Luke Ball

[lewdogs]

Watching him dominate for Collingwood in his 150th...

I have to be honest, it hurts. It hurts a lot.

 

[Rough_Edges]

Good in and under but still a horrible kick, nothing has changed.

Wouldn't improve our side, there was no spot for him.

What pisses me off the most is that they only had to use pick 30 to get him too.

Pick #30 isn't indicative - he was demanding a big annual salary in a multiyear contract. Few other clubs could afford him, and those that could were not given the courtesy of a meeting. Collingwood had it rigged all in their favour.

 

[Murraj1966]

Nope, no sympathy nor regrets. I don't miss him, and we didn't need him. He's still a poor mans Lenny.

 

[CHBench]

50% efficiency, with 12 of his disposals by hand. Yeah, nah.
$500k well spent.

Would've been nice to keep him, along with X and Goose, but we can't afford to keep a player who put money ahead of loyalty. Especially now.

Thats what pisses me off. They knew that and then used that in thier favour. Even though we couldnt have him I would have liked it to cost em at least a first round pick.

He's looking impressive at the moment along with all the other Collingwood frontrunners like Didak, Davis, Thomas etc. When the going got tough against us a few weeks ago he went missing, along with most of his teammates.

Will be interesting to see how they go against Geelong next week. I'm guessing they will be a lot tougher than Freo.

He didn't go missing.. he was in their bests... but his mates at collingwood did.

Spot on brother. Went to kick it backwards before half time last night, missed the target by 15m and Freo got a goal.

 

[mysainters]

I've seen enough from Armitage to be satisfied we can cover his loss, think he has done a good job thus far, and was sorely missed against Carlton.

Dominate?

You are easily pleased.
Played a useful game and faded after the first quarter. Once fatigue kicks in his effectiveness reduces markedly.

Irrespective he turned his back on the Saints. So his choice.

 

[Defacto]

I thought obree, cloke and shaw won the game for them when it counted. Freo looked tired.

Freo lost it, Cloke on McPhee was atrocious and the amount of times there'd be a loose player in the Freo defense was laughable.

 

[SAINTsincebirth]

who is luke ball, i sort of remember some guy who use to play for us, doesn't matter anymore.

 

[ChrisFooty]

Luke Ball would not solve St.kilda's current poor form or lack of goal scoring options. Not worth 500k, simple as that folks.

 

[sainter]

Surely this issue has been done to death by now?

We've all had our say during the off-season. It's time to concentrate on our own players.
