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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
