SEN interview with Ladhams manager.

Nothing like a little bit of retrospect history. Ladhams and team approached the Bulldogs as well.

Player agent John Meesen on Peter Ladhams' move to Sydney (14.10.21)

Why Ladhams' departure from Port Adelaide was a "curly one," the concerns he held over the 23-year-old's future at Alberton in the short to medium term, how he intervened to get the Power and Swans to resume discussions after the deal fell over late, the role Ladhams aspires to play in red and...

St Kilda got a B for doing nothing and we got a C-

Did they just throw darts to select the score? Christ on a bike!

As i've said before , just don't read shit from these so called journo's

Swans call for pre-season draft change after Dawson defection

The wingman’s departure has left a sour taste in the mouths of Swans players and officials. They are irked by a system that could have allowed the club to lose a highly valued player for nothing and angry at the manner of his departure.

And that's a fair call out on an issue which has been bubbling along in the background for a while now. It needs to be tweaked.

Re. Fox grade..
Kinnear said last year how shit these grades are as no Journo has any idea of what the clubs plans are heading into trade period.

Article says the Swans players are pissed off at Dawson!!
Looking forward to playing / smashing the crows and Dawson next year

Judas now on AW

Judas now on AW

He thinks he has left them on good terms.
Doesn't sound like it if players are pissed?

Probs the guys he was close to in the team were fine with it but some of the others might've have been a bit pissy.

Now just Foxfooty's opinion but we got the lowest score of any team.

Hawthorn went in with a clear strategy of moving on older players for draft picks and they failed.(Fox Rating C)
Gold Coast are lauded for trading picks out for 2021 and into next year. They didn't have much choice because they cocked up their list and had too many players under contract for 2022. (rated B+)
GWS trade out Finlayson and that's their only move and get a B.
To quote Jon Ralph on St Kilda "They literally did nothing" (Dunstan left) and got rated B.

Sydney got a first rd pick for an out of contract player, with the threat of the PSD hanging over our head.

And dropped down 4 spots in the first round in an open draft and gave up a 3rd rounder for a player who hopefully can hold down the ruck position for a number of years (and can play fwd if necessary in the interim).

And decided that Hewett wasn't part of the future and a got a late 2nd round compo pick.

Losing Dawson hurts, but I think the list management team did their job well and certainly more deserving than a C-.

Beatson had better hope his salary isn't indexed to the Foxfooty ratings, then.

This is the article you're referring to I'd imagine.

AFL Draft revisited 2016-2020

Sydney’s goldmine continues to deliver. Campbell and Gulden joined a long line of credentialed Swans Academy graduates, including Blakey, who found his niche as a dashing half-back. The Swans’ exciting youngsters were a significant reason for their rise in 2021, with the aforementioned group along with the likes of McCartin, Warner, McInerney and Wicks stepping up to become senior regulars. Next season is an important one for top-five choice Stephens and Gould, the latter a renowned figure in KFC SuperCoach folklore. McDonald may be the best of the lot and is the heir apparent to Lance Franklin’s throne.

Rating: B+

He looks much better in red and white, but pleasing to see him take one of our cygnets under his wing.
