No. Sheedy has always liked Ladhams. Was really pizzed off when Ladhams left to go back to SA originally.

Told by the AFC his services were no longer required. Apparently essendon is interested. Sheedy must have done a HUGE backflip for him to be interested in Ladhams again

So it's official then. Hardly surprising. A talented player, with a less-than-talented brain.

Actually, from memory Stiffy, Sheedy/Essendon were quite reluctant to let Ladhams go. They had no choice in the end, due to Ladhams' 'ol "I'm homesick" routine.

EDIT: Sorry 'just maybe', you just beat me to it! :thumbsu:

According to 7 news. Essendon interested.
Will he go into the PSD, or will we get some value back for Ladhams - ie. 4th round pick or perhaps a like fringe player from the Dons.

Kane I would think he would go in PS draft and we get nothing - but its not as we had anything in the first place ;)

Meh, not fussed either way.

No big loss. We won't get much for him anyway. No point getting a pick that we aren't plannning on using.

I'm not fussed if we get nothing for him either.

Anything for Ladhams would be a bonus, considering he has no future at AFC.

True but if you trade for a draft pick, you MUST use it. So there is no point of us trading Ladhams for say 4th round pick when we are unlikely to use it. Might as well let him go for nothing :)

Good point...this kid has oodles of talent...but he needs some work on his head.

Ladhams joins the long list of could-have-beens in AFL footy.

Played 36 games in 2002/2003, averaging 16 disposals

Played 6 games in the next 2 years (none this year), averaging 8 disposals.

Essendon are welcome to him for nothing if they want.
 
Wow - we're really bitter towards Ladhams, aren't we ...

I mean, maybe he didn't rise to the levels that his talent says he should have. Maybe he blew his chance and wasted a spot on our list. Or maybe the coaching staff decided they didn't like his attitude and didn't give a chance.

Whatever it is - it's a pity for Chris.

Geez after the ********** I copped last year for saying 'good riddance' to Gary Ayres some of you are looking like real hypocrites.

I would have liked to have seen Ladhams get another go with the Crows at some stage in 2005 but it was always going to be difficult for him to force his way in. Good luck to him next year and I hope he does get picked up by another club.
 
Why would the AFC only release one player? I'm hoping liking hell they intend to delist more than just Ladhams. I know they have to delist three, so counting Stevo as the second, would mean they need to delist one more. I'm hoping they delist more than 2 though ( excluding the Stevo retirment ), otherwise it will take us at least 5 years to clear out the rubbish.

Springy, we will delist more. We always hold off until after the trade period to announce our delistings in case there is someone interested to pick up our rubbish and we get someting of value to uf for the player we plan cutting.

I expect us to announce all the delisting a day before the deadline which I think is later in october.

Like Port have told their potential delitings, the others will find out their finished after the trade week. Maybe the club intends to try and trade some of the others like Schuback or Jericho as we are their first club and they might be of value to someone. Ladhams has obviously been around for a while and the club probably realises we definately arent going to get anything for him, hence the early delisting.

I seriously doubt we will only delist a couple, after the trade week we will delist a few more to make way for the incoming talent (Pav, Shammer, Motlop, Waters, Butler, Luke Power and Shannon Grant :o ). I wish hehehe :D
