BJ is very underrated.
Been a gun for a long time.

Not a Redhead β¦
I canβt tell if youβre being serious. Do you think he looks like a red head there?
Heβs about as much of a red head as James Hird or Michael Hurley
Lots of positive training reports about Laverde at the moment. Like last year before injury he seems to be having a brilliant pre-season and with a bit of injury luck I expect him to be in the 22 come round 1. He might not be your typical inside/clearance big body midfielder, but he is still a big body which we lack. I still believe he will help improve the tough contested side of our game. Looking to him throwing his body weight around at ground balls, aerial contests and him laying some big bone-crunching tackles.

Thatβs probably a strawberry blonde. Temperament determines to which camp or genus he belongs, Himbo or Ranga. Safe hedge bet is a bit of northern Italian which puts him in the Eurotrash basket.

Near used the same term. Ginge tinge would be another.
Pretty much in the BJ mould/camp of rang.

Exciting times if he and Langers can fulfill their potential. Footy canβt start soon enough!

Laverde v Stewart, discussβ¦
One has actually played some consistent good senior footy, the other hasnβt
The hype around laverde is ridiculous. Heβs always been massively overrated on here

Important season for him.

- Stewart can give us a chop out in the ruck if need be.
Can he? Like when?

Like when got 5 hit outs for the the season last year.
Heβs got the worst rucking technique for someone of his size that ive ever seen.

He could be pushed off the ball by most players on our list.

For mine the second ruck is irrelevant. Joel has proven the role very well and Stewart is just going to have to toil away when heβs required.
No way do we go back to two dedicated rucks obviously and that only leaves Smack who is a less effective forward than Stewart.
The inroads need to be made from first ruck where I thought we were very poor last year.
If Belly canβt lift this season then I would be playing Draper from 2019 onwards. Hopefully he is physically developed enough by then.
Itβs all about perceived attitude. Langford looks like heβs doing a class presentation worth 2% of youβre grade.
