It appears that many of us are very keen to secure the services of Luke Ball during the PSD.

I thought I might start a thread and see if anybody could come up with ideas that we could do to help assist the club. Maybe say with our friends at Demonlogy.

Now Please ....

1/ No Negativity

2/ If you are going to suggest an idea you must be prepared to drive the boat.

Dont say the club should do this the club should do that. I'm sure the club will do all it can.

Instead please say ... I'm prepared to do this ... I'm prepared to help here if somebody else suggests an idea you like.

Will be very interesting to see if we can get this off the ground.

Come on guys ... lets go get some Balls. ;)

Well to borrow a joke from an earlier thread and make it serious. I honestly believe if the great Ron Barrassi is up to it, get Bails to arrange a meeting with Ball, himself and Barrassi and talk about how we are on the up and the history behind us and try to get him excited about making the oldest club in the AFL powerful again. We have an exciting list and its not like Ball is at the end of his career as he is only 25. I think it could have some real benefits however NO POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS!!

Yeah thanks for that ... but I'm trying to get what ... YOU are prepared to do. NOT what you want others to do.

I know for a fact if the Tigers where sitting with pick 1 in the PSD draft they would be arranging a "grass-roots" supporter campaign to help assist their club as we speak. I could 100% guarantee it.

In fact I would be surprised if they are talking about it NOW ... I know they are assembling now at Punt Rd on their way to Cranbourne Races today, club officials, key supporters, players etc .... I wonder what will surely be a topic of conversation. :unsure:

How can we outsmart the Demons and get Luke Ball ... maybe!!!!

I'm prepared to get some shapes. Coz, I is hungry.

What I have to do?

I give my money so I can sit back and let CS, CC, TH, BP, and DB do it.

Should I give money?

Should I make a banner to be placed outside his house?

Should I offer my services for a gratitious sex act?

Should I blackmail potential recruits?

OK, I'm having a little fun. But seriously...

I give money to the club in return for a membership for myself and my young son.....

That is what I do..... That is what I will continue to do....

There is not much I can do to help convince Luke Ball to choose Melbourne as his home.... That is not my business.... If he wants to be a part of our rebuild, then he will be..... If he doesn't, then he won't be.....

End of story....

Correct. Spend any $$ on a thorough Medical examination before we get emotional.

If Luke walks around the MCG a few times he should "want" to join our club.

We don't need Plastic Crap to convince him.

You obviously haven't read a copy of "The Red Fox" have you. Our History makes St.kilda look like Crap.

We are on the rise, even if you cannot see it.

i admire your loyalty,but playing for the mfc at the moment isnt the juicy contract that you think it is, luke ball isnt looking at history, hes looking at the present.

Luke Ball's Present at St.kilda no longer exists. With Hard Work he could become an MFC Hero.

Don't Forget the Hand Brake was on for this team in 2009. We are not a bad side if we recruit well in the coming months.

I hope you were not to sad when jordan McMahon kicked that after siren goal Jurrah Coffee.....that extra win would have buggered our Future for at least 5 years.

Thanks guys ... sadly a few of you miss the point of the thread. Any chance a mod could remove the "noise" please.

This is a genuine attempt at finding a few like minded individuals who want to make a difference.

I respect if you dont want to do anything or feel you dont have to do anything or shouldn't have to do anything ... but others have the right to be prepared to do more.

If you are interested in doing more ... please contact me via PM ... or post in this thread.

You're a classic! :lol:

Ok, if you're serious, start the ball rolling with an example of what you're talking about that makes this more than just a castle-in-the-sky ideal.

I want to know what the hell you think you're talking about and what you're prepared to do, that you think will make any semblance of a difference.

Please, I implore you, enlighten me

I respect you rights 100% to say what youve said and I have no problem with your reply ... the idea behind me thread was to genuinely seek others who might be prepared to put something extra in.

Some people might and if we can band together it may just make a difference ... now please note I would never, never do anything ... without prior consultation with the right people.

I will make him Chinese food for dinner on any one Thursday night in January.

I can bake.

How about a monthly batch of chocolate brownies or blueberry muffins if he agrees to come?

I guess that the nutritionist wouldn't like him to eat those though...

You're gonna have to get back to me on this...

You're right, I have missed the point.

What the hell am I supposed to do to get Luke Ball to come to Melbourne?

Leave it to the club.

I would bring Brock McLean back one more time to escort him around the Bubbledome building site to show Luke what his future training facilities would look like ...

Just as he did with Bradshaw and Risky Telly ...

Oops ... on second thoughts ...

Got a fridge full of beer, and a couch to drink it on. Only down side is he will be playing like [censored] after drinking with me and my stupid mates!

Offer is on the table!

On a serious note, helping lead a rebuilding club and getting paid a nice contract should be incentive enough IMO.

Beers are chilling....

Let me think about it .... Does anybody know who owns this board?

I would like to discuss it with them first. ;)

Right... so you're critical of others and you ask for mods to delete the 'noise', but when it comes to suggest ideas of your own, you choose to hide behind the premise that you want to discuss it with the owners of the board first?

You don't even have to tell me what your warped idea is; I can tell you right now it all adds up to an EPIC FAIL.

Edit: I'll qualify all that by saying: If you do have an idea that is in some way worthwhile, I will be one of the first to help.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
