I agree with Rod - Waite does not have the smarts to play in a KP.
One other thing which he needs to work on is his aggression - he gives away far too many free kicks due to sloppy tackles. This year he has received 9 frees for and 20 against.
His agression in our current team is something to be appreciated...even given the silly free kicks.
I've always thought of Jarrad as more clumsy than violent - his arms just go everywhere sometimes, he's just a bit reckless I reckon. I think the reason he gives away free kicks is that he is a tad overzealous in his tackling and attempts to get to the ball at times, which is something that needs to be remedied.
I would continue to play him up forward.
I've got no doubt his technique's and method's need sharpening up, but i think the intent is good and right now I'll take clumsy.
A good way to describe it is the old cliche....we could carry a carton of eggs out there and not break one
