From a decent source...

[Bloben]

I hope we have good reasons for this. Otherwise we can expect a lot of shit coming our way.

 

[Helfarch]

Love to hear the reason behind the Woods not picking him up.

Restraint of Trade hearing scheduled for Monday morning perhaps.

 

[dontaskfev]

Ross lyon is talking smack now what a dog

 

[Zahki]

Ball is the real loser in all of this. Would've thought the Saints would do more to help out a player who has bled for them. No wonder he wanted to leave, pretty obvious Lyon has absolutely no respect for him

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Lyon turned down #25 and #62.

 

[Invigoration]

Lyon knocked back pick 25 and 62 for him?
What a ****ing idiot.

Not as much shit as Carlton will get going from one to no proven forwards.

 

[blackspider]

seriously, what a joke... for gods sake, I cant believe we didnt do our best to get ball. ****, im pissed off.

 

[DoubleO7]

AFL Pre-season Draft...

 

[Optimax]

ross lyon is a douche, never wanted ball to get to his choice of destination it seems

 

[Optimax]

who said we didnt pick 25 and 62 our offer was more then enough

 

[dontaskfev]

As i'm carlton man what a dog ross lyon is Luke ball bled saints and now they didnt get a deal done

 

[mdc]

It seems to me that Lyon is gambling on Ball re-signing with them now that Melbourne is the only option.

In which case this entire week has likely been nothing but posturing.

 

[DaisysHair]

Lyon said Pick 25 and 62 wouldn't get him...Seems we wouldn't give up a player to get him.

 

[Blur]

The way he talks annoys the hell out of me. Sounded like he couldn't care less about Balls wants. It's a shame that they didn't accept our offer, but we didn't lose any players, so I don't care.

 

[absy]

Anyone blaming collingwood for not getting ball can get ****ed. Lyon is a ****ing idiot.

 

[didaka]

I;d like to say I'm upset, but worse things can happen, and they did today so I don't care.

 

[smiddaz123]

"I need to know who's going to come back as committed, who's going to work as hard," Lyon said.

"If you can't do it, come and see me and I'll move you on.

"That goes for every player on the list. If you can't give the commitment shown this year, and you don't want to improve, you can go, because we've got unfinished business.

Hmmmm....

 

[PHX]

Lyon said Pick 25 and 62 wouldn't get him...Seems we wouldn't give up a player to get him.

Surely if the Saints said they wouldn't use pick 62 that Collingwood was offering in the draft you would have an expendable player better than 62 you don't really need?

 

[dontaskfev]

Ross lyon is a disrespectful **** what a dog he gives ball no playing time and now doesn't trade him

 

[smiddaz123]

If Lyon is a man of his word, he will be delisted anyhow.

what happened? Hope all is well and its not major mate

 

[Visions]

Lyon turned down #25 and #62.

That would have been a fair trade. In that case the saints can get ******. Karma will bite them back some time in the future once their premiership window is over with no wins and they look to us for a player.

Yeah that is the impression I got as well, seemed intent on stuffing Ball over.

Redirect to D-day for didaka.
