Fox mid week tackle reporting that saints think they can get Laverde. They said it should take a third round pick because we didn’t give him an extension lol. I don’t think these peanuts realize he is contracted for next year.
Let him go and get some draft points in for Kako. If we can’t find another defender then worst case get Tomlinson in as a free agent. Couple years older but an upgrade on Laverde and can either be depth or give time for Reid / Hayes to step up
Deal.
Saints could look at it as out Battle and a third, in Lav and a first round pick of some kind.
Not bad at all for them.
I’d be trying to get a couple third round picks at least given he’s contracted
I dunno, it all comes across a bit like we are pushing him out the door. A case of sure, we are happy to honour the contract, but we’d rather you find something else.
I suspect if St.Kilda do actually want him, we’ll just take whatever is offered.
Take the pick and run I say…
He could.
Dont be surpised if Lav becomes a decent defender at a club that has a good system and better players around him
Playing in the backline at Essendon must suck with the amount of ball that goes there
Was reported that Battle may end up staying Saints have matched what the Hawks were offering
Battle to Hawks was was locked in but not anymore
your a week behind nino.
Well forget what i said then 
I’d assume Saints have plenty of salary cap.
If you watched Essendon regularly this year then you will be stunned.
He was atrocious in so many ways
I wouldn’t be surprised. Rather I would be astonished!
Just like Ben McKay did…
Geelong has now joined the race for Lav
3 clubs all want him just see who offers the best deal and run.
A defence next year with no Heppell, Kelly or laverde
I’m actually optimistic for the future now
We should be able extract a decent pick from this competition for LAV.
No no he’s a walking liability how could any club want him? Must be the manager beating up a story… LOL
Geelong!
Well in that case, you can have Lav and our first round pick for a third rounder
This is something that will legitimately surprise me.
