Ladson is a very good player and was stiff to miss out on Pioneers selection last year, hopefully he can make the squad this year. Symonds is still a kid, he has some talent but he is still a kid and he didn't influence senior games like Ladson did. Ladson polled 9 votes (the second most for Macorna) in the senior B&F count which shows that he was a standout even in the umpires mind. For you not to think that Ladson was not the standout junior in the league means you have no idea about footy or your a bitter Ultima guy (Kyle perhaps) that can't accept being beaten by a better man. And I think Ladson would make an impact in what ever league he chooses to play.
Nicely done mate. The kid obviously has talent to burn. If he had played with a Major League club, he would have enjoyed a couple of Pio's game this year I would imagine. Development squads mean squat. Hell... I'm in the Conrad Ivers development squad. That man is Moultown! Please don't take that to heart Moulanese. I have seen what Conrad has done for the club. Magnificent servant!
