Hope Lav can stay on the park for the rest of the year and prove all the doubters wrong. Has been really unlucky with injuries but if he can get a good run of it I think he can be a gun. Letβs hope.
Really attacked the footy and tackled hard especially early on, I imagine he knocked up a bit as the game wore on but after several interruptions to his training/playing thats understandable
I thought it was a pretty β β β β β β decent return, little better accuracy and it would have been a fantastic return to the senior side
Surprised at some of the reactions to his game on here.
He was in the side replacing Baguley.
Baguley appeared to be in the side previously for nothing other than his defensive pressure.
Laverdeβs defensive pressure was far better than anything Baguley has provided this year.
I canβt think of a single other attribute that Baguley could boast to be superior to Lav.
At worst, surely we all agree heβs an upgrade on Bags?
Shocking conditions for a marking mid sized forward to come back and play his first game in a long time. Laid 6 tackles and busted his backside off in getting to contests and bringing the ball to ground. He keeps Bags out period, he hasnβt laid more than 5 tackles in a game all year and thatβs not good enough from a small/pressure forward
Didnt he deliberately fluff the Carlton interview before he got drafted so they wouldnβt pick him? He obviously had dialogue with Disco and complete confidence he was going to get taken as thats a massive risk! Apparently he rocked up with a bum bag and and behaved like an arrogant hack! Dont know how true but i love it
