Ball's Presentation


H_T

Recommended Posts

I'm currently sitting in the Qantas Club in LA.

My flight to New York is boarding in 10 mins.

I am happy to put my card down at ANY bar, hotel lounge or club in NYC and buy Ball and all of his wingmen booze all night if he's willing to be heard on why the MFC should be his club of choice for 2010 and beyond.

Anyone know where he's staying in NYC? Even just the zone.

This is how it should go...

Luke Ball, about 10pm on a friday night, has gone for a walk with another St Kilda team mate, to get a slice of pizza. They are walking through Times Square, when James McDonald, Aaron Davey and Dean Bailey suddenly appear.

"Luke, theres something we would like you to watch" James says

Suddenly, one of the HUGE screens that cover the buildings in Times Square goes blank, and the famous you-tube video that everyone loves gets played

Luke says yes, everyone is happy!

Haha! I love it!

Cmon Dees, do whatever you can to sign him up! (through the PSD that is).

As I mentioned in another thread I find it interesting and disconcerting for us that Balls manager told us to stay away and give him space yet St Kilda's list manager is in NYC as we speak.

i think he's only going to look at melbourne come 3am in the morning when all good looking chicks have gone home and you start looking at the ugly girls for a quick bit of action :lol:

St Kilda's list manager may be in NY but that doesn't mean he's speaking to Ball.

In fact, Ball might be quite annoyed by attempts to contact him against his wishes whilst he is away trying to have a break from all things football.

If Drain pushes too hard to see him it may backfire.

And I think considering how it has played out, regardless of what occurs in NY, Ball will come back prepared to sit down with MFC and give them a chance to show him what the club is all about.

When are we likely to have an idea of his intentions, would he have to be delisted by Saint Kilda by the 31st October or are there still more list lodgement dates after that?

Perhaps as early as later this week. :)

The article linked by DD is pleasing in really only one aspect and that is the tack that CC has gone with - basically what a few of us have already intimated - it's St Kilda or Melbourne.

Re-sign or come to the place that you know you can get to - the Demons.

Good luck to the boys next week.

I hear Carlton has decided to go after Ball. Maybe Icke and co are continuing their 'we wish we were Melbourne FC' project, as they want as many Melbourne players as possible. This time going one better to recruit Dees players before they even make it to the club.

God I hate Carlton....

I just can't see it happening.

There's such a long list of players rejecting us. My money would be on Ball staying at the Saints.

Unfortunately agree...

I really wish it wasnt the case...

The wheel will turn though once we have the young group getting some momentum - we will become a far more attractive proposition to players wanting to move.

The thread has been renamed. Job's done.

Now for some reasons: -

1/ Join an exciting club on the up.

2/ Leadership opportunities

3/ $$$$

4/ New facilities

5/ Be part of a quality midfield consisting of Scully, Trengove, Grimes, Jones, Moloney, Davey and much, much more...

6/ But wait, there's more...! ;)

Deep down, I had hoped that I had the tact to not point out you should have said 'the tack that CC has gone with'.

Brown paper bags sitting at the end of the table during the presentation!

Some clubs would fill it with chocolate cakes ... others would fill it with ;)

Its times like this you need a Dick Pratt type ... but then again you cant keep drinking out the same "waterwell" time after time.

    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.
