Looked like he was a goal kicking BBIM for a moment there. Or at least thatβs how I remember it.

And high flying, which we basically never saw after that massive ankle pre season vs Geelong.
Remember he did like 3 big injuries in 3 games vs Geelong?

His draft videos were amazing.
But, like always once a player gets to Essington, they stagnate, or get injured.

Look at how they massacred my boy!
Yep. He moved like a fkg jet early days. For about 5 years felt like heβd every time heβd come back through VFL heβd pull out a ridiculous highlight or 3. Big, fast, agile, huge leap. Maybe not the most polished disposal but just did things. He hasnβt been able to turn since approx 2019, I think he still moves OK in a straight line.

It will be interesting to see how Lav goes in another system. GWS move very quickly out of defence for example.
Some chance that if Ridley goes, Laverde stays.
Goes to GWS and becomes Bont Mk2

I canβt remember who it was, but their little profile thing was mostly black (may have been a βsack Scottβ one idk).

wasnt in the last 17 days but still
So weβve got a poster who said heβs βusefulβ in October last year, and then the same poster said heβs best 22 a month later.
Talk about a pedestal!

He was right though. The boys did have 10 year careers. Good pickups overall. Shame Lav got injured. Good drafting @Marco

Also funny to see big 2MP walking around in the background
If effort is to be congratulated over outcomes then weβre in a worse place then I thought.
