Player Watch #19 Peter Ladhams

[Ticky009]

Can he really be called "high priced"?

Agreed, bit of a stretch.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Will be interested how he goes today.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Looks like he could be out for a few weeks.What is the latest news on Naismith?

Ruled out for 2022.

 

[Jewelsbon]

Ruled out for 2022.

Scared the bagoogalies out of me - for a minute there I thought you meant Ladhams

 

[sthmelb_dimmies]

Keep telling yourself that. Dawson will be top 3 at the Crows next year, and likely for 5+ years hence. He's a gigantic loss.

Bump

 

[mtooler]

Save our season Ladhams!

 

[Kapers]

Ain't playing unless we get 2020 level of injuries.

 

[Jewelsbon]

Ain't playing unless we get 2020 level of injuries.

Why? Isn't this is exactly why we got him?

 

[Kapers]

Why?

Should of prefaced.

If he continues to play as he did in the reserves.

I have McDonald, Sinclair, and Reid ahead of him, and to be honest I even like MacAndrew more as well.

Oh okay. I've not seen him play, either with us or in his time at Port, hopefully he'll step up.

Horse confirmed he will debut this week

Ladhams set to make club debut

Sydney Swans ruckman Peter Ladhams is set to debut this weekend when the Swans face North Melbourne at the SCG.

He had an interrupted preseason so they didn't wish to rush him back. Which is why he's been playing in the 2s - making sure he gets enough minutes into his body

Now he will kick a bag vs Norff

 

[The King!]

this guy was half asleep

 

[Wolfgang West]

this guy was half asleep

Woke up in the second half and had a had in the win Kingy thankfully

 

[Superstar swan]

He did have a better second half but his first was just about as bad as you can get. He has a lot to work on

 

[scaryness]

He was always a bit overrated by media because he could get big disposal numbers as a ruckman, but his ruckwork is poor, his disposal isn't great and he is just a serviceable presence as a forward. I don't see much difference between him and Sinclair as a player archetype other than he clearly has much more scope for improvement.

May as well consider him a prospect and not someone who can help us right now.

 

[something]

I don't know about that mate not many prospects get 27 hit outs. I was at the game yesterday as I'm sure many of you were and thought he was serviceable at least. Granted he has things to work on but hopefully Cox can get another level out of him.

What exactly would you say he needs to work on ?

 

[Punts]

His intent on the hbf was funding ordinary like Parker’s and effort

Played well last

I’m asking all the so called experts here saying he has plenty to work on what exactly he needs to work on after seeing him play one senior game ? There are plenty that have to work on effort after watching that yesterday but as for what individuals need to work on that fits with their role would love to hear from the experts,

The big takeaways I got for his improvement yesterday.

• Was physicality in the contest (was manhandled at times)
• Repeat sprints efforts (would make first attempt to tackle but not follow up) (this could be due to his limited pre-season)
• composure (Usually Ladhams is ok with ball in hand, yesterday this didn't show).

 

[SSwans2011]

I thought he was reasonably good for his first hit-out at AFL level for the year off a limited pre-season, playing as a first ruck. Didn't have high expectations this week, which probably led me to that conclusion.

We'll get a good look at him regardless over the next couple of months.

I'd be sure Cox (and probably Hickey too) will help with his ruck skills, especially the frees against Horse referred to in the presser, but I would hope the most immediate improvement will come from him settling down and feeling at home in his role, with his teammates.
We'll know soon enough.

His urgency for one. Seems to dordle around the ground. Accountability is another , there was one play that led to a north goal because ladhams for some reason was standing 30m away from Goldy. Goldy get the uncontested possessions and hits up a leading target up forward
