If you think lavβs kicking is better than average (I.e. better than half the comp) youβre a biased Essendon nuffy
Got him
LAV
Donβt think I ever seen an Essendon player turn his career around like this itβs been remarkable
You ever beat your opponent so badly he changes his name?
Heβs making it, heβs making it Laverde is making it to the end of the season!
Amazing effort. He seems to get pretty badly beat up every week but man is he tough. Whoβd have thought Lav would be a lock in our backline 12 months ago. Masterstroke from Truck.
In the lead up to the game the ch7 commentators were re-ranking players from his draft year and they didnβt even mention Lav.
Heβs now Top 10 in my books.
Iβd have him between 10 and 20 at this stage. Before this season he would have been well outside the top 20. A few more years like this one and heβll easily be top 10.
Has he activated his contract trigger yet?
Who said better then average? The stats are right there on the AFL website, his kick efficiency is average for a key defender. 37th of 75 key defenders.

He needs a lot more than a single high-quality, injury-free season to push up the rankings. I can understand a lot of players being ranked higher until Lav had more runs on the board.

This could be the Liam Jones moment for us. He is seriously solid down back playing on small and talls. Dare I say, I have more confidence with him on the oppositions #1 than Stewart. Easily top 5 in the B&F and 100% will win most improved.
Wash your mouth out with covid grade soap please.
Laverde is everything I hoped Tayte Pears would be.

Thatβs Chad Sexington to you

i had most posts in the last thread, back off mate
Talk Laverde to me
What an absolute beast weapon of a defender he has turned into
So because Laverde missed a kick today that means his kicking is so bad? Are you going to post the same in the Ridley or Merrett threads next time they do a bad kick? Everyone stuffs a kick up every now and then, it doesnt make them a bad kick.
