Apparently not a single club has expressed interest in Laverde. Will end up being steak knives or stays. Should be a good wake up call for a guy who 2 years ago was being offered 400K by St Kilda. Not worth a pittance today

Pity there wasn’t a Brian Clough type at Essendon to shake him and a few others into reality!

Can hear old Bigmouth really chewing such guys’ ears out,asking them if they’re ready for the hard stuff?!

Re-signed for one year.

I actually believe Laverde CAN play, if he can some-how get his body right and stay fit and UNinjured.

He wants to leave but we cannot get rid of him.

He needs to fix the space between his ears first. He isn't as gifted as he likes to think he is and he needs to buckle down and work his butt off.

6 seasons, 46 games, aged 24. At this rate, he'll play his 100th game in his 13th season, aged 30.

The constant 2 games, miss the next 10 through injury, come back to play a couple more gives me the shits. All we ever see is an occasional good grab mixed in the a rare goal or two and that is it.

Amazing transformation.

Rutten genius.

He looks to have played tough thru some solid bumps all season. Impressive so far for someone so previously fragile.

One of the stories of 2021 without question. Kudos to all involved - mainly Laverde himself who has taken on this new role with right attitude and determination

He’d be up there with one of the most improved players this year. Perhaps Parish might get the award, but I think Laverde has had a more meteoric rise.

Along with Stewart.

I'm struggling with Stewart at FB. He's done OK, but also found wanting at times. And it was a mystery to me why they put him there when his last few games last year at FF, after return from injury, he looked really good. But like everything else this year I'm not saying too much because it's a big transitional season. Next year will tell us a lot more.

Poppy Stewart has been good. He has had some challenging moments, but considering it’s his first season at a new gig, he’s done exceptionally well. He’ll deffo be better for the experience, and I’m tipping he’ll be a much better player next year.
