So much for those taking him in a heartbeat.At 28 with 10+ years and 200+ games his body is finished.
At best he was a wonderful inside mid but was slow as treacle.
Given our lack of outside class and pace, Ball is not what we needed as a footballer ATM.
And if Roos was not going to extend an offer to Ryan OKeeffe then he certainly wouldn't to Ball.
And FWIW, draft tampering or not Ball made the right decision to pick Collingwood. Played in a flag and had he gone to MFC in the PSD he would have been trampled as the only legit inside midfielder with Jones.
