Does Balls Need A Break?

[September Action]

With MM's stated intention to rotate the older and younger players, thus keeping them fresher, longer, does he need to add Bally in too?

Watching the North game, I was in awe of how hard this guy is. He took a ton of punishment and hardly showed it. The time he got smacked in the head whilst marking (think when he got the 50), he rested his head down for barely a sec and bounced straight up (pun not intended). How did Lyon not rate him?

If I had any doubts about Ball at Collingwood, I have none now. We need this man fit and firing for the finals. Will he need to be spelled periodically to ensure he gets there intact?

yes,so will dids,swan and leon.probably in august or whenever we play richmond

not all at once though

We can rest our whole team against Richmond.

Probably get more rest if they take the field against Richmond instead of staying at home.

With Dick about to get back into action fresh Balls are a must.

Ball is hitting his best form now. He may need to be rested/managed through the season so he can be at his best come finals however not until we have some weaker teams IMO

Good to see Cheesy come in and play decently last week... gives us this option. Hopefully Ball isn't granted a rest this week, the Luke Ball Appreciation Week might just blow out to a couple of weeks...

Whenever we play Richmond i think we should rest him and give Jarryd Blair his debut

He is in good form, but I would suggest we rest him perhaps against the Eagles at Etihad a little later.
