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.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
