Did you forget he has two AAs as a half back? Half a season of form below his usual output doesn’t mean he’s washed up as a half backDisagree on both parts. Laird has been in our top players for the last 5 years but I wouldn't say he has been our outright best in that period.
I also think Matt is more important to keep. He has proven midfield form and plays a clearly defined role that we can build around. If Laird doesn't make it as a midfielder, he reverts to half back where we are stacked with talent
