Who would not be getting a game if Laverde was fit and won't play next year unless there are injuries. That there had been no decent midfield depth has also helped his cause and you cant agree that selecting him ahead of Hocking and Howlett and Bird has not been a good move. If you're going to get belted in the middle might as well have guys who will make scoring easy.
No point clogging up the list with players of the calibre we have been trying to get rid of.
A lot of posters continue to make snide remarks about players like Brown and Kavanagh when the reality is that they failed because we wouldn't give them opportunities.
Laverde, Francis, Langford, Ridley, Begley, Redman, Long, Mutch, Clarke and, by virtue of supposed elite pace, Morgan represents a shit load to work with in the middle, forward and in defence.
I see no reason why we should add stop gaps to a list while waiting for these guys to mature. Adding genuinely good players is another matter entirely.
