Sadly that may be accurate. There are loads of variables and I have few details but with my admittedly limited knowledge Iโd guess 3 months assuming the reporting of the injury is correct.
This poor boy just keeps breaking 
At least his injuries have mostly been things out of his control, such as the **** that sat on his shoulder last year against Geelong
RATS!!!
Iโm not sure if he was best 22 yet, but he has so much promise. If he wasnโt in the AFL side I wanted him learning to dominate at VFL level. Instead heโs on the damn side lines.
I doubt weโll go with a medium tall anyway. Given our ruck and midfield woes, any spare slot will be used on players that can bolster those positions. I suspect JD, Stewart/Hooker, and Walla, Raz, Green and Colyer are all locks, so not really seeing the place for another medium tall. A Belly & Smack combo is a chance simply because of the ruck issues.
Silver lining? Back for finals!

I was hugely impressed by Laverdes preseason form. In my eyes it just reassured me that we have an absolute quality player on our hands. I had him inked into the side round 1. Heโs a classy 200 game player if he can get on the park.
Sadly it sounds like heโs hurt the inside of his ankle which is the bad side to hurt. I think the best 22 side is definitely hurt by his injury.

Is there still a chance for good news or has someone in the know said he is screwed for a while?

They were getting additional specialist advice tonight. That concerns me but hoping for the best but will obviously depend on the severity of the damage he has done. Fingers crossed.

If there getting specialist advice that generally means they are unsure how to treat it which most like points to quite a few weeks - if not a couple of months - on the sidelines.
Club needs to rest Laverde whenever we play Geelong in the future - heโs now played them twice for two bad injuries.

Unless the specialist says otherwiseโฆ
GONE. 6 -8 weeks I reckon.
Rip.
Based on stuff and things, it may be at least 12 weeks approximately.

Even though he hasnโt quite hit his full straps yet, I still reckon out forward line has looked more dangerous every time heโs been in it.
Decent loss for us, very disappointing for him.

Heโs in my best 22, Good combination of attributes, not many defenders would have him covered on all of speed, strength, marking, agility. Can be competitive in most scenarios.
Want him back and staying on the park.

I bet you didnโt hear that in Dubbo.
