Laverde's 90 in a 17-point away loss to West Coast in Perth is high-quality production against the grain — clearing his 50 BE by 40 points is exactly the kind of response needed after those horror rounds of 21 and 40. Back-to-back scores of 106 and 90 put the inconsistency concern to bed. At $342k with a 90 average now, this is outstanding value for a confirmed-role defender. The watch call is done — buy him now.
