafted at pick 6 mind you!
i mean pretty much shows we could have an elite forwardline if it wasn't for Malthouse. Instead it's our biggest weakness.Some stinkers there tbh, the Malthouse years especially
