Ball's Choice Collingwood or Essendon

Featured Replies

I reckon your asking for the impossible there

If Ball is draft tampering - then Eddie and his mates from Broady and Xavier are in it up to their armpits

What are your Carey boys going to do to Eddie then?

Luke Ball doesn't want to play for the Ds, no one else wants Mitch Thorp because he is naughty and the Ds don't want him anyway. Melbourne will redraft Meeson and Newton, McDonald is the pick in the PSD -other than that I'm sure you can fill up the spots with whoever you want subject to availablity given you power within the club.

 

I don't get why Ball is so frequently discussed and why the media have such a huge thing for him, he is famous for being "that other guy" in the top 3 of the draft with Judd and Hodge.

Why should Ball be any different to any other player with or without AFL experience if he enters the ND?

B/C there are different rules for players with AFL experience set by the AFL.

hes actually right :unsure: <_< damn


There was a post a few pages back that I just saw now that made me chuckle.

This Collingwood fan came on here and tried to have a go at us for our GF record. Lol - I assume he is not aware that we have beaten them in 6 out of 7 Grand Finals.

Or that their GF record since 1936 looks like this:

WINS: 3 - 1953, 1958 and 1990 (Yes that's right, 3)

LOSSES: 16. Yes, that's right, 16. 16. 3 wins and 16 losses. By God, I think I hate Carlton more than the Pies because Collingwood makes me laugh so often.

Further points of humour include: Melbourne smacking the Pies by over 70 points in a GF and Collingwood kicking two (2) goals in a GF against us for a total of 4 scoring shots against our 22.

yes 1960 was a great afternoons work. It was on youtube. 8-12 to 2-2-14 i think was the score

since 1936 16 losses in GF's!! Beautiful symetry. :lol:

Thanks 45.

WINS: 3 - 1953, 1958 and 1990 (Yes that's right, 3)

Why do people use certain dates to judge the amount of flags you've won?

Since 1902, Collingwood have won 14 flags, Melbourne 10. Wow!

Since the AFL was created, Melbourne are yet to win a flag :lol:

I like this one; speaks volumes....

Grand Finals: Melbourne v Collingwood.

Melbourne lead 6-1.

Collingwood also give me much joy with the old "who kicked 5 goals in the 1990 grand final?"

Of course you play with statistics, that's what they're there for.

Don't forget 16-4 in finals HT - and that's since 1897. Oh, 12 minus 1 is 11, not 10. Difficult arithmetic I know.

Having a laugh - and a laught is never a waste of time.

I hope that helps you sleep at night. All I know is I've physically seen my club win a flag in the flesh, you haven't.

I hope those stats can fill the void of the fact that you have never seen your club win a flag.

Your problem is that like us you follow the football closely. Because of this you know how good we're about to become and how ordinary and desperate your club is already looking. Oh, I'm sure someone has already thanked you, but thanks again for Liam Jurrah. He'll be the icing on the cake when the oldest football club in the world zips past you. The look in Eddie's and Buck's eyes when the lynch mob arrives will be priceless. :lol::lol:

I've actually seen my club win two 1960 and 1964.

Bucks may have had a chance to coach a side to a flag if he had thrown his hat in to the ring when our job came up. Instead he decided to wait until the Collingwood position became vacant.

I hope he has much success as he did as a player when he left Brisbane to play in a flag winning side at Collingwood. Ooops!

Interesting Thought as to where the Filth will Finish next year, considering the Budget they throw around.

This years Prelim result will Hurt them...6-8 I am Tipping.

Demons should Aim for 8th spot.

Out of every quote, and stat, I've laid against your club - you've chosen this one to have a go at me over, the only one that is actually in favour of your club!!!

:lol::lol::lol: Please, please stick around.

I can not believe the crap that is said on this site. Get the hell over it you wankers. Collingwood are an honest team that is well coached. I would love to see the melbourne football department get as much out of our boys as they do. I cant stand the crap that old x has to say but smarten up people. The pies are good.

You're right. They're good but not great enough to win a flag any time soon. On the other hand, we've been mediocre but are building a side from the ground up that will one day be great.

I'd like to know whether TOX is keen for his team to pick up Ball. The Pies need to improve in some aspects, but I thought their midfield was pretty good. Surely Ball would be only a marginal improvement at best, and he may even deprive them of pace & delivery-quality. Who would he push out - Pendlebury? Thomas? It might be interesting if Ball does get through to 30.

I'm over the whole Ball situation. Hine will take Josh Thomas at #30 if Ball is gone, like Beams last year, who finished 3rd in the RS overall after getting drafted at #29. He has been on our radar for some time & fits in with the club's strategy of targeting kids from the GC in a period of comprimized picks.

If we do get Ball, our midfield with the addition of Jolly will own.

Again, don't change tack from knowing that you haven't seen your club win a flag. I'm sure watching a news reel of your club's last flag doesn't play on your mind.

I personally love how Collingwood invokes a feeling amongst rival clubs in that they hate us more than they love their own club! Your sig is living proof!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
