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.

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.

He does have ability, bit no work ethic.

I wouldn't bother.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
