I like that the club, on paper, said that Waite was 'omitted'... he should be ashamed. Despite his wonderful talent he has let our club down and his team mates down on too many occasions to be trusted. Trust only results from sustained reliability to perform. (And if I see him plead for a free again I'll scream... focus on playing, Cocko, ingnore the umps). Maybe Waite is a strong contributor to our inconsistent intensity.
Don't agree Baggers
Waite was the only one of our tall forwards who contributed last week. Dropping him sends the wrong message to those players who are out of form or who didn't put in last week. Yes, Waite has let the club down in the past but this is probably his most consistent and injury free season - and he is 5th for contested marks this season (he and Casboult are the only Carlton players in the top 80).
If there had to be a change, Henderson should have been the one running around with the Northern Blues.
Good and important points. But I suspect that his demotion is due to more subtle leadership issues and general inconsistency.
Yes, yes, yes... Hendo has (also) failed to deliver in many respects in season 2014. And what does that say about our situation...? Do we in fact have a psychologically dominent/strong tall? Nuh. Our 'bigs' are so very 'little' between the ears; they cannot deliver week in, week out. Set as a template our 'bigs' against J. Brown.
