The AFL Trade Period is in full swing and a Port Adelaide star has met with two clubs as they look to bolster their stocks.

Welcome to our coverage of Day Three of the AFL Trade Period.

One deal was done yesterday that saw a player move clubs, with Collingwood trading pick 41 to Geelong in return for pick 55 and 22-year-old Nathan Kreuger, who has played two AFL games for the Cats.

It was a good day for the Magpies, who announced captain Scott Pendlebury had signed a two-year contract extension that will keep him at Collingwood until the end of 2023.

Port Adelaide ruckman meets with two clubs

Hawthorn and Sydney have met with Port Adelaide ruckman Peter Ladhams as both clubs look to bolster their big-man depth.

According to afl.com.au, the Hawks and the Swans both had discussions with the 23-year-old over Zoom last week after he was told to explore opportunities elsewhere during the Trade Period.

Ladhams is Port Adelaide’s backup ruckman behind Scott Lycett and has one year remaining on his contract.

Hawthorn is looking for a long-term replacement to veteran ruck duo Ben McEvoy and Jonathan Ceglar, while Sydney is hoping to recruit another ruckman to support Tom Hickey, who enjoyed a successful first season with the Swans in 2021.

Ladhams has a back-ended contract and the Power is likely to ask for significant compensation for the 202cm ruckman, which could prove a stumbling block in negotiations with Sydney and Hawthorn.

“Peter Ladhams was one we inquired about last year when we were looking for a ruckman, (but) we were able to secure Tom Hickey who has come in and been excellent, he’s had a fantastic year,” Swans general manager of football Charlie Gardiner told SEN.

“His management has reached out … I don’t think it’s progressed much further, but that’s something we’ll consider.”
