Re: 27. Jason Laycock
I agree mate.
He has missed a lot of football and this season has at least been getting regular games.
He has a long way to go but he has certainly shown that he can be a quality ruckman if he keeps improving.
He is sensational below his knees, rare for ruckman, competant at tap outs, a very good mark and a noted goal kicker.
He needs to work on his fitness and mobility but that will come with fitness and experience and at 22 years of age he should keep improving and become a very very good player for us for the next decade.

Re: 27. Jason Laycock
It was obvious on the weekend that we did much better when he was in the ruck.
A big pre season and he could solve a glaring weakness next year.

Re: 27. Jason Laycock
At the start of the year I would have happily shown him the door, but he is starting to be more consistent now, and I agree, once he becomes fitter it'll help solve a few of our rucking issues.

Re: 27. Jason Laycock
He is a very handy player, but I don't think he will be anything special so I don't rate him very highly. But is a very handy backup ruckman and can easily fill in the 1st ruckman spot

Re: 27. Jason Laycock
I didn't have much faith in him at the start of the year and was wondering whether we would ever see results from him. I think he is a very good talent and i think that come next year, he will be our #1 ruckman, a bit bulkier and fitter, and i just think he will be awsum next year. I love what iv'e seen from him and will play a huge part in the clearance work in the future, i think he will be much, much more than handy.

Needs to spend more time in the ruck. When he was, the team played much better. Just needs to gain some more bulk.

He made up that nickname, I thought I made it up. Ah, I knew it was too smart for me to have made it up

Re: 27. Jason Laycock
No I am not referring to him making up the nickname. I am referring to him saying Laycock needs more bulk.

Re: 27. Jason Laycock
his last month has been very good
it was laycock going into the ruck that started our run in the first quarter on saturday.
with a full pre-season he will be as good as hamish mcintosh if not better next year imo

Re: 27. Jason Laycock
Laycock will develop into a great ruckman given time. I'd like to see him take over the number one ruckman spot and David Hille go down to the forward line.

Re: 27. Jason Laycock
I really question whether or not he can be a good ruckman. I'd actually prefer it to be Hille in the ruck with Laycock as a Forward. Lets not forget thought that Ryder will eventually play in the ruck aswell, so when that happens, one of Laycock or Hille will have to be out of the team IMO.

Re: 27. Jason Laycock
I'm not so sure about that.
I believe that Ryder might actually develop into a top line CHB and be the instant replacement for Fletcher.
Of course he could still pinch hit in the ruck.

Re: 27. Jason Laycock
I just love the way he is going about his footy now, the penny may have dropped that time waits for knowone to fulfill potential. Would love to see the duo of Laycock and Hille rucking and changing in the forward pocket as i think we can really stretch the pies thinned out defence.

Re: 27. Jason Laycock
After watching Saturdays game you can really say that. When he was in the ruck was when we played our best footy.
People have been way too impatient in judging this bloke. He still has more to do and areas he needs to improve a lot in but not many ruckman under 24 really make a lot of imapct.

Luckily I was on a flight back from Bangkok when the match was played, so I can still stick to my previous assumptions until I see different.

Re: 27. Jason Laycock
laycock has one good game every 3 weeks, then we all get excited, including me, and say that he is looking very good.
he has to do it bloody consistently. it's starting to piss me off as i he has been given so many chances
