If Luke Ball gets delisted by saints , we should try and get him or trade.Good player and is only 25 and could fill the void left by Wheels

no thanks, too expensive because saints wont delist him but even if they did we already have mclean, jones, moloney, valenti who are in and under and slow with limited kicking ability

Nup. This is rebuild time. Let the other teams worry about 25 yo cast offs and we will worry about getting kids to grow a good side a couple of years from now.

At the moment we have 50% of the list for that one. But, yeah, it's not the fit for us. If we were sitting 4th or 5th I'd say we should consider it but it's not what we need or want at the moment.

I really rate Ball, love how he plays.

Where about to dish of shane valenti and with Moloney Mclean and Jones his not for us.

Ball would be a great pick-up, but I can see the Saints only getting rid of him for something worth taking. I don't think it's worth Melbourne giving up anything huge for Luke Ball, another club maybe but certainly not us.

if we were going to deal with the saints i reckon we go for that ben mcavoy he looks too be a fair player.

St Kilda would never let him go.

King / Gardiner only have so much time left and McEvoy is a gun youngster that plays their position.

Not a chance.

Yeah knew it would be a long shot but worth a try i guess. i really dont think we nned ball though, good player but not the fit for us right now we have to many of hes type.

Jamar has been good the few weeks but is there any disgruntled ruckmen around at the moment that we could give a late pick for??

Jamie charmen perhaps? how old is he?

Who do you guys rate higher - Ball or Maclean?

I think Ball's the better player but Mclean is the better kick.

He would fit easily in our team but I wouldn't be offering the world for him.

Let's be honest though, in reality the likelihood of him coming is very very low. These things are very hard to work out and never seem to work. Our team is not in need of Ball although he would be add something to our team but not something we desperately need. He will not be coming to the Dees IMO.

Has anyone put some thought into getting Luke Ball to MFC.Not sure what the rumours are like in VIC but in SA the word seems to be that he wont be at the Saints next year.Is he contracted or could we possibly get him in the PSD.Would be a great addition to the club i think,could help the young lads out & add a bit of class.What are eveyones thoughts or info about this? Also Salopek,Boak & ebert all signed for the Powerless so we would have to trade,no chance of PSD for them.Also i dont mind Marcus Drum,is good size & played a good game on the weekend & heard he wants to head back to VIC

well... luke has something to do with it, if it hadn´t been for his son anakin wouldn´t have destroyed the sith...

but i still think anankin is the chosen one...

Just was thinking - Maclean plus pick 18 or 34 for Ball - remember Maclean won the game for us in the 06 Final against the Saints - they may view him as a fair replacement with a sweetner thrown in.. They're the same age so we're not looking any older (apart from the extra pick...).

Pearce,Kane Cornes,Ebert & Justin Westoff have all been told that they are on the table for trades & the club is after anyone thats interested in them,they have even come out & said they will add another 17 players to that list.they are pretty keen for any offers & realy want a Ruck

Do you think the Saints might just be aware of McLean in the 3 years of subsequent games he has played particularly against the Saints? <_<

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
