Definitely should be a heavily weighted performance based contract. Shite performance = no cash. The position he plays is just so important. Without first quality clearance in the modern game, a team can get slaughtered. Hillie finally seems to be getting it and uses his size and taps very well. Laycock is a bigger bloke with longer and higher reach and should match most ruckmen yet he seems to have no idea and he every time he goes near it fear envelops me.

At best Laycock may be a 2nd or 3rd string player. We definitely need to be looking at guys like Neagle or Bellchambers over the next few weeks, and if no joy be scouting some promise for the draft. It is times like this that a midseason draft using preseason draft players would be useful.

Any old BUM can get a game these days for ESSENDON!

Bump.

We don't need a new thread.

Sad thing is, even if we tried to trade him, who would offer anything more than a 3rd round pick?

3rd round picks got us Houli and Reimers

I would rather Henneman as our ruckman than Jason Laycock.

Come on Ross, don't say things you can't take back.

It's not that drastic, yet.

I watched a bit of the 1996 prelim final before today's game. I know some of you here love to bag Peter Somerville, but he was a thousand times better than Laycock.

Agreed

I used to scream at Somervile but he is twice the ruckman than The Cockhead

Funny, we thought that too.

After the joke we witnessed in the first half of last nights game against Richmond, there are a few more names that I could add to my list of dislike . Luckily Laycock didnt play last night or I would have really been upset, on the other hand, the anger would have a focal point....
