Squiggle tips Lions at 64% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
You have a player in their last year vs a player with a career ahead of him and i doubt on output Baguley would be streets ahead so it comes of no benefit playing him ahead of Lav if Lav is playing well and is fit.Yes I think the coaches will be happy to play Laverde ahead of Baguley.
I personally love Baguley as you know what you will get. However, what you'll get isn't as good as Laverde's best.

It’s early March, Bruno. For Bombers fans that’s traditionally a time when heavy losses in preseason games are the only things slightly diminishing summer’s boundless optimism.I'd like to share you optimism but the coaches seem to select Baguley every time.
YesIs he coming off injury.
Doss Do you want to explain yourself?

Greatest individual effort you have seen on the footy field: Doss’s (Jayden Laverde) three first-quarter goals
Yeah I kicked three goals in the first stanza once. It was cool.
100% agree with this. Baguley didn’t look great in the JLT so I think it’s wiser to develop Laverde and keep Baguley as depth.Would play him ahead of Baguley. We have Tippa, Fantasia, Smith and McGrath who can all play as small forwards...really need another player who can mark the ball and provide some size up forward.
Laverde is strong and quick....no reason he can’t bring the same level of pressure as Baguley.
I've never really got the Laverde hype. His first 4 years at the club have produced a good first half against Geelong and a 3 goal quarter against somebody (i forget who it was, Gold Coast?). The coaches have never had him as a priority selection, nearly always choosing to select someone else ahead of him. Like last year he got games after Begley and Green were injured. Now he's fallen behind Baguley in the pecking order too. This is despite the fact that Baguley barely even kept his spot on the list.
My prediction is he'll continue to just be a depth player as long as he's on our list. He's not awful but he lacks the endurance to be a midfielder, lacks the forward nous to be a quality AFL forward and just doesn't really fit into an AFL structure as far as I an tell.
Lead, mark, turn, kick inside fifty to the advantage of Stringer (?) for a goal in one of the JLT games was perfect. He needs a consistent run of games. I just hope he gets his chance before he decides he wants out.Kicked 3 goals in the first qrt against Port last year
