Laverde

I currently have him at F7 but he was pretty shower on the weekend so I was just wondering everyone's thoughts on him! Will he play a super coach friendly role? Will he even play if Essedon get a full team up?

Don't consider him unless Essendon players are rubbed out for 5+ weeks

+1

And why would you have him in the forwards when there are so many better options?

Gray, Martin, Swan, Salem, Clark, Hogan (Lambert, _____)

Salem, Hogan, Clark and Lambert are probably the only rookies, that to our knowledge, will have a great chance of playing round 1 and so on. Other rookies are those fringes players. I currently have Karnezis. Hope a Karnezis or Steele can play early

Or any other fwd rookie! Like anyone! :P

Lamb will play early for the eagles i'd suspect.

Laverde will not be best 22 early in the season in a scenario where our best 22 is available IMO.

Lamb should get games with Darling out and McGovern now forced back. He might even hold a spot when Darling is back as he brings a different dimension to the forward line with his skill set.

I was thinking about the Bombers 22 and with Winderlich and Chappy around this year Laverde will probably be a vest candidate if he gets a game. Guys like both Merrett's, Cooney and even Zaha/Goddard can play that HF/mid role. Then you have Colyer and someone like Melksham (who I don't rate) that can sort of play there as well. Kommer is the interesting one if he finally gets fit. He was in the 22 before his injury as a pressure forward he was really good. He might be a good downgrade target mid year
