Port puts premium on Ladhams

PORT Adelaide ruckman Peter Ladhams has drawn interest from clubs including the Western Bulldogs, Geelong, Sydney and Hawthorn as the Power puts a high price on its contracted ruck-forward.

But as the Hawks assess the 23-year-old ruck forward they would need to lose 30-year-old Jon Ceglar before they ramped up their interest in the Power key position player.

Port Adelaide football boss Chris Davies said last week it would take something “significant” for the Power to lose a player contracted for 2022.

Whether Ladhams can find a new home could affect whether Port Adelaide makes a move for GWS’s Jeremy Finlayson this trade period.

Finlayson, 25, has approached the Power about a potential move.

The Power are yet to decide whether they will pursue Finlayson, who is still contracted at the Giants.
