AFL Player #15: Jayden Laverde

[Beerfish]

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

When Dan Richardson mentioned he had gone into the game with a tight hammy I thought to myself what an odd risk to take. There is, of course, a chance that the tendon injury is not related to the tightness but if it is you really have to ask serious questions about the decision to play.

The new David Myers??

 

[DapperJong]

he's dead

 

[Whispering_Jack]

Holy ******* s**t

No gif could satisfactorily convey my extreme disappointment at this news. This has not happened before.

I was having a great day, with two days to go before heading overseas for a short holiday, and now I am basically homicidal with rage.

 

[Blind Turn]

The new David Myers??

He might be the new Michael Wyers...

Hand up.
I mentioned an injury free preseason for Laverde on the main board softness thread

My bad.

Another wasted season coming up. I have real doubts on him realising his full potential. You can not keep getting injuries year after year. Looks like he may be in the "what could have been file "

 

[Buttsoup_Barnes]

Well...he's still better than Boekhorst I guess

Hands up who thought Hurley was gone for 10 weeks.

Hands up who’d have done a Faustian deal to swap these 2 when he went off holding his wrist.

It’s a small consolation...

I wouldn’t, Laverde is the last person on our list I’d want an injury for considering his luck and lack of chances to establish himself

Is this close?

He might be the new Michael Wyers...

The new Chaka Demi's & Pliers....tease me tease me!!

 

[Mad Bomber Sean]

No Lav until mid season now. No Francis until perhaps the last 10 games & that’s a big IF.

Guys like Clarke, Guelfi & Redman & Houlihan will be given a go if they can keep it to together and perform.

I don't even care if the two are connected, and surely they more than likely are, ....why would you play someone in an intraclub practice match who that very week, has complained of hamstring tightness.

I would genuinely like to hear the club explain this.

Really?? We’re talking Hurley here. We’re talking Hurley wrists - the fragile suspect scaphoidy things that could be his career kryptonite. I get that we need to develop Lav and times a tickin’ but there’s no way I’d trade you a Lav tendon for a Hurley wristy... or would I?...

I’m thinking more of the human element more than how important they are to the team.

Justin Crow, ladies and gentleman.

To be fair I think Crow has been pretty decent with our injuries since taking over.

Justin Crow, ladies and gentleman.

If you think of players as assets to be managed....on face value, this would get you the sack in corporate world.

 

[Dons4days]

With this happens surely Begley gets a fair crack at it

Reckon Lav was chasing Begs anyway. He's the better all round package - Lav just cuts the more impressive figure.

Strange comment considering our injury list for the last couple years!
