HB: McInnes Anthony Sheehan

HF: T. Thomas Henderson B. Johnson
F: Wilkinson Waite Wilson
R: Wood Bell Garlett

C: Hartman Sheringham Stringer
HF: Hollmer Walker McCarthy
F: Luxford Brown Toohey
R: Banjanin Schroder Gleeson

Couple of interesting names: Byrne was supposed to have an injured knee, yet he is named, as is White. Bell is a much higher probability to play, which is a positive move.

Waite to kick 10.  :(
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

If he was any good and not a sook he wouldn't get dropped

He's no loss, Levi and Lachie will kick a bag each in the seniors.  ::)

He's not going to take us where we need to go. Move him on and find someone who can!

If we cannot get trade value for him (highly unlikely now) then there is no point moving him on. We don't have enough coverage in those areas so we might as well keep him. His 10 years is up this year I think so he won't cost us much to keep and he can play several positions. If nothing else he gives us depth for another year or two.

What's the alternative?

The problem with this group is they were mentored by the likes of Stevens, camporeale, Whitnall, Beaumont, Allen and Thornton.

We don't need sooks like Waite and Walker teaching the kids their bad habits.

Waite must be the new whipping boy because there were others who were worse last week.  Walker for one should consider himself blessed as his form has been worse than awful.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Let Waite go as FA if he wants to play on and get a compo pick. We'd get more in compo than we'd get in a trade.

He's 31. He is not the future. He cannot be on our list next year. He is a horrible example if we are trying to rebuild.

If we're not rebuilding then we're contending. And we're obviously not going to get anywhere near finals with this list.

Certainly our only effective tall forward last week.  We must be tanking.

FA? I didn't know he had suitors. GWS players absolutely, Gold Coast yep - Carlton ?????

The players clubs are interested in are the Yarran, Murphy, Gibbs, Walker types with perhaps a Casboult type but not for anything that would really benefit us.

Waite will either retire or play out his career at Carlton. A couple of years back (27 - 28 years age bracket) yes he had currency but I don't think he does now. Who would take him? Fremantle? Hawks? Can't see it happening nor the Power and the Swans definitely don't need him.
