Re: 27. Jason Laycock
Another weak performance by Laycock.
Some of his efforts are just so soft. He needs a pre-season in the gym. What good is skill if you have no guts and determination.
Dropped marks and one time chickened out ofbacking back to mak a contest.
I like him - but he needs to start showing something.

I was happy with his game yesterday. He showed a lot of poise in the backline.

Re: 27. Jason Laycock
I heard totally contradicting reports by Sen and callers after the game. I still believe he needs a rocket up the arse!!!

Re: 27. Jason Laycock
I've still got some hope for Laycock.
He seems to be trying hard at the moment. If he can play a blinder sometime soon he might find some more confidence. Hope it all clicks for him

Re: 27. Jason Laycock
Yeh, he was alright, showed some alright skills, but his courage is questionable, how soft was his dropped uncontestable mark in the last few minutes in defence, also got fended off way too easily by Pavlich when he was the last chance at saving a crucial goal, he is important but if he doesn't improve then i think its time to look elsewhere!

Re: 27. Jason Laycock
I can understand the dropped mark as he was expecting the contact from behind. As you would. I don't know how he had a chance at an uncontested mark in the 50 at a time like that.
I still have hope for him. He will never be a first ruckman but he can be a very valuable second ruck. If he can play a third of the game in the ruck and win more than half of the taps. Then play forward for the rest of the time and kick 2 goals a game, we'll have a very effective ruck duo with Hille and Laycock.

Re: 27. Jason Laycock
I can't. He should of taken that, every other defender or player we have on our list would of taken that. He might of been expecting the hit but the hit still has to come for him to struggle taking the mark.
Can't see keeping him on the list is going to improve us at all

Re: 27. Jason Laycock
Every time i watch him play i just think to myself, does this guy want to be here? He is lazy and still doesn't look fit enough. I'm getting sick of him to be honest.
He squibbed when going for a mark in defence and he didn't push himself to contests, needs to lift big time

Re: 27. Jason Laycock
WHY!! OH WHY!!!
How come you get pushed off so easily by a guy half your size?
Besides that he was good up forward (Brisbane game), I'll persist but hopefully he comes good.

Re: 27. Jason Laycock
I hope he keeps getting opportunities. He shows flashes of brilliance at times but has a lot of weaknesses. I think he might be a bit low on confidence. Once he gets more confident I think he'll be very valuable.
He's getting to the age now where he needs to get more consistent. We need him to step up for the rest of the season to prove his value. He could be a huge key to our next premiership push.
Still a potential gun imo. But could be a dud too

Re: 27. Jason Laycock
I don't like to get caught up in the emotion of a devastating loss and start bagging our players willy nilly but this bloke just gave us NOTHING today.
How many more chances is he going to get? Can only live on potential for so long in footy...needs to harden up,show some more effort and maybe perhaps chase once in a while because he just comes across as an extremely lazy footballer.

Its a well worn cliche, nearly expired with this bloke.
Ruckmen I've seen also show some spine early on.

Re: 27. Jason Laycock
Some people need to think before they start bagging people.
Chook has been injured all his career until this year, and then, when he's ready for a break out year, is held back by playing second fiddle to the dominant ruckman in the competition. It's hard to be good when you're not getting much time in the ruck. As a ruckman myself, it takes time to get into the swing of things in there each game, and by the time Chook is ready to start dominating the hit-outs, Hille's ready to come back on, and Chook goes forward.
It must be incredibly frustrating as it is, let alone having almost every man and his dog bagging him, no matter what he does.

Re: 27. Jason Laycock
I mean to the point where your timing your leaps absolutely perfectly, having got a sense of the umpire's bouncing ability, and putting yourself in the best possible position to win every tap.
Maybe it's solely because I'm not very good, but I find the first bounce the hardest, because you have no idea how high the umpire will bounce it.
It's very rare for Chook to get the two-three centre bounces (bounces around the ground, and boundary throw-ins are completely different) he needs before Hilley's back.
It's not a huge thing, but let him ruck a game without Hille before people begin to cast aspersions on his rucking ability.
And I'm talking about major injuries, not just corkies and the like. Stress fractures, mainly.

Re: 27. Jason Laycock
The worst that I saw of him yesterday were the one-handed efforts. They really shit me because it comes across as a lazy half-arsed effort. But he was far fom our worst yesterday. He wasn't the only one to miss gettable goals and IMHO his were more excusable given the pressure. What excuse does Leroy have for his first q clangers? (granted, may be too unselfish or lacked confidence).

Re: 27. Jason Laycock
