There's a picture of Ladhams included in the training photo gallery from yesterday, suggesting he's not under COVID protocols but just hasn't been selected.
Maybe they're keen to develop his ruck craft and thus want to give him a run of full games in the VFL as the number one ruckman.Comment

Does the VFL team have a game this weekend? Probably another practice game against the GWS equivalent.There's a picture of Ladhams included in the training photo gallery from yesterday, suggesting he's not under COVID protocols but just hasn't been selected.

VFL starts 25 March. We play Footscray
And we've even seen him play on-ball and not look out of place.I won't be surprised if Reid is sub, particularly if it's a dry night. He offers some versatility and cover against loss of a tall."Fortunately, this is the internet, so knowing nothing is no obstacle to having an opinion!." Beerman 18-07-2017Comment

Did you end up sorting this out IF?
I struggled at first as it doesn't exactly advise you to type your membership barcode number/s into the empty box, ie not very intuitive.
Also it was becoming progressively difficult to find multiple seats adjacent to each other for this game.
Like Ugg says use the most recent barcode numbers, the 2022 versions.
You may have struck different issues to me though but good luck.It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

Yes, I was stunned by this as he had only played limited minutes at AFL level in the preseason games. But it is a good balanced side. the other thing is McLean getsthe nod over Ladhams. I think Ladhams is being asked to clean up some of his game. Namely his hitouts to advantage. even though he got more hitouts against GWS than McLean got against Norf, his hitouts to advantage were less. He too often put the ball down the throats of GWs mids. The other reason could be that he is still getting used to our system. I like McLean, he gives you everything he's got.Sheldrick to debut!

My best friend watched a training session in the pre-season and thought that Ladhams looked off the pace.Yes, I was stunned by this as he had only played limited minutes at AFL level in the preseason games.

He’s proved to be very astute with his analysis.
Port are seriously beating us in the trading game. We give them Allir and he transforms into an All Australian. Port trade Ladhams for some trade currency and he ends up behind McLean and playing in the reserves.Comment

yeah all sorted thanks snajikDid you end up sorting this out IF?

Was a bit complicated because I didn’t have my swans membership login , I’ve changed my address and I didn’t update my membership details so I didn’t have much of a trail to work with. I followed Ugg’s advice and got the barcodes from the membership portal.He ate more cheese, than time allowedComment

I think you are jumping a bit early Bangalore. Ladhams has decent upside so let’s give him a bit of time, shall we?My best friend watched a training session in the pre-season and thought that Ladhams looked off the pace.

Defenders primarily need to defend and stop their opponents scoring. The points you make about their attacking prowess are relevant....but not if they're leaking goals. It will be interesting to see how it pans out.Not great that Lloyds out, but one of my pet ideas has a chance of being trialled this week.
I’ve wanted since late last year to see J-Mac, Campbell and Blakey in the same backline. I refer to that combination as the three headed warrior. The combination of speed, dare, elite kicking skills and constant run out of defence would petrify any opposition. The counter attacking potential as unparalleled.
Lloyd and Cunningham’s positions in the backline have stopped the three header warrior from breaking free.
Now with Lloyd out and Cunningham having a spell the three headed warrior could be unleashed this weekend.
It’s a bit like having Usman Khawaja opening the batting for Australia. Most cricket supporters could see that Usman should be in the 11. It just needed some circumstances to fall into place for the selectors to make it happen.

Another McLean fan here too. I think I described him last year as someone who looked extremely coachable, and would go out of his way to play his role. He’ll never be a superstar, but successful clubs have players like him at the edges of their best 22.Yes, I was stunned by this as he had only played limited minutes at AFL level in the preseason games. But it is a good balanced side. the other thing is McLean getsthe nod over Ladhams. I think Ladhams is being asked to clean up some of his game.
