AFL Player #15: Jayden Laverde

[Beerfish]

Contract Status: Unrestricted Free Agent 2025
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 7, Nuggs Bunny

Feel bad for him . Has had no luck. As for keeping him , how many times do you run into a brick wall ?
May be good for him if he gets a chance somewhere else as his luck is out with us.

Still 6-7 weeks away from playing according to the injury report. Depending on what they decide to do with the fixture (can see them doing 4 rounds in 3 weeks again so that Adelaide, Brisbane, Collingwood, Geelong, Gold Coast, Norf, Port, Richmond, St. Kilda and Western Bulldogs can have their midweek byes and they get ahead of the schedule) that's still at least 7 games. So if he's lucky he might be fit for the last two rounds, but given our natural conservatism nowadays and his history, he'd be unlikely to play before finals, if we even make them.

 

[HirdyLannister]

His season is done

Running in the AlterG later in the week. Seems to be about 2-3 rounds behind Stringer with an almost identical injury

Forward Jayden Laverde (syndesmosis) will recommence running this week after undergoing surgery.

"Jayden's making excellent progress. He's three weeks post-ankle syndesmosis stabilisation surgery. He's walking freely out of the boot, he's got good ankle range, good strength and we expect he'll be running on the anti-gravity treadmill later in the week."

Does he get another contract? I’d have him ahead of Mutch, Townsend, Begley, Cutler plus Bellchambers retirement.

Why so we can all be let down again when the next injury hits.
He is just as gone as the others mentioned.

If lists are reduced, no chance. If lists aren't reduced, depends how many players we need in this draft.

Yep I'd give him a year.

He was injury free this year up until what was an unfortunate contact injury.
He has had many unfortunate impact injuries throughout his career. It's not the same as Fantasia who has a lot of soft tissue injuries.

I don’t think lists will be tefu

I’m a bit more bullish on Laverde given he they haven’t been soft tissue injuries

 

[Beerfish]

Philosophically I want to give him one more year to try and put it together but realistically I can see that not being possible.

He was looking like having a very good game when he copped his latest injury. Has anyone compared him to Gumby yet?

At least two injuries a year since he was 16. For me the bull has turned into steer.

As I said above. Has had injuries and missed footy every year since he was 16. And there has always been a 4 to 8 week injury at least once.
It is time to cut him loose and bring in someone new.

I'm not sure but there's a chance they will. If we can get points for him to go towards our academy players I would do it

 

[Zach Package]

I mentioned in another thread I have 35 must keeps in my head going into next year and he’s not one of them.

I’d certainly like to because he was actually starting to play like the next level athlete that he is but I could understand if both sides sat down and decided it was just not going to happen for him here.

Could easily see him going elsewhere and making meaningful contributions though.

A fit for JD, Stewart & Stringer and Jayden struggles to get a game especially with Langfords form in the forward line.

I do wonder where he may find better opportunity though, an injury or two and we are in desperate need for him.

If one of them goes down he comes straight in, keep imo

I heard from someone that the dogs maybe interested in him.

He's as, if not more, likely to go down with injury than those three though

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Rookie list at best. Unfortunate.

About 15 good ones please

Injury report states that he is integrating in with the main group for training and will be available within the next week or so.

Sure does! Crazy, wasn't expecting him back quite this soon. So probably not WCE on Tuesday but Geelong on Sunday.

I had him penciled in for the R17 Port game at the earliest

The injury list at the bottom has him listed as 1-2 weeks which indicates unlikely Sunday, possibly Port.

Yeah quite surprising. I didn't think we'd see him again, but it looks like he made a quicker than expected recovery.

Didn't he play his best ever game against Port a few years back?
