Slyce can go

[pantskyle]

glory?

Can only imagine you expected the whole board to agree with you in regards to Lycett, why else would you then claim vitriolic responses when they didn't exist?

 

[eaglesnutcase]

He's the only bloke in the team with some real mongrel in him.

Gotta agree with you there.I dont know if he is sore or not.Since NN went down ,Lycett has been A. jumping to early and B. not following up his ruckwork.Is it because hes trying too hard to be a tap ruckman?. Mate; forget the fancy shit.Premierships aren't won by tap ruckmen; it helps; but we want GRUNT!!! Thats your value to this team.You cant underestimate the value of big bodies smashing into packs,clearing paths and intimidating people.lycett is a very handy footballer!!.Tap ruckman?? Jurys out; but to be quite honest i dont care and it dont matter.Brissie,Hawthorn and Cats got ten odd premierships between them without any star ruckmen.Just good handy footballers who dug in and gave a contest and Lycett more than meets the criteria.

I'll never forget the game against Hawthorn where he led our ruck brilliantly despite a knee that was so badly injured it was touch and go as to whether he needed a reconstruction. My respect for him went up 10 fold after that game. Has been down the last three weeks which I assume might be body related, but he has shown he is a solid lead ruck when he's on. Hopefully he show us how good during this years final series.

I find him very inconsistent, you are right, when he is on he is near best on ground, but he goes missing a fair bit in games and possibly spits the dummy? Not too sure, perhaps he is carrying a couple of niggles.

Man, the vitriol in this thread is massive! Apologies if I offended you Lycett fanbois!

I only opened the thread because of its Dr Zeus title. GO! GO! I dont care how. You can go on foot, you can go by cow. If you read this thread you might cry for hours. It might make you lose your shit and end up at the power!

Yes, if you want a pure tap ruckman, Billy Longer would be better than Lycett. But nobody wants Billy Longer...

Sounds like we are balls deep into Roughead so Id say Slyce is gone. Could be doing due diligence but I think he has 1 foot.out the door. Just hope he puts in 3 huge games and leaves with a premiership medal.

 

[run2dmax]

B. not following up his ruck work.

His follow up at the end of the Port game sad pretty good.

Man, the vitriol in this thread is massive! Apologies if I offended you Lycett fanbois! Very, very sorry that i think he is an average ruckman who has never really reached the heights people expected of him!
He is a backup ruckman at best, yet he is (apparently) looking to be a number 1 ruck at a club and is looking at 700k per year. He probably sees Sinclair going ok at the Swans and thinks "I deserve this too".
I wish i could find a forum where i can voice MY thoughts on his ability and worth to the team. I originally though that Bigfooty was such a forum, but i might be wrong?

The fanbois on this forum don't like criticism of their players. Criticism of Lycett is healthy. He doesn't warrant getting a salary commensurate with being the 'number 1' ruck at a club. Lycett is and always will be, a backup ruckman. He is just lucky WCE have decided to go two ruckmen to keep him happy. WCE even went 3 ruckman to keep Lycett and Cox happy. Lycett disgraced himself the past two weeks and showed that he can't compete with genuine rucks - he can only compete against second stringers.

Seemed to compete pretty well with Grundy a few weeks ago.

I'm sure he has a good game every now and then. But we can't label someone a spud or star off one game, we need to look at a body of work. Grundy may have had the flu that day for all we know. Over the journey, Lycett has never showed much. He has taken a few good marks, made a few good side steps, but primarily he displays a WAFL standard of ruckwork and a frequent ability to give away free kicks.
He is overrated big time on this forum.

 

[kranky al]

He was good vs Grundy.

His timing was shot against Gawn. It's like he psyched himself up for a big game and had a rush of blood that lasted all game. Jumping comically early every single time.

Didn't really notice him against Brisbane other than noticing Vardy seemed to tap to advantage more often.

Jumping early is what rucks do when they cant compete

Everyone does it to nic nat.

 

[kranky al]

I dont want to blow our salary cap for him but neither do i want to lose him.

It is what it is

Bloody hell, do you ever have anything positive to say?

How about you play the ball and not the man. This thread is about Lycett.

Lycell plays footy - your name is pat_footy

Fair bump - play on

 

[CM9000]

It doesn't mean you can just continue to shit on our players and say absolutely nothing else. It is possible to be positive about the team you support, rather then just negative 99% of the time

Solid player but replaceable not sure though Roughead is the one I'd be after would rather Preuss

 

[Ok Boomer]

More $$ for Gaff maybe if he goes.

 

[SloppyJoe]

He isn't as consistent as he should be. His best is very good but his worst is meh and happens more often than I'd like.

That said, we need him. And he's having probably his best season to date.

 

[ArdentEagle]

Given the choice between Lycett and Lobb, I'd take Lobb.
He's very up and down in the ruck currently but he does show potential. (Played a few rippers there)

We all know he's a good forward and potentially and excellent one.

 

[dave123]

Unearth someone

Might be vardy and Fraser McGinness starting next year

 

[dave123]

Tony olango hopefully improves

Fraser McGinness as a back up

Vardy ...no worse than Lycett

Get roughy

As someone else said ....hawks Geelong Richmond ....8 flags with very average ruckmen

 

[KERRPOW]

Mcinnes is a crab. Delist

 

[southcoast]

My sincerest hope IF Lycett is going as per reports is that we simply do not just roll McInnes over for another year long contract. He isn’t that good.
