Rick Ladson im a hawks man and adament that Rick Ladson is too slow, too small and too untalented to be an off the bench backpockket type player for the cellar dwellers, let alont a rotating midfielder in a premiership side. He doesnt even have youth or 'developing player' status on his side anymore. We won in spite of him and the sooner Clako realizes this the better The blokes a prime CHOP Last reply 13 Nov 2008

• hdogg:   Rick Ladson is a Champ!!!!! If you were a true hawks man u wouldn't be dropin a chop on in integral part of this years premiership side!!!! Truly how closely do u watch hawthorn matches?!?! Do u not see the countless amount of unrewarded running he does from setting up attacks from defence then pushing hard forward & being in position to be used from the attack which he started only not to be used, he has a massive engine! He has a deadly left foot thus the reason why he is one of the designated kickers! Buddy kicked the goal 2 win the final v the crows @ the dome in 07 but who was the player that treaded the eye of the needle thru several crow defenders to hit buddy lace out..LADSON! He may he what in AFL terms may be considered a light frame, however he is rarely beaten in 1 on 1 contests & can play on both small crummers or much bigger opponents. He is good @ ground level, is strong over head & very rarely makes the wrong decision under pressure! Couragous - did u not see vs west coast in 05 when he backed back with the flight of the ball knowing full well that a west coast forward would be coming flat out behind him on a hard lead & not for 1 2nd did he flinch! Since recovering from the serious arm injury suffered from that act of courage he has only missed 6 games averaging 24 possessions, been in the clubs leading tacklers, averages 3-4 inside 50s 3 goal assists been top 10 b&f twice (& 12th this year), so not too bad for someone u consider a chop! Oh did i mention who kicked the sealer in this years premiership win um ah oh gee oh yes that's right it was RICK LADSON. Clearly you don't watch hawthorn games closely enough & should be delighted with every player that delivered that clubs 10th premiership for the mighty brown & gold. Think you better go & enjoy a chop on the bbq rather than labeling "one of ur own" a chop! hdogg 13 Nov 2008
