On in front of Peter “Mr” WrightThere's nothing scarier as a footballer being isolated in defence..
Well...plugging a hole in front of Lockett/Ablett probably was, but not so much these days.
Having watched the replay a couple of times I think it was one of the better games he has played. Sure he looked a bit inept one on one a few times but in general he read the ball pretty well and he was bloody good in the back end of the zone when we have the ball inside 50.

Read which way the play was going and intercepted/ spoiled a few times when Geelong looked to get out of defence. There was no daydreaming. He was always in the right position to pick up the outlet player or the players intercept.Do you mind elaborating on what you mean by being good in the back end of the zone?
I want to try to understand more of the specifics of what is required/expected of players in the zone.
Thanks in advance.
Weird thing to mention about Laverde, but he's got an innate ability to get a handball out to a target when he has no right to. The one to Tippa for the game winner vs. North is the stand out obviously.
If he gets his body right, I'd love to see him as an inside mid, as good as he's looked as a defender.

Worst on ground.
How about the two times he couldn't punch it through and Hawthorne goaled in the third? Playing against the man mountain that is Dylan Moore, all 174cm of him...Not even close. Played well whenever there was pressure from the middle. Their mids had all the time in the world to burn him.

Sorry but he had 6 inches on the bloke and couldn't kill the contest. Twice.He made some errors under pressure, prefer errors with effort than what our mids did in the second half.
