There was a definite shift with Ladham's attitude though he was physically Dan Stewart-esque at times last year whether it was in ruck or marking contests up forward.

Is part of Ladhams deal a rookie list upgrade? You’d think so surely
He's been on the rookie list 3 years so to keep him a 4th year on the rookie he has to go back in the draft and get re drafted (see Cam Hewett as an example). So we will officially upgrade him at the end of the season.Is part of Ladhams deal a rookie list upgrade? You’d think so surely
Yep forgot about that rule.He's been on the rookie list 3 years so to keep him a 4th year he has to go back in the draft and get re drafted. So we will officially upgrade him at the end of the season.
In mid 2017 we re-signed Houston for 2 years. As 2017 was his 2nd year on the rookie list, we kept him on the rookie list for 2018 ( to keep $80k of his base payment outside the cap) officially upgraded him at end of 2018 season and then in late November 2018 gave him a 3 year extension covering 2020-21-22.
He moved out of home and in with Billy Frampton after the end of last year. Wonder if Chris Davies or whoever deals closely with him at the club told him to do it to show more commitment. He says it was the best move he has made, to not depend on his folks to do everything for him.Interesting that Ladhams admitted this. “I didn’t really play well in the SANFL last year and they could’ve easily moved me on, but they showed faith and gave me an extra year."
Macca why not trade Billy or is that out of Port's hands?Amon will sign on.
Billy will get delisted.
Farrell i have my doubts, i reckon he might sneak a move back to victoria. I really hope not though.
If Frampton is delisted it will be because he doesn’t have the right temperament for the trade, which adversely affects him at AFL level where a key forward doesn’t get as many clean looks as SANFL level.
He’s hot headed and you can’t build your team around a player like that. Personally I’d delist him with the view to picking him up as a rookie.
As for Marshall and Ladhams, it was never in doubt. Unlike supporters, players know exactly where they stand and why they aren’t getting games. This team will make room for players who are performing.
You mean old Port Adelaide aggression? Or are we only the community friendly side not worried about winning premierships or playing footy now?
Aggression is fine when it’s channeled into winning games. Can’t help the side win when you’re sitting in the stands because you’ve been suspended.
I don't really understand the idea that some people have that because we have player x, that we don't need player y.
We should be aiming to keep Frampton and Hayes too. Can't have too much quality on your list.
We have a maximum average height - unfortunately all of these guys push the average up.
