Rumour Laycock delisted...

[MachoRandySavage]

Just had my kid at Windy Hill for a swim, and was talking to a really old dude, who reckons he is a friend of Jason Laycock, has been since he was a kid, and that Jason told him last week he has been delisted already??? Anyone able to confirm or deny? Shame if true. Seemed like he could have been anything at one stage.

Thanks for the heads up.
It's pretty much inevitable. As is the likelihood He will be kept on our Rookie list. I strongly doubt anyone else will want him, too much of a risk...

Hopefully we retain him as a Rookie.

 

[MachoRandySavage]

he was drunk at the time apparently (Laycock) and said he'd already been sacked. If they were going rookie him, surely they would keep him on the list until seasons end and then rookie him? that way he rehabs at the club etc??

Put him on the rookie list, we could do much worse.

You don't need to be "in the know" to make a preditction on Laycock being delisted at the end of the year.

Given that Jason grew up in Tasmania, I find it a bit of a co-incidence that the old guy who knew him in Tassie since he has been a kid also moved to the Essendon area.

It's hard to say we'll miss him too much if he goes.
But it's still sad to see as he had so much bad luck.

Exactly my thoughts, while I do think it's inevitable his delisting.

I can hear our true supporter Stander popping some champagne corks.

He was told a couple of weeks ago.

Well why didn't you share that piece of knowledge with the supporters ?

If Sheedy had traded him to Carlton when they were desperate for a ruckman back in 2006, fate may not have dealt him such a savage blow.

Why do the supporters need to know the second the man himself finds out?

Hopeful we retain him as a rookie, since Bellchambers is still developing and Bock's a mile off.

Laycock to the Suns?

At least he'll be walking the boundary line and doing handball drills in a nice warm climate.

Who's popping corks now ?

Or we could do what Port did by rookie listing Cloke if a similar ruckman gets delisted. Seeing as Laycock's so injury prone.

yeah, good call whomb...............not! the guy has given us nothing for 5 years. the sooner he's de listed the better. good to see dyson in the two's, thats where he belongs!

 

[AndyLesPaul]

We'll trade him to GWS for one of those specialised picks and draft Joe Daniher

Shouldn't Laycock be rehabbing at the club until the end of his contract.

Out of curiosity, how many sources have you got at Essendon?

1.. 2.. 3.. 4... 13.. 14.. 15.. 16.. 28.. 29.. 30.. 47.. 48.. 49..


Um, I think he is still counting

 

[stay true]

Well thuts shet.

This is what I take out of this. We all knew he'd be delisted at the end of the year. I would've thought that rookie listing him would've been a consideration, however certainly not if they've given him his marching orders already, whilst he should be hitting the rehab.

Even if they weren't considering rookie listing him, which they obviously aren't, I would've thought they'd do him the courtesy of giving him access to the staff and facilities until the end of the year.

Essendon would be organising/paying for his rehab. If they are delisting him either party may have wished to do it ouside of the club but it is Essendon's responsibility.
