CibbuanoWaite to miss one-week
May 27th 2008 09:18
CARLTON utility Jarrad Waite will miss Saturday night's clash against Geelong at Telstra Dome after losing his challenge against a striking charge at the AFL Tribunal.
Waite was found guilty of striking Fremantle's Chris Mayne in the final term of the Blues' nine-point win at Telstra Dome last Saturday.
The 25-year-old argued he made high contact accidently after he jumped in the air after trying to block Mayne's handball.
But the tribunal disagreed and ruled that his conduct was negligent and that his actions constitute a strike.
The offence carried only 80 demerit points, however, Waite had 93.75 existing points which resulted in a one-match ban.
