Disappointing.

I'll admit, I'm a Laycock basher, but it would have been good to get him up for round 1 and I was looking forward to him having to fight for his spot. I'm of the belief that all Jason needs is a little fire under him, he isn't a bad ruckman, he just needs to increase his workrate across the ground, especially his second efforts. Sadly I doubt he'll be able to improve in this area with a stress fracture in his foot.
 
Unlucky. Will be good to see how Bellchambers will progress and develop with regular senior games each week for a while. Hopefully he plays well and makes it hard for Laycock to get back into the 22 :thumbsu:

You can trust mudflap, he has very good conections within the club ;)

The rumour has not been around for weeks anyway. He had started running again and was looking ok for round 1 or 2 after recently having the pins taken out of his foot. They had been waiting for the wounds to heal before he could start running.

There was only really one rumor anyway started by someone on BB claiming he was out for the year, a week later and he was caught out.

This could be his make or break year and he couldn't even get a pre-season under his belt. Lets see what Bellchambers can do.
 
All talent/attitude questions aside, this bloke has been injury prone since he walked into the club.

He's been at the club since the '03 season and the only seasons he has managed to stay relatively injury free are '07 and '08.

2 seasons out 7. His body is not upto it. Time to move on.

he's not alone - he's probably ahead of a few others in getting on the park for some games...as frustrating as it is, its a big call to say his body is not up to it in contrast to some others.
 
6 years and he's never looked like an AFL footballer physically.

6-8 weeks missed...... by the time he gets some form and touch back he'd be lucky to play 10 games this year. In fact I'd put my house on the fact he does not play 8 games of AFL football this year.

Pretty much career gone for me.

It took him 5 years to get his body right for a sustained period and now we're back at square one again. The only other injury prone player on the list for that long for so little games comparable is Winderlich.
 
ruckmen rarely play much in their first 2 season anyway...lonergan gets a lot of praise here and he's played little more than half a season in 3 years as a midfielder who normally are up and running before tall players.

for those writing off laycock's career already didn't he sign a 2 year contract at seasons end? i don't know that he is going to make it either but see little point writing a bloke off this early in the year...far better off focusing on something positive.

Pretty much a right-off for this season with no pre-season and starting mid season.

Would think that he's gunna struggle this season, hopefully 2010 will be his breakout season.

Hopefully he will show enough in 2010 to be trade bait for the GC franchise.

They can't play with a bunch of 18 year old ruckman.

ARGH! Another injury? Oh well, Essendon is a resilient team and we will adapt.

LOL resilient? We folded like a deck of cards on many occasions last year. Teams been poor for a while now.

This is bad news. Laycock bashers should still be able to see that he is ahead of Bellchambers. This opens up an opportunity for Bellchambers though. God help us if another of our ruckmen go down.
