Laverde returned 77 in GWS's 49-point road win over Melbourne at Traeger Park — 20 above his 57 BE in a genuine contest the Giants controlled comfortably. That's three consecutive above-BE scores of 106, 90, and 77 since the horror run of 21 and 40, with cash gen now solidly positive at +$1,318/wk. Averaging 90 at $386k with a locked role in a surging GWS side, he's one of the best value differentials in defence. The R10 buy verdict was the right call and nothing has changed — the buy window remains open. Add him if you need a DEF value play.
