Luke Ball in the National Draft

My understanding is that Ball, or his management have told other clubs that he will go overseas if they pick him. Risks a ban and draft-tampering allegation I believe.

My sources are good, but not primary.

Oh, and MFC will not be picking him. :)

I wonder if he would actually follow through with that if someone picked him up. Astonishingly stupid if he did.

I thought that would classify as draft tampering.

If that is true, Ball is a massive tools & he should not have the privilege to wear the Red & Blue. What a [censored] bag. :angry:

It's quite ironic that people in this thread are condemning Ball for not speaking to other clubs (he is well within his rights as per Andy D) & thus draft tampering yet they actively supported a side, which laid down for draft picks.

No...let's be fair here. For someone who went from Broadmeadows Primary to Xavier College , he's done pretty well to find his way to a coherent website.

Yep, we tanked our arses off. And our reward is 10+ years worth of Jack Trengove. Oh how life is ever so sweet.

Also the irony of you complaining about our tanking when Andy D says we are quite within our rights to "experiment".

Lucky the top end talent is good in this draft so we won't waste our tanking pick on Dale Thomas.

Have a nice day - I know I'll enjoy November 26 2009,

As usual you fudge the facts with your own bias, it is not the refusal to talk to other clubs that make it draft tampering, it is his connections putting it out there that he won,t play if he doesn,t get to the club of his choice that is the offence. Also wether we tanked or were merely experimenting , how the @#$$& would you know!

I have it on authority ( AD ) that tanking doesnt exist. Collingwood would appreciate that also no doubt. However draft tampering obviously does. Credit to Ball for wanting to choose, sympathy to him for wantig to play for Filth. I think should Ball ineed get to your lot then there will be cries of foul after the dust has settled and should he and his management be found to have committed tampering I hope the League comes down on him/them like a ton of bricks.

Looking forward to round 2 ;)

Careful bud. I made it out. Don't promote the stereotype.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
