Ladhams gone

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

Hate to see players with talent go. Would've been a handy crumber against WC.

Does anyone know what this "attitude problem" was? Did he not like training, drink too much, screw the bosses daughter? What exactly was it that was so terrible that they couldn't work it out?
 
No need to delist players straight away when it doesn't have to be done until after the trading period. In reality the decision to delist Ladhams was probably made a long time ago.

I think he'll play some good football for someone else. I have to admit, I am disappointed he wasn't given games late in our season. His form was great in the SANFL and we really missed a good goal kicking small forward. It wasn't our only problem in that preliminary final, but it was our most glaring deficiency.
 
a line in the australian today says richmond prepared to trade andrew krakouer for suitable exchange....would ladham be suitable? i reckon krakouer has potential to fill our missing forward crumber role...
any thoughts?

"Look Dad Jousting Sticks"
"Tell them there dreaming son"

I think that would be the response from Richmond if we approached them with a direct swap ladhams for krakouer

They wont give us anything for Ladhams but I dont mind the idea of getting Krakouer. He could be a very good pick up.

LOL :D
yeah, yr right
but i really reckon krakouer would be a welcome addition for us...
 
Not unexpected. I liked the guy and thought he had real talent. Obviously the 'other' issues was just too muich for Craigy.

My question is, was it really necessary to make it public (to other AFL clubs) that he wouldn't be offered another contract ? That makes it extremely difficult to offload him anywhere else in trade week.

Good point. Although:
- We make it public that he won't be getting a contract.
- So either another club trades for him, or he goes in the Pre Season Draft.
- But for another club to get him in the PSD, they'd have to (a) keep a space free on their list and then (b) hope another club doesn't pick him up first. Keeping a space free on your list (ie passing on a draft round, or delisting a player after the draft) just to pick up a particular player, is not a great idea unless you've got one of the first few picks in the PSD and there's no-one better you've got your eye on.
- So, end of the day, if a club wants Ladhams they'll probably trade for him. And it's not as though the other clubs won't know that Ladhams was a likely delisting anyway. We all did.

spot on, as unlikey as it is we'd get something for a guy playing sanfl all season, port have learned from saying this last yr and are keeping their cards close to their chests this yr. Its only really limiting our options by telling the world he is not wanted.

Apparently Ladhams jumped before he was pushed. He told the club he wants to look for his opportunities elsewhere. One of the news services tonight said that he has also refused to be traded.

In other words, if we do find a suitable trade for him he wouldn't accept it and would rather take his chance in the PSD.
 
Stiffy, are you sure he even wants to play AFL? It wouldn't surprise me if he didn't bother and just stayed with North.

Good, as long as he doesnt leave North, i will be happy. But listening to that last night, it defenaitly sounded like he wants to stay in Adelaide and continue playing football with the Roosters.
 
I've heard rumblings about something more serious with Ladhams, specifically a post earlier in the year expressing surprise that he wasn't immediately axed for what he had done.
Come on now, the people want to hear. Or at least I do, PM please.
