Former #15 Jayden Laverde - π‹π’π―πžπ“›π“ͺ𝓾𝓰𝓱 𝕃𝔸𝕍 LEFT

Turns out you could hurry lav

He was the best and the worst of Essington. Sometimes horrible, sometimes good. Decision making was terrible but his courage, effort and toughness could never be called into question and he gave his all. Thanks for trying LAV.

He’ll do better in good team with a competent coach.

Good luck Lav, you will be missed

A VFL standard player who tried his best and filled some injury holes. Will perform the same role at the Giants if they take him. Good luck, Lav!

I find it pretty funny that β€œwe delisted him”. The guy went to fly direct from our last game to sign up with GWS lol.

Guy was gone before merrett

Wait, hang on, this whole verse can work:

To fix up Lewis Hayes
Zach Reid and McKay

It probably is political to help hide the player exodus. Maybe they should get in quick and delist Zach?

Appreciate what hes done but it was time to go. Hope they shook his hand on the way out and thanked him for his efforts

What’s the alternative? Try and keep him? Let him sit there and end up with some ridiculous trade situation?

Delisting him is an obvious move.

In the end it probably makes it easier for him to get to GWS.

He’d net a pick we wouldn’t use, and has no value for pick matching, in any trade.

Let them nab him as a DFA or SSP signing if they want him.

No I mean he was leaving anyway, hardly a delisting. I agree he had to go either way

Loved LAV. Gave his all.
Miss u bro.

Yeah he was going either way, we hadn’t offered him a contract so even if GWS wasn’t interested he was getting delisted

On FaceTime with Sam Mitchell. Crying his heart out asking if Sam can throw Jayden a contract too.

He is leaving because we weren’t renewing him. He was after an extension even last year and had his Bfff in the rat Merrett go in and ask why we weren’t extending Jayden’s contract.

Don’t get it mixed up - Laverde was shoping around because he was told he ain’t getting renewed here.

Gave it his all. Good luck to him.
