Take that, free agency. I think it's good for the competition that Luke Ball got to where he wanted to go.

You Didn't want him a Month a go Old x !!!

We got the guy we would have taken at #30, who is an upgrade of Dayne Beams as well.

Ball with his speed and disposal skills will complement Fraser's work beautifully. LOL 500K$ great value.

These two players alone are typical of the future of Collingwood! LOL

Fraser is actually a superstar of the competition and Ball is of the same class! LOL

Old X;

Rest peacefully in the knowledge that Collingwood's recruitment is 1st class ,

they will easily reap a premiership again in 2010 ,

that they will have the most members,

and the best facilities,

and the best staff and management,

and that we all love to hate them,

and that Mick and Bucks will work nicely together,

also that we are all jealous of them,

as well as them being the richest of all AFL clubs. Yada,yada,yada.

We know it all off by heart now. Broken record stuff.

Oh, and that coaching scenario, what a farce!

A few li'l cracks appearing around your club. Good luck!

So you got your man-now let's see if he is worth 500k's Old X

(which is the exact question you would be asking if he came to melbourne)..........

I just can't believe he fell to 30. It's wrong. I'm happy we didn't pick him up, but still.

Look forward to watching him fail at C'wood.

He already appears to be used to unsuccessful finals campaigns, Collingwood seems like the place to be. Would be even funnier if St Kilda win the flag next year.

I watched his highlights, he can run up a hill - seems impressive, we missed the boat

I was suprised, i thought we would take 3 kids & Ball as the experienced player, but it didn't happen

& i said many weeks ago that i would fully trust the footy Dept, Tim Harrington & BP & that's what i will do, as we all should.

What goes up.........must go to Collingwood!

Premadona got his way. End of story. The free agency debate will loose some steam.
