Happy he stays!
He gets an opportunity to have a big preseason as he is still young and not at his peak just yet.
Pound for pound strongest player at the club and he is quick.
He needs to build his confidence is all and he will find the pill and kick more goals.
Has he got a tank to build on and play in the midfield? Perfect size for it
Perfect size but has he got the tank I donβt think so, nor the skill of a midfielder
Oh yeah, heβs got the tank.
Just get him TF in the guts
Glad he has stayed, he is worth more to us than what we probably would have got in a trade anyway.
He hits the scoreboard every time he plays. Its just that most of the time it is through the wrong set of sticks. For me, it is obvious that he can generate scoring looks, he just needs to convert them at a higher rate. 11.13 from 10 games this year. If half of those points are goals we are looking at him very differently. If he can somehow tidy up his kicking and keep gaining confidence in his body, I think he can be a real solid role player for us
Has he ever had a full pre season?
Nope
So unlucky.
l am another who supports his inclusion. ATM he is a fringe best 22, so lower down in the pecking order. Injuries have played a massive part in stumping his development. He is a powerful unit, and we need to find the best way to utilize his best attributes. He is a back up for Stringer, but needs to become more than just that. He has enough size to be a presence, either on the ball or around the forward line. l am backing him in to make a strong impression next season.

With Long gone, Laverde is likely to assume the mantle of list clogger in 2020
Itβs the power of Lav Iβm most excited about.
Begley wins for mine

Rarely puts in a four quarter performance.
Itβs possible thatβs heβs too muscular and therefore his body keeps breaking down.
It wonβt happen overnight

Mutch gets a pass from me because his VFL numbers stack up. I havenβt given up on him completely. He has a year to show his worth.
Thatβs seriously been one of his drawbacks. At times he has been too powerful for his frame. Seems sorted now that heβs a bit older. Hope it is anyway.
