Also should be dropped because we all know what happens when he plays against Geelong

Worth a packet of chips.
Consistent injuries do that to some players.
Always playing on getting caught holding the ball.
Dors he need a role cange. Could he play in the backline?
Missed a lot of footy. Be patient FFS.

what pearl of wisdom does wob have for us?
Heβs cooked. Iβm with you on Langfordβs talent, but I reckon LAV is a complete bust.
Iβm honestly not sure these days whether any of our guys under 24 are just no good or poorly developed.

I really rate Langford and I reckon LAV could be better. Just hoping he hasnβt missed too much early development/wonβt carry the ghost of those early injuries for the rest of his career.

never know missing one on one time with skipworth could save his careerβ¦
Nothing to play for this year, leave him in and see what happens
His biggest flaw in his game is his agility. Everything needs to go perfect for him to maintain possession.

And he canβt find the footy
Trade.
Was he drafted as a big slow 3rd tall because I thought he was midfield material? Watching him he looks fckn slow as fck and with Hooker/Daniher/Stewart and Tippa operating at about 50% pace itβs a fckn embarrassment for pace up forward. Faz is the only person with any speed. I have no idea what Laverdeβs role in the team, bar doing fck all and taking about 3 marks per game.

Iβm very sure which one of those it is.
Heβs quick not slow. Heβs aggressive, a good mark and used to be able to kick in his previous life. Has played only 26 games and has had his confidence battered by a terrible run of injuries, hence we havenβt been able to see these attributes outside the VFL.
At the moment we have 3 places in the 22 being given to young or inexperienced players who havenβt yet developed to AFL standard. With 14 games to go, if we increase that to 4-5 places, thatβs 56-70 games we can pump into 7-8 young/inexperienced players, some of whom should make the step up between now and 2020.
The same posters bagging Lav used to bag gleeson and mcKenna. They like to go early on every player who is struggling so that they can show their wonderful footy insight as 50% of players with AFL level talent donβt make it anyway; or they can just enjoy mckennaβs brilliance along with the rest of us.

Every player looks ordinary in a dysfunctional team.
There is no point judging a junior/inexperienced player at the moment.
Senior players howeverβ¦

Someone needs to go to St Kilda and tell them we have some young big bodied mids for trade
Wrap up laverde and langford in a package and trade them for a couple of second round picks

Hey Mate - you have your head, knowledge and lateral thinking in the sand, IF you think these boys are the issue. Look at the club βoff fieldβ ist , look at you and your mates who continually promote the individualism of the players and NOT the team. You wanted stringer and Saad INDIVIDUALS at best to go with Joey and Goddard .
Lav Lang Clark they will all leave our club and you will be stuck with the quagmire of β β β β .How the β β β β would these lads have a chance the wsy this club is. It is an embarrassment at best
