RIP Laverde we hardly knew ye
We should just pull him out of preseason at the start of February
Laverdleton. Poor guy.
At least weβll get to hear about his plans for a mini pre season.
When he gets injured he reallllly gets injured. No week here and there stuff. Big lay offs.

Bookmarked that one did you?
Blitz search on fleek.
Surprising itβs not about how we drafted a white guy with leadership qualityβ¦
Can someone β β β β β β β shoot me thanks.
Iβve been complementary of the fitness staff largely but given he had hamstring tightness during the week why was he allowed to play in the intra club?
Very, very disappointing.
Same crap happened when Lloyd did the bad hammy in '06. Didnβt train on the Thursday (just goalkicking), did the massive tear the Sunday.
It is massive fark up
Terrible for Lav.
Langford watch now with even more scrutiny.
I can only think that we were worried that we would loseβ¦
On the face of it seems poor management but there wouldnβt be a player who doesnβt tighten up with hammies /calves etc as a result of football training.
In my illustrious (not really) footy career, I trained with Box Hill Hawks in a preseason and I got massages regularly after training as both were always tight from getting absolutely smashed with running, jumping, picking up ground balls etc.
If they do all their tests on mobility and passes & the player says heβs fine itβs just plain unlucky.
I canβt for one second think theyβd have played him if knew there was any significant risk. They are constantly managing players loads and giving light sessions etc for the whole list through preseason.
Love the LAV,
but luckily we have LAV2.0 on standby.
Canβt really answer this one until we know how often players play with hamstring tightness without issue.
