Luke Ball - is he remembered more as a Saint or Magpie?

[ChristianBoy]

YOUR TEAM St Kilda kept a fit Ball on the bench for the whole 2nd half of the 2009 GF, did you forget?

Couldn't keep up.

Oh really

How come he has a medal then while his faster buddies don't?!

The following year in the draw he spent a half on Hayes and a half on Goddard basically kept an injury depleted StKilda in it.

He manipulated his way to Collingwood.

The smart ones do.

He played whenever he was fit that year and did quite well off of limited minutes, the grand final being a perfect example of that before he was idiotically benched. Certainly played better footy than being offered a low ball contract.

He’d had 22 possessions (12 contested), 7 tackles, 7 clearances and earnt 5 free kicks from 46% playing time before being inexplicably benched for the majority of the last quarter. Would’ve probably won them that GF and won a Norm Smith had Lyon not decided it was a good idea to bench him.

No wonder it was his last game for St Kilda. Why would you stick around? He ended up making the right decision and winning a premiership the very next year.

Injury depleted? Who was missing
