He does look better down back than forward when Iβve watched him in the 2βs.
I know what you mean. Watching him against GWS live and the the tigers this week, he has good forward pressure makes a contest of most.
But watching him kick and run this year itβs been weird. He has no penetration on his kick, and has lost speed. Could he have something like OP as well, it just seems like he has gone backwards, not just stagnated. Points to something else.
Didnβt Redman himself say a month or so ago that he didnβt actually play much forward as a junior. He just did for a few games towards the end of his U18 year.

why canβt we give him a run in the midfield?
Whenever I saw him play at Glenelg he was alway as a wing/HFF. Never saw him play as a deep forward but did plenty of work around the centre square to 50m arc. From speaking to his coaches at the time they also mentioned that his best position would be end up being between the arcs as either a defender or forward. He was pretty handy running down the wing thatβs for sure

baguely, hurley (at least temporarily), smack, tippa

Zerk Thatcher looks like a gun in the VFL games ivβe seen.

We have to get Redman in!
Laverde just isnβt making us dynamic going forward. Iβd rather we have a midget patrol of Green, Tippa, Fanta, Colyer, Long who are all zipping around giving the opp hell. Ensure the opp players who are trying to follow them run out of puff by Q2. Than a guy who leads 40 metres straight down the field for a good contested mark, falls over then takes 30 second to decide where he wants to dispose of the footy.
Essendon forward Jayden Laverde has suffered a low-grade hamstring strain and is set for two weeks on the sidelines.
Laverde suffered the injury during the VFL Bombersβ stirring victory over Box Hill on Sunday and scans on Monday confirmed the news.
Stay tuned for more details from Physical Performance Manager Justin Crow in the SKINS Injury Update on Tuesday afternoon.

Cant take a trick this guy.

RIP LAV
β β β β β β hell. Heβs cursed.
I donβt rate him, but the guy canβt take a trick and canβt get a chance to prove himself one way or another.
Will be very interesting to see what happens with him this offseason. Even if we want to keep him (and that may not be a certainty), he might want to try his luck elsewhere.

I feel for him, but along with me not thinking heβs much chop - he simply isnβt durable enough.
