Ball for Melbourne in the PSD?

Featured Replies

HT, I couldn't see anyone trading for Fraser. He potentially the most over rated number 1 pick/ruckman in the league, With his dodgy knees I don't think anyone would bother with him. He will probably be on the outer at collingw**d in a couple of years if not sooner.

The Pies will either lose someone like Fraser to someone who is desperate/or wants a ruckman for a pick ie. Hawks/Port. Or they will deal Leon Davis to the West to obtain the required pick(s) to secure L.Ball.

edit: I think !

TBH I thought the SCG might suit Ball.

I agree re: Fraser, and he hasn't much footy left IMO.

Only Collingwood love fraser.. he's zilch to any other club

Astute as I am, I'd like to believe it might be earlier than six years. I just think a experienced, Hard body with pretty good skills will really add and help develop a young midfield.

You hope it is.

Ball's body is anything but hard given the lingering OP he has.

Maybe he can borrow Sylvia's back tape to help him get over it....

Looks like talks are progressing, Fraser linked to Hawks and Ball to Pies. 17 min left!


 

Fail.

Whats the outcome were are you getting the live feed from??

Lol very interesting.

Herald Sun have a live trade tracker - all over now though.....anti climax in the end.

didn't go through!

now the hard sell to convince him to come via the PSD

We shouldn't have to grovel.

If he wants to come to Melbourne, be a leader, get plenty of game time and get well paid, then he's welcomed to. Otherwise he can [censored] off to Sydney, or Richmond, or whoever else can afford him.

Disappointing that we couldn't package some of our higher picks for an earlier one, but all in all, good trade week result for Melbourne.

Heraldsun

Collingwood failed :D

This could be a massive coup for MFC

If his medical screenings are clear and he hasn't got OP

Then this will do wonders for the MFC in terms of interest

That we can lure a Grand final player to our club which finished last

I know it's unlikely but it would be incredible.

Will Ball resign with the Saints or go in the psd?

Luke Ball, number 2 pick in the 2001 national draft. Come on Dees, get him to the club.

We shouldn't have to grovel.

If he wants to come to Melbourne, be a leader, get plenty of game time and get well paid, then he's welcomed to.

that is all we need to convince him of. no need to grovel

need to show him we are going in the right direction

EDIT: just listening to ross lyon. 3yr offer no longer on the table from them. he doesn't exactly sound enthused about trying to keep him. hard to see him staying

Edited by classy dees

Ross Lyon now on SEN:

25 and 62 were offered, St Kilda wasn't going to use 62 and thought 25 was too low.

Says Ball will go away and think about his future, they most likely want him back, but he has the option of going PSD.

Their 3 year deal has been rescinded. If he wants to stay a new deal will be made.

Don't know why you guys are so keen on him. His body & groins are in worse shape than McClean's ankles.

Good times. Surely it's now either Melbourne or St. Kilda for Ball. We'd have more cap space than any other club. It wouldn't surprise me to see him patch things up with the Saints between now and the PSD though.

Will Ball resign with the Saints or go in the psd?

His manager said he will not return to St. Kilda. We will see.

I can't help wondering why they didn't play him and were happy to trade him. Could it be that his kicking is pathetic and he has lost all of his pace?

We've got money to spend, he'll cost us nothing in the way of picks, and is a good leader to have around the club.

Why the hell wouldn't be want him?

Time to pull out one of our famous Power Point presentations :D

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
