it's a blow, but we all knew that it was a very good chance he wouldnt make it back for the finals.

 

[CaptainCharisma]

Yeah I thought it would be tough for him. Probably for the best if surgery is required to get him into rehab a couple weeks earlier, just disappointing we don't have him because he would make a hell of a difference to our side!

Terrible news for Jarrad.

On the plus side though, it appears that he has been promoted to General Manager of Football Operations...

I wonder if Icke knows he's been replaced?

 

[Bell Ringer]

Any chance he could have had hip surgery straight away and been right for finals, like Steve Johnson in 2009?

 

[Jeremias]

Shit news, but not unexpected.

Such an important player for us - get him ready for a big preseason so that he can come out firing in season 2012.

 

[Blue since 72]

Annoying but not unexpected news. On a side note do we like the photo of Jarrad celebrating a goal with the ball still in his hand?

 

[SE_Blue]

Probably for the best. Will give him a chance to get really fit for next year.

 

[FRUMPY]

very good decision by the club. Was pretty evident he wouldnt have had any impact missing so much footy. Get him fixed and cherry ripe for start of pre-season training for a charge at the flag next year.

 

[jonoman89]

Is this the same surgery Murphy and Russell have had? Hope he doesn't drop off like in form like they did....

 

[Wickzki]

Should have had the surgery a little sooner. While it would have been highly unlikely we'd have him back for the finals he would get a full preseason into him to put us into serious contention in 2012.

Best of luck, Jarrad. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

Yeah we wouldnt want him playing as badly as Murph has this season

From the article:

Waite injured his hip in Carlton’s round 16 match against the Western Bulldogs and had minor surgery in a bid to recover in time for the finals.

Just sayin' ...

My bad - skimmed the article and missed that.

Shit run with injuries in the last few years for Waite

 

[jonoman89]

Murphy had his in the 09/10 off season and his form dipped significantly in the early part of 2010. Russell has gone to shit this year for the same reason.

Hope Waitey has a clean bill of health for pre-season. If he and Jamo can play every game next year we should go very deep into the finals.

 

[PP34]

Meh I thought this would be the case for ages.

 

[Faz 2000]

I'd given up hope weeks ago of Waite playing again in 2011, so the earlier the surgery the better. NExt year is when we could really have a shot, and Waite makes us a helluva lot more dangerous. You KNOW he's capable of kicking a bag in a big final.

 

[Malifice]

In the EF, when the camera panned to Waite in the stands, you could see it on his face.

We were 6 goals up, and he was clearly shattered.

Poor guy.

 

[gbatman]

not great but it was the most likely out come. Just get him right for next season.

 

[Beloved]

It won't be so bad when he gets his premiership medallion next year.

Dam looks like heading the way Houlihan finished, we need to keep Hampson and hope he can end up playing Waite Role. I hope he can end up with a flag in the next 2 seasons, as It be very unlikely to play on if he continue having problems. I hope he Can get to 200, needs to have 3 years of minimal of injuries, maybe he needs to follow Kade Simpson.
