The veteran was playing his first game back from another hamstring but didn’t get through the first quarter before being struck down by the possible career-ending injury.
It was another big VFL return from Peter Ladhams, the ruckman gathering 27 disposals, 27 hitouts, nine clearances and one goal, but no matter what numbers he racks up it is hard to find a place in the seniors considering Brodie Grundy’s current form.
Small forward Jesse Dattoli kicked three goals from 15 disposals, with Jevan Phillipou (11 touches) also slotting three majors.
Billy Cootee was busy with 28 disposals including six clearances and one goal, and Ned Bowman also got plenty of the ball with 20 touches.
