We do not, Darcy is injured probably Luke Jackson rucking solo

Shake down the thunder
Sweet flogged Hickey and an under done Ladhams (despite the rubbish put out by the Club). Ladhams needs another couple of weeks in the twos before he could be promoted. Playing him on the concrete surface at Optus is a recipe for injury.

I think he played predominantly as a forward in the VFL? Probably not fit enough to run out the match as ruck

Pistol is ready to fire sayeth the grapevine. Hearing he’s very keen for a huge 2024 and prepared to do whatever it takes to make it happen. Fingers crossed for some upside in 2024.
There is this recurring joke in 'The Peanuts' comic strip where Lucy keeps assuring Charlie Brown that she wont move the ball when he is trying to kick it.

Never has a poster made such a quick name for themselves as you IMO. Such that I was eagerly reading the post waiting for the bit to happen and was left solemn that it didn’t come. Expert of setting up and then playing with expectations here.

You would think with the trading in of Grundy, the drafting of a ruckmen, He'd know that he's on his way to a 1 year contract extension at best.

Seriously if we go through all that effort to get Grundy and then Ladhams pulls his finger out.....
That would be good. Better quality back up. Succession. Higher value trade.
Imagine Ladhams puts it all together and dominates, and Grundy ends up playing VFL again... I'd feel sorry for him but **** there'd be a funny side to it to.

We are in a sweet spot with the addition of Grundy. But if he goes down it is Ladhams. Stretch or new boy Green are our alternatives. I hope Stretch has put on some muscle and intent to challenge Ladhams. Green is too green.

Stretch is looking musclier. I reckon he would be fighting with Pisty to step up if Grundy goes down.

Hope Stretch's wrist surgery heals well.
Maybe he wants to wrestle Mills for the captaincy?

Bah gawd that's Konstanty's music!
It's between him and McLean/Amarty really, Grundy walk up start. McLean with some runs on the board, and can Ladhams play forward well enough? Interesting season for him coming up, but only himself to blame for having to come from a long way back.
McLean and Amartey on exposed form are both much better forwards than Ladhams (for that matter so is Buller). Amartey was chosen as the second or third tall despite his inability to run games out. IMO Ladhams will have to play a significant number of consecutive games in VFL where he:
Demonstrates disciplined leading patterns
Marks the ball
Kicks goals
Makes significant second efforts
Brings teammates into the game
Demonstrates some team spirit
McLean does all of these and Amartey tries hard to do them and often succeeds.
Ladhams plays like a giant-sized U12.
Can get away with it as the ruck, but not as a forward. Ask Grundy.

What's a U12? I even Googled it. Still perplexed. I know what you propably mean though.
An under 12 year old player. Not as bad as Auskickers but pretty much kick and chase.
