Round 10 - Jarrad Waite
The son of Carlton premiership player, the late Vin Waite, Jarrad Waite made his senior début for the Blues in the opening round of this season. Having spent the entire 2002 season playing for Carlton’s VFL side, Waite emerged as a regular and reliable senior player for the club in 2003. He played in 20 games, earning his nomination for his 21 possessions and two goals against Fremantle in round 10. He is still developing his body strength, but Waite’s pace and ability to play forward or as an attacking player across half-back was promising in an otherwise disappointing year for his club.
