#15 Jayden Laverde - keeping it uninjured (1 week)
Yeah but people arenโt quoting their defensive tackling features as the main reason for getting picked.
I liked the signs that LAV showed in the VFL midfield towards the end of last yearโฆsoโฆif I had my way, Iโd continue that, and our 2019 VFL centre bounce midfield would be focused on these names:
- Langford
- Laverde
- Mynott
- Begley
Because, I still want to see whether two of these names can become the successors to Myers/Heppell in coming years. They all have a bit of size, decent disposal skills, but perhaps lacking a touch of speed/agility, but that canโt be helped.
You would have deduced by now that I donโt quite feel that Mutch/Clarke have the qualities to make the leap to senior AFL.
And lastlyโฆI donโt think any of these boys would object to being thrown the challenge of playing in the midfield. Quite the opposite. I think Laverde wants to play midfield. I think most AFL players relish the challenge of playing midfield. Perhaps Langford/Begley would be most impatiently eyeing a senior opportunity in the forward line.
Maybe they play in the VFL as 50/50 mid/forward, and if called upon to play in the AFL this year, try to still give them 25/75 mid/forward exposure at that higher level.

Some of you guys are breaking accepted protocol in here.
Need to go thru the appropriate channels.
@barnz
Can we begin discussing a LAV inclusion for the Rd.7 Geelong game?
Iโm well aware of the hoodoo but fukk hoodoos.
I implore you to reconsider your earlier stance and thank you for reading.
Pls adviseโฆ
With Brownโs injury, Iโm surprised that the Club havenโt pulled him from todayโs game. If he plays limited minutes, you would have to assume that he will be selected for the Cats game. Really wanna see Lav given a decent run at it. Am backing him in to come good & secure a senior spot.
Whatโs the Geelong thing referencing? Asking for a friend
Plenty of rest in between. If he canโt play a full VFL game without getting injured then he canโt play a full AFL game.
Iโm backing him. Now is a great opportunity for him.

He kicked 6 last week & got a full game under his belt. Not a big deal. Thought they may have pulled him & just trained him hard with the senior group during the week (which theyโll do anyway if he is in the frame). I guess I am just risk averse when it comes to the Lav. Anyway, go you good thing.
