Bio
Recruited from Drouin in the Latrobe Valley, Vin Waite established himself as a dashing and versatile key defender for Carlton during a golden era for the club. Capable of playing at both centre half-back and full-back, he was renowned for his athleticism and willingness to back his judgement to run off his opponent and create drive from the back half. He became a linchpin of the Blues' defence under Ron Barassi, featuring prominently in the famous 1970 Premiership comeback against Collingwood and the high-scoring 1972 Grand Final victory over Richmond.
Waite remained a consistent fixture in the senior side throughout his tenure, earning selection for Victoria and proving vital to the team's structural integrity. He retired in 1975 after a decorated decade at Princes Park, having played a significant role in two premiership campaigns. His connection to the club continued into the modern era through his son, Jarrad Waite, who was drafted as a father-son selection and played nearly 200 games for the Blues before finishing his career at North Melbourne.
