double negative there Joff :p

PS Ball has let the club know that he will be staying.

Oops :eek: Does that mean i think he is going?

Poor Sheeds. Ball indicating to the club he is staying and SHeeds putting all that work into trying to get everyone believe he wasn't happy at Linton St, through his Feral Scum column :D.

Who you gunna poach now Sheeds.

I hear www.lukeball.com.au is worth about $100k on the open market.

Congrats you're number 1,045,287 to have no idea about the internet issue.

We won't get him but i reckon St. Kilda will regret giving Hamill that much. He'd be lucky to be in the best 50 in the league, at least when we paid Mercs he was in the best 10.
 
He won't be going anywhere.

I would love to give him Merc's salary for next season but I can't see him at Windy Hill to be honest

We will still be paying most of Mercuri's salary next season.

And Ball coming to Essendon isn't that far fetched. His best mate is a Bomber.
But I doubt he will be going anywhere.
 
Over at Aint Ational they reckon the Dons have offered $550k a year, big money, hard to say no to if true.

I heard the Dons offered him Mercuris salary with Mercuri paid $550k to be Essendons runner.
 
Pretty obvious why he had not signed up, this sort of money is very hard to say no to (if true).

Good player, plenty of talent but aint worth $550k (YET)

I'd love him in our team but I've wanted us to start getting in on the poaching act for a few years but it just hasn't happend. Reality is we'll probably end up getting a bloke who's fallen out of favour with his current club again. Someone like Spriggs, we'll pick him up for next to nothing & he'll have a good couple of years for us. Thats whats happened in the past (Barnard, Young, Murphy, McPhee, Haynes)
 
he was still contracted for next year and they obviously came to some sort of deal or payout for next season. so in fact they are paying him some part of whatever he was getting paid for next season.

mercuri took significant paycuts the last few years so whatever we are paying him next season will be peanuts

Mercuri's contract was back loaded, so despite paycuts he was still on a significant amount of money for 2005 that the club will still have to pay out.
 
Their definitely has been an offer put forward for Ball's services next year apparently but I'd say around the 400k mark would be more closer to the figure.
