I didn't watch, but I can see he was playing Fortnite. Am disappoint.

He's got a Runescape ironman on the go, some cred restored.

How does that game even still exist

People like Lav afk fishing keeping it alive lol

 

[eDPS]

He was awesome, rebounded and defended equally well and just tough as nails to keep going after that big hit.

Jadeywadey? Wtf is that?
Even Margaret is better.

 

[Zach Package]

Low pressure game for sure but on that evidence I don’t see why he couldn’t play small more often

Was not low pressure for the back half.

It is the 1234 that really sells it for me.

Excuse me?

I've watched him play - lobbies would have to be 95% bots and AI. I don't think there's many real players in OCE left

He catches one Every. Single. Week….and just plays through.

Unless it breaks or dislocates, he’s going. Love it.

JaydeyWaydey was already taken (understandably)

1233 other Jaydeywadeys as well. Kids these days

 

[RedmanWasHere]

So Jayden sustains another injury vs Geelong.

When does the selection crew automatically cut Laverde before Geelong games?

It's a must now.

Love this fella to pieces.

Go back to the first couple of pages and you see words like ‘flighty’ ‘inconsistent’ ‘impact player’ and ‘x-factor’ and it just doesn’t reconcile at all with what he’s turned out to be.

He runs through brick walls, he’s smart, he plays the percentages and you know you’re always getting his absolute best.

Think releasing him to not play on a big key forward is really good for his intercepting and rebounding, it’s something he’s quite clearly capable of but it just frees him up that little bit more.

Got to be careful

He may get more marks, IM and disposals but its void if their big KPF like Hawkins is kicking 5-7 on Zerk

Not that many wouldve had much hope tonight

will look to prove his fitness for Friday night’s clash with the Western Bulldogs.

The 27-year-old suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter of Saturday’s loss to Geelong and was subsequently subbed out.

GM of Performance Daniel McPherson said Laverde will be given every opportunity to take his place in the best 22.

“Jayden went down with an ankle injury and with a short turnaround to this game, the decision was made to sub him out of the game last Saturday night,” McPherson said.

“He’s pulled up reasonably well and has been on light duties since the weekend, so hopefully he’ll get up for the Bulldogs game. We’ll know more later in the week."

[Lore]

From what Scott was saying in the post-match press conference he could've played with it but given how the game was going, there wasn't any point risking further injury.

 

[Petrify]

Absolutely ****ing awful game from him. Highlighted by his attempted tackle on Gulden who is 175cms and walked through his tackle to snap around and goal. Deserves a massive spray tonight.

 

[ghostdog]

Well, he laid a good tackle. I think Lav can be a really good defender if he doesn't have the responsibility of a key back.

 

[andleanback]

Was one of our worst. If we are getting mckay laverde gets pushed out of the 22. Imo

 

[Happyskeret]

Personally I don’t like him as a key defender. Rather him as the third tall option.
