While I'm well aware of just how Jekyll and Hyde Waite cane be, I somehow think that makes him a good fit!
In all seriousness though, if we'd had him available even this year for a few games, he would have done better than a few of our cardboard cut outs. I don't expect him to be a world beater, but we've had some terribly inconsistent/injured forwards this year, if he can pass a medical and stay fit, he'd offer some decent depth at worst, going forward (bdum tish). Ok, actual worst case scenario is that we pay him a 500K a year for 3 years, and he plays 2 games, but hey at least our team might finally have the potential to get in the top 4!
That's the issue though, Waite isn't the guy that takes you the next step. Carlton have wasted the last 5 years thinking that he was.
Black and Daw haven't come on as you hoped, but at least you know now. Waite is also a known quantity, he's inconsistent, injury prone, undisciplined, and 31.
