Something to do with the fact I used to live in Perth before I headed back over to the UK for another stretch working over here
And they talk anything in O'Reilly'smostly rugby I know... but sometimes they get into Aussie Rules as well... especially if the weagles or Subi are doing well...
Hard pressed to find too decent pubs in Perth. Went to Geelong though and I can understand why it gets called sleepy hollow with pubs at the end of every street.

Then I would have to say the Jars has finally lost his marbles hang on did he have any to begin with?
Recall a game he saw commentating on the radio a few years back losing it

Blue Man maybe not pubs but plenty of small bars that are great to hang out in. Plus it depends on your age with the pub culture, but that is another thread entirely.
I've been reading Woosha is about to re-sign with the Eagles, surely not.

So do I
I'll be very sad to see Laidler go, but if it's what's best for him then I guess we'll just have to deal with it
Did you guys hear it from someone close to the club or just floating around?

We will rue the day Laidler leaves
I honestly think that we should be keeping him around for another 12 months before writing him off. At least give him this season to recover the confidence in his knee again after the horror of last year.
If he isnt going along as we all know he can be at the end of next year, then we can shuffle him off to whoever wants him.

Agree. Hopefully we are not that stupid.

He just needs a crack in the 1s.
He reads the play almost better than anyone else at the club. If Mick gives him a chance in the 1s he wont be disapointed.
Laidler can play as a 1 on 1 third tall who will come off his line to zone in front of one of the main forwards. It's his style of play.
The problem is that he has lost a yard of pace because of his knee and is still working to get it back.
Well hopefully Mick gives him a chance to prove himself once he is ready and healthy.
If he only wants one on one players then he needs to replace most of the starting 18.

someone correct me if im wrong but wasnt maxwell this sort of player under mick? to me, laidler seems as good if not better at every aspect of the game than maxwell (apart from leadership)?
As is Harry O, Fev tore him a newy in their one on one contests many a time, Heath Shaw was used like that also.
Jason Cloke was another one who thrived as the man loose in the defensive 50 early on, he almost looked serviceable when he never had an opponent.

That is a big call seeing as maxwell has been an AA. Laider was a gun in 2011 and I agree his role was similar to maxwells, but if you watch the last episode of the blue room you will see McKay stating that Watson wasn't getting a game early in the year because mick wants good 1 on 1 players. So I'm guessing he doesn't see Laider as some who would play that role.
