A Sydney Swan star has been dragged by football fans after producing the worst two-minute stretch you’ll see this season.
Peter Ladhams will be looking for the nearest cave to hide after having produced probably the worst two-minute stretch you are likely to see this season.
When Port Adelaide began to tighten control of the game against the Sydney Swans, Ladhams gave Power, his former team, two goals in two minutes.

Sam Powell-Pepper was caught napping as lifted a ball over him following a free kick, but the ball hit the bar, rebounding into the keeper’s arms.
Moments later, the old man was back in the middle of the action as he hit Ollie Wines on the deck in the middle of the ground.
A free kick was awarded and when the ball sailed inside 50 Ladhams threw a right hand into the center of Wines, resulting in a free kick down.
The ball landed at the feet of Charlie Dixon, who was completely unmarked in the box. Ladhams was immediately sent to the bench.
When footage of the incident was played, Fox Lewis’s Jordan Lewis was stunned and said the old man could expect a stay on the sidelines.
“This is just a brain explosion,” he said.
“If I’m Ladhams, I volunteer to find my way to the airport … I don’t even want to go on the same bus as John Longmire,” Jimmy Bartel told 3AW.
“Pray for Peter Ladhams when John Longmire arrives,” tweeted Age Age journalist Andrew Wu.
“Have a Ladhams vacation. It was unfortunate,” wrote Alex Fair of The Advocate.
As the fourth quarter was about to begin, Fox Footy’s commentary team looked back through the footage with Gerard Healy blowing up the big man’s actions.
“It can be an intimidating experience to play against your old team, but there’s no excuse for this nonsense,” Healy said.
“He’s had a bad day or he’d had a bad day for 10 minutes, but turning around and leaving him out of the fight for at least a week, maybe two, is a brain drain and I think that’s being generous.” .
Port Adelaide began to retreat in the third quarter and when they set foot on land, Sydney was unable to respond.
Six goals in a quarter was the difference, as Power recorded a 12.10 (82) to 8.11 (59) victory and kept their season alive.
