Dons chasing Luke Ball

[Linda_Lovelace]

Very strong rumour that Essendon will be throwing bags of cash at Luke Ball in a bid to entice him to Windy Hill to help fix their mid-field problems.

If not successful they will drive his price up, leaving less for the next out of contract Saint.

Sheedy's a dog.

He's trying to force the price up so he can try and snatch Dal Santo in 12 months time.

 

[Linda_Lovelace]

Take your pick, Reiwoldt, Kozi, Dal Santo all out of contract in a years time to go with Ball, McGuire and Gehrig this year. Shake the tree hard enough and some fruit may fall off.

As Sheedy said last year about Miller

but now its:


"Sheedy is ruining this competition"



how the wheel turns hey sheeds?

 

[FIGJAM]

Sheedy's a dog.

Why? If true, would he be breaking any rules??

Essendon have been a victim of the tree shaking before, although if they go breaking the bank to get Ball, it might happen all over again!!

Very strong rumour that Essendon will be throwing bags of cash at Luke Ball .

So what, there will be 14 other clubs doing the same thing. Just like Goddard, Ball will be going nowhere.

Whatever did happen with that $2 million per year sponsorship of Carlton by the world's largest financial institution?

 

[dave_04]

thank God, I'd be worried if sheeds wasnt.

 

[nonchalance]

Stating The Obvious Board.

 

[go team]

and with the pace of our midfield, we probably wont catch him!

 

[bomberbilly]

miller offered solomon 400,000 thats why sheedy had a dig.

 

[bomberbilly]

give him captaincy too sheeds! hehe

 

[Wavell]

Why is it when Essendon try and recruit a player they are accused of ruining the comp but when it happens to them it is okay.

I am still furious that we lost Hardwick, Caracella, Blumfield and Heffernan due to Salary Cap problems when we have drafted all these players in the National Draft. Just because we were able to see talent at a young age, we have suffered.

If someone can name a player of any note we have poached or recruited in the last ten years it will be a miracle.

I hope we get Ball as he is a gun.

 

[FreoRules]

No, you suffered because you paid Mecuri $500,000 a year.

 

[mustapha]

Ball is a great young player and an exciting prospect. Our selection commitee would probably play him at Bendigo every second week. Would he feel comfortable being dropped for Henneman?

 

[JeffDunne]

Any idea how Essendon are going to negotiate a deal?

They have nothing we need and Luke wouldn't last in the PSD.

Dream on.

 

[The Fireman]

hahahaha the vultures are out again, the Saints are a good side aren't they boys. Instead of everyone wanting our players why don't you all just buy Saint memberships?

 

[MarkT]

The more prices for players like Ball get forced up the more Sydney lick their lips at the moment.

History says the players are easier to get.

 

[Heisenberg_]

doesnt sheedy say he doesnt like to poach players from other clubs, thats why he is being called a dog

 

[bomberbilly]

No, you suffered because you paid Mecuri $500,000 a year.

how much you paying farmer?

 

[The Fireman]

History says the players are easier to get.

but if you really want them come follow the Saints and watch them play, that way you are assured of getting them.

 

[Joffaboy]

You are assuming that his price is being forced up. Goddard signed for less than the posion pair of MM and Eddie offered. How do I know? Because Goddard signed for the original offer the Saints put in front of him, and it is comunsurate with a 3 rd year player still finding his feet.

Ball will sign with the Saints, just like Goddard.

Hawthorn have a far better chance of getting Ball, and he and his agent have categorically stated that he doesn't want to go there and he is happy at the Saints.

 

[Bentleigh]

Any chance of Saints keeping the list together over over the next 5 years?
