Pretty incredible for him to record 9 disposals, 0 tackles, and 1 behind playing as a half forward against the blues.
However, although i think he is overrated on here, i still havenβt put a line through him yet.
Maybe a bit more game time, confidence etc and he could turn into something good.
Hope he plays well on Saturday.
In which quarter this week against Geelong will Laverde suffer a major injury?
Needs to continue to build his tank and play the Lynch (ADE) role.
We desperately need that contested marking target for the defenders to hit up on the way out.
Elephant in the room - he survived his game against geelong injury free!
Thought he was alright tbh, everyone did their jobs today. Heβs very strong in the contest.
Invisible the first three quarters. Donβt think he has it.
Really cracked in today, played angry
Thought he did ok. Should stay in
One bad game away from being dropped if not already.
4 or 5 weeks of playing midfield in the VFL will do him some good.
You gave the kiss of death to parish last week. Now youβve marked Lav! Youβre killing me!
He was very good today. Created a lot of dead ball stoppages in our forward half not letting it out. Got burnt by fanta good on him for letting him know about it. Building each week.
Just donβt see it with this guy.
Haha, I donβt think going back to the VFL as a negative.
The role he plays is a tough one because heβs probably 4th or 5th in line as a forward target and his lack of mobility means he canβt have an effect at ground level.
Heβs being played out of position and really needs to add strings to his bow.
More midfield minutes after the bye.
Can very much understand people thinking otherwise, but I really do think he has βitβ. It has never quite clicked for him but firmly believe it will.
Not true, . it did really click for him between his 1st Senior call up & his 1st injury.
Needs more games in a team playing like we did today for mine.
Showed a bit more today, as did Langers.
That goal to GEEL on quarter time made Lav look painfully slow.
Tonight reinforced what I already thought. Ordinary. I honestly donβt see how anyone can see much in this guy. His output is sh*t most of the time. He has zero excuses right now, and heβs consistently not performing at senior level which had been the case in pretty much every senior game heβs played.
Also was ignored by Stewart about 10 minutes earlier who instead kicked it long and Geelong ended up with the ball
That was his best game against Geelong ever.
Made it through the game.
I tend to agree, I think what letβs him down is his willingness to put his body on the line and it seems he is almost scared of getting hitβ¦
