Laird

[quinny88]

Should i trade him in? is he a top 8 defender?

I Have
Shaw, Doch, Rance, Adams, Tipp, Lonergan, Brown, Tucker

Looking at upgrading Lonergan

He's easily top 8.

Wouldn't say easily but he is the 8th highest averaging defender at the moment.
Good price so definitely worth getting him in. I'm gonna wait a week though to see how he goes

I'm not usually one to complain about scoring, but gee it seemed like Champion Data gave Rory Laird a raw deal today.

30 touches, 5 contested at 83%, 8 marks, 1 clearance, 2 inside 50's, 0 frees against and only 2 clangers for 96 AF and a measly 74 SC.

Heath Shaw tons up regularly on these stats so what is the deal? I can't recall Champion Data making an error this bad and its probably cost his owners around 25 points.

Doesn't make sense. Waited 4 flowering weeks for Laird to come back only for CD to royally screw him over.  >:( >:(

More handballs than kicks, very few contested touches and very few tackles to pad out the numbers.

Also more than half the adelaide team probably did more than him so his 'influence' on the game may have seemed less..

Haha come on... I love how people try and justify every score as if Champion Data is immune to making errors. He was given just over 2 points for every touch and that isn't even factoring in his marks.

They stuffed up.

[_wato]

Don't listen to any of those responses. He got shafted.

If name was Heath Shaw, 120 game easy.

If we're judging a game on 'influence', then no Saints player should've scored over 50...

Amen to that.
Obviously the CD folk didn't hold him and traded him out. Royally flowered him over today.

[sammy123]

laird got shafted big time. was at least a 100 point game for him

[Torpedo10]

This really does make him a juicy upgrade target next week, doesn't it?

No stay away.  :P

Keep in mind SC really does hate handballing.

That's why Priddis will never be a 120+ player. He is a Contested Beast, Efficiency is relatively good and is a strong mark. He doesn't kick anywhere near enough.

I think Laird deserved a 95, probably not much more than that though.
