Thought he was good way more tougher and quicker as mid than Langford,Langford is better suited at the at HF/wing,
Oh my lordy
Really like him as a half forward who can push up the ground and provide that link up target - Iβd play him similar to Adelaideβs Tom Lynch.

I think he should play middle I would have Langford HF
Oh yeah. Iβd scrolled down and added disposals and kicks.
Still, he had a presence and intensity that was lacking from most of our team and was easily top 10 for us. Will be an absolute wrecking ball.
Sure he only had to play a half (so could spend his tickets quicker) but so did some other guys like Merret who had no impact despite only having limited minutes.

For any game against Geelong he is best suited to watching from the stands (and thus avoid serious injury).

This is an excellent post. Deserves more likes.
One thing I clearly remember from that time was just how good all the players were overhead. So many of them were top quality markers of the ball. Clean hands, one grab & they were off. They could also kick the pill & loved kicking goals on the run. We had unlimited scoring options.

Laverde needs to play round one. Brings some additional Mongrel to the forward line.

And with Daniher down, a forward line built around Brown and Smack will need that extra bit of height and leading patterns inside forward 50 up to the wings. Heβd also add to the midfield rotations which differentiates himself from Stewart.

Iβm on the LAV bandwagon. Bring the young lad in. Let him bury Heater in the turf. LAV!

Stringer already does that
Unless Stringer or Langford are out I donβt really see a place for LAV.
He fitted in vs Port end of last year only because we went in with one kpf in Brown only. If Langford in time can transition into Myers spot then LAV could secure a permanent spot.

I think itβs completely illogical to suggest that Daniherβs absence means there is more need for Lav to play.
Smack is a clear like for like replacement for Joe.
Nothing else changes.
Whether Lav plays or not will have nothing to do with Joeβs absence

Depends whether they intended to play Joe plus 1 or Joe plus 2 talls.
If we were gonna play Joe +1 then youβre right, if they were going to structure up with Joe +2 then it would be out of Laverde and Stewart for the vacant 3rd spot.
I donβt include Stringer as a structural tall
I think itβs odd to include Laverde as a tall but not Stringer. Stringer plays taller than Laverde imo

Stringer has never really been a great marking player, his hands have been his biggest issue in his forward craft. Iβve always seen him as a tall small forward, and thatβs something that always frustrated my dogs mate when Beveridge had him playing at FF.
Jayden is a Lead-Mark player in the forwardline who presents well up onto the wing as a link up option, his best games in the twos were when he played as a KPF in our very small forwardline and whilst he is undersized he plays as a more traditional βtallβ

I reckon heβs a confidence player too, as they said in Top Gun, βKeep sending him upβ.
