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...

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

    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
