[Suma Magic]

First rounder or he stays.

The lesson here is, don’t believe anything your club says during the trade period. It’s just posturing and taking it literally only sets you up for disappointment.

 

[theyellowsash]

So much for the Swans no DH policy

was that ever w thing? they did recruit morton, hanneberry, mumford, hall and rohan. and im sure more, ronke looks like a knob

 

[Tippett2Goal]

Still don't see the point in us getting him, but at least we didn't overpay

 

[WillHayward]

Port have Lycett, Hayes, Dixon, Marshall, Georgiadis.

Is Ladhams even getting a game?

stupid demands considering they kicked him out the door. any port fan who thought thats what theyd get is a lunatic

 

[philthy05]

Pushovers? You literally got Allir who was an AA defender this year for Pick 31 last year. You've barely ever had to pay full price for any of your incoming players, and have got top price for outgoing players.

You did get reamed on this deal though

we didn’t get that cause we strong armed Sydney

Sydney had cap problems and had to let him go.

 

[Jack Richards]

Port have Lycett, Hayes, Dixon, Marshall, Georgiadis.

Is Ladhams even getting a game?

Yes. He got quite a few this year ahead of Hayes.

 

[philthy05]

Port have Lycett, Hayes, Dixon, Marshall, Georgiadis.

Is Ladhams even getting a game?

He played 17 games this year.

 

[Northernsoul74]

It's what happens when you tell a contracted player to look elsewhere. Guaranteed to tank their value

Yep despite a couple of Port fans being in denial all trade period they clearly shopped him and pushed him out. This has been a lesson in how not to trade.

 

[WillHayward]

He played 17 games this year.

But Georgiadis and Hayes could go past him.

 

[philthy05]

Ports always been upfront and don’t lie though..
they’ve just been pushovers at the trade table and that yet again led them to getting pushed over. Surprise.

 

[philthy05]

But Georgiadis and Hayes could go past him.

Georgiades isn’t a ruck.
And Ladhams played 17 games this year versus Hayes 0.
Hayes could well overtake him, but that might take some time as Hayes is younger and coming back from a aclZ

you seem to have less than zero idea of our list and players so I’m unsure why you’re making statements.

 

[Bardo State]

McEvoy - 1st and a player (savage)

Ryder - 1st and a 2nd

Clark - pick 12

longer - pick 25

hickey - pick 13

renouf - 33

Mumford - 28

Ladhams is contracted and only 23. He’s shown near to or more than a lot of those players had at the same age.

rucks have only become more scarce and more necessary since a lot of those trades.

Any thoughts on why this didn't happen?

 

[raffrox]

They just gave Ladhams away in the end. Surely that's not the best that they could have got.

 

[Northernsoul74]

You’re still in denial. You’ve believed the club PR all trade period about holding out for a first and being happy to keep him. It’s blatantly obvious Port wanted Ladhams out and were always going to trade him for whatever they could get. They were never going to keep him despite what they said publicly.

 

[Vhaluus]

For all the bitching about the Crows being infair....

Port have just bent Sydney over 2 years in a row.

Well your own list manager was happy to see Ladhams go.

And Ladhams spent a lot of time fwd. Hence he is competing with Marshall and Georgiadis to some extent.

It's obvious your club rates Hayes.

Can you please explain how or are you being sarcastic?

 

[Vhaluus]

Ladhams will be delisted in a few years when his contract expires.

There's a reason Port were pushing him out the door.

[Orange Agent]

Does he walk into the Swans side? Im not sure he does.

 

[Bearded Clam]

They got what he was worth.. he was never worth anywhere near a first rounder on its own.

and, more importantly for them, they freed up a list spot and $400k in the salary cap… one of their past greats in Tredrea alluded today on AA that port have some salary cap issues.. if true, and you’d think he’d get some decent intel… this helps them.

 

[adogsfan5]

Seems a decent deal for the swans.. getting pick 16 as well. Unless I’m missing something… just not sure the swans needed him. Where’s mcdonald and McLean gonna fit in?

 

[WillHayward]

Does he walk into the Swans side? Im not sure he does.

Yeah he does. But that's not saying much.
We have Hickey (31) and that's all.

Blokes like Reid (31), Sinclair (32) and McLean have been getting games. So we are pretty thin in this department...
