Love how cocky people get about kids that have never played a game of AFL football.
Under 18 hype doesn't always translate to AFL footy. I'm a Richmond supporter, I should know.

I'm assuming you're talking about Laverde, did you see him at the champs this year? Has some nous, although those are the only games of him I've seen.

But still, forgive us if we over-celebrate the little things after the last couple of years. :P

It's all good, Corey Ellis can spread the love over in Tiger land - Essendon supporter as a kid. :)

They obviously wanted Langford defiantly, I trust dodoro. They can plug just about any gap besides the ruck.

Laverde seems to be like David Myers from what I've seen of him.

i might have been thinking of someone else, if he turns out like Bontempelli I'd be happy

looks a little more agile than myers, also can play as a third tall

Anyone else getting confused between the two, as in I can't remember which one I read certain things about. Who booted back to back 5 goal hauls, which one has the massive tank, which one scored really good in the agility test, which one is the really versetile one, they're both versatile?

I think Laverde scored high in agility and came second in the kicking test/score

Really good picks, Laverde looks a bit of a freak! Stole a couple imo! Nice work

Wrong way around, Langford is the one who got the stand-out combine results. :P
Laverde is not really like Myers either, mind you who knows what he'll be in the AFL.

Laverde was the one that said he watched Fyfe play and tried to copy it I think

Looking at the highlights package and all the hype surrounding this fellow Laverde, bombers have got themselves a good'un there @20. Us blues supporters are dazed and confused at our recruiting processes to say the least. Hope he doesn't rub it in our faces too much. :'(

Laverde has been training with Hooker for like last 8 weeks i just find it interesting that Hird didn't even know like why wouldn't Hooker tell the club about Laverde and give them info on him etc

it was in the video of Laverde meeting Hird just after being drafted

maybe he did know but didn't want to admit it as it might be seen as training with the club i dunno
