Bombers axe Laycock

He just can't get fit.

He does have ability, bit no work ethic.

I wouldn't bother.

I feel with the current changes to the interchange etc that many of these types will not be preserved with as long as they might have been previously.

They will be out there and may be ready at an older age, similar to Jamar, but rather than be on a current list more likely that they will have to plucked from a lower league.

BTW - no to Laycock.

I just want to claim that trade back from the bombers now.

We whinged about it for so long...

Nick Smith and Chris Heffernan for Jason Laycock.

We won that deal.

What a nothing trade that was...

Good pick up rpfc. Really ordinary.

I'm still suffering from having to watch Heffernan supposedly play football. Over time I will heal, I guess.

Yeah there was no winner from that one...

I bet Bomber fans are jumping for joy to see this list clogger finally get the chop. "Potential" is never a good enough reason to keep an injury prone player around the traps for year after year.

Except there might just "still" be one diamond in the rough there. And I'm not talking about Laycock.


This is the worst thread I've seen here. Ever.

Can only be beaten by someone asking if we should pick Jordan McMahon up.

What!! You mean we are not picking up Jordan???? Damn, the guys a legend!!! :wacko::wacko:

That line gets trotted out far too often around here - why respond if no interest?

rpfc's addition to this actually rounded it out well I thought.

I see your Jordan McMahon and raise you Jarad Oakley-Nicholls.

He just can't get fit.

Agree. I see ability in him and seen great games from him but his body is useless . Heard it all from bombres complaining about laycock being lazy too so i wouldn't bother. Shame really.

Better then PJ but that doesn't mean squat.

Oh I'm interested. Interested in if anyone actually thinks we should go after an unfortunately, but nonetheless definitely, crippled hack.

Ah true.

Did he keep his rookie spot at WCE?

I don't recall any "great games" from Jason Laycock. Ash might be able to fill us in otherwise. But i wouldn't hold your breath.

Took particular notice of him one game (I think it was vs Carlrape last year) and his efforts were quite comical. It was like he was trying to play football but just wasn't. Couldn't win his own ball, could not hit one target to save himself. Only effective disposal was a two metre handpass. He was playing loose down back if I remember also.

If he had improved the bumbers would have kept him down at shitty hill no doubt.

I have been sprooking him on other threads as a possible rookie- if he is deemed fit to play- could be a good backstop- he never shined at Essendon but but in glimpses to show he would be ok if he remained sound.

If, but, maybe... could'a, should'a didn't and probably wont... All speculation on your part. I rarely call players spuds, so i'll just say he's not so very good.

Anzac Day, in either 04 or 05. Should have won the Anzac medal but they gave it to Lovett.

Probably the only one though.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
