Watch Ball going to Pies get more media than Scully at number 1.

[Spaghetti 264]

Not that much of an issue. It is a pretty big story...

Watch us winning a premiership get more media attention than them finishing 6th

How much did we milk the whole Ball saga over the last few months? Let them eat cake.

It is a Huge Story Ball at Pick 30 gets to the Pies at 500K.

At this stage Tom Scully has done Nothing. His time will come....

[SuzDee 13]

If Brock was worth Pick 11, a done deal in trade week, how big does pick 30 (ie avoided by teams with 29 picks BEFORE pick 30) really rate? Sounds like Ball's a deal that we'll be very glad we passed on

[Little Goffy 12,991]

On a side note, as will have been mentioned by now in the draft event thread. The two key reasons we kept talking about Ball were

1. to see if we could fox another club into picking differently based on the belief that we were taking Ball at 18.

And reason two... this is golden -

2. To get as many opportunities as possible to talk about how we have a fantastic list of young midfielders (i.e. 'Ball would be useful to help develop our fantastic group of young midfielders') I think this explains why it was starting to feel to me like we were talking about him as an assistant coach, he was never thought of as a player for us!

I hope the Pies get value out of Ball. Because he comes at a price $$$. I hope the Pies can look after his OP too.

Wouldn't want to push him too hard in Arizona.

It's all hope at this stage.

What are #1 picks?

[Guest ted bundy]

dissapointing to see LB sooky little head blocking the HANKOOK sign on the front page of the SUN.

[Trisul 654]

Oh, slightly OT but I had to chuckle looking at the HUN sports confidential today where they noted the Luke ..... Tapscott call. Strange thing was they said it was Port Adelaides pick. Bizarre really.

[Guest The Old Xaverian]

Ball is an AA, a former captain, a B&F winner & was one of St. Kilda's best players in the GF, Scully on the other hand could be the next Jack Watts.

I thought you didn't want Ball [censored].

[45HG 1,539]

We don't need the press - there'll be enough press when we start doing our thing.

We should just carry on and be happy we haven't used our picks on a Josh Fraser or a Dale Thomas

Wrong again. Scully is the next Jack Watts, in that he is the next number 1 pick. Now we have 2 from 2, whilst you have a slow Saints reject who, although 25 has the groins of a 45 year old distance runner. Take your pick, I know who I'd pick, and so does my club.

[Kiss of Death 708]

Speaking of the media.. anybody enjoy that little snippet in the Hun about how Port Adelaide (wrong) caused drama with a pause calling out "Luke" (correct) with their 18th pick (they had 18 picks?) when they selected Luke Tapshott (wrong)?

So many errors, so little time.

Also laughed when they spoke of how tough.. i think it was Cunnington was? Said it stemmed from his father because he had tatts? Hopeless.

Now that is not what you said six weeks ago Old X is it....I remember these things. Now Back to your Cave.

I was over the whole situation. As I said 6 weeks ago, I wouldn't mind if we got Taylor or Josh Thomas at #30 (instead of Ball), who is this years Dayne Beams. We got him & Ball, win/win.

What a beautiful photo.
