We're undecided if it's bad sportsmanship or a clever troll but North Melbourne veteran Jarrad Waite sparked debate on social media after an incident with Melbourne defender Sam Frost.
During the first quarter of Saturday's match at Blundstone Arena, Waite offered Frost a hand to help him up from the ground, before withdrawing it right as the Demon was about to grasp.

Supporters took to social media to air their opinion, with many split on whether Waite's act was bad sportsmanship or not.

Disgusting behaviour from Jarrad Waite, but hardly surprising seeing that he is a classless bogan. #nosportsmanship https://t.co/CV0tYrt4yw
