Are you talking about Laverde, or Langford, or both?
Lav for sure, I reckon Lang has shown the odd glimpse.
Would still play Begs ahead of both of them right now
Thereโs about 20 odd posters on here suffering from this, they also refer to some sort of amazing potential Lav once showed in his past to deserve the hype and make ridiculous excuses like heโll come good once we carry him for another season? The delusion is strong with this one
Good question perhaps to be pondered if you had to make a choice between Lav and Lang who would it be and would club consider giving up one if them in a trade
Back to VFL for finals. Give him a full pre-season and weโll assess him at the end of next year.
We had our chance to trade laverde to st kilda
โฆwhat?
Was pretty easy to find flaws in his game today - would never make this criticism of him
Iโve been on the hype train since before recruitmentโฆ Iโve peddled the injury excuses, the poor San excuses, the development excuses, the saga excusesโฆ u name it Iโve used itโฆ but fmd I just canโt defend that effort today. Pure spudness and doesnโt deserve the finals spot. Both he and Lang have really disappointed thus far.
He was never leaving. It was just Paul Connors trying to squeeze a few extra dollars out of the club.
Lavs been terrible. Needs to be dropped and focus on a massive injury-free pre season
He does have the physique. Very rarely uses it.
Never uses his pace with ball in hand. He found the footy in space off half back today and ran backwards. I was like WTF. Take the game on. You have the tools man.
No confidence.
And he just hasnโt shown his explosiveness that he showed in his draft year. Frustrating.
Pretty easy question.
What a surprise. Young player struggles after disrupted preseason.
disrupted pre-season has nothing to do with the arrogance of not thinking he has to man up or chase his man or even be part of a defensive zone, completel liability
Serious question. What evidence is there that he is being โcarriedโ or that he is in some way cheating the supporter base by his anonymity during his vast body of work over 23 games? You have some strong opinions but I have rarely detected any insight beyond a rudimentary emotional feel for the game.
He wasnt. He was miles behind his opponent and his opponent ran off him .
Settle down
EFA.
โDidnโt get a full pre-seasonโ is one thing.
Being kept from playing for an extended period, two years in a row, is a little more than that.
Just needs to get his confidence back, โฆ seems to have lost his belief in himself at Senior level.
โฆ itโs coming, โฆ slower than I think Iโve ever seen it return, โฆ like itโs on a friggin drip feed.
Iโm gonna call him Pantene from now on until it does.
(It wonโt heppen over night, โฆ but it โฆ etc)
Remind me what it is he does well other than looking physically imposing?
Is he being played out of position? Is he more a midfielder?
No touches?
