Thanks again, Rossy... pick #30 really was value at the 2009 National Draft.



Liked this in the HUN today too, by Jon Anderson:

"That the Saints ultimately refused to try and persuade Wellingham to shift clubs remains one of the silliest decisions in modern football"

As good as Maxy is in that regard, Bally is our spiritual leader. I got this information 2nd hand last night but after the Geelong game, a group of players were disussing their end of season trip to Las Vegas. Ball got up & was fuming & told those individuals to focus in at the task at hand. Apparently you could hear a pin drop when he spoke.

He's a warrior & he is finally free of that dreaded O.P. I haven't had a football jersey since #42 on the old Mini Skips top & have decided not to ever wear it again or another number as it's my own homage to Pants, who is my favorite player of alltime. Rowdy nearly did it but Bally is the closest player I've had a respect of to Pants.

I haven't had a number on my jumper since I was 8, but deadset, I am ridiculously tempted to get the number 12 put on. He's my favourite Pies player, just love the way he goes about his footy.

He's a boss.

Strange as it is, he's now clearly in the top 5 kicks at the club, is probably the best contested mark for his size we've had since (?) and is still as hard as ever.

I fancy he's got 2nd place in the Copeland sewn up, just a few votes behind SP.

My mancrush for Luke Ball has just elevated to a level that cannot be described!!!! Thank you again again Ross Lyon!!!
My sentiments exactly. Already loved him, but love him so much more now.

Best pick-up from another club since Clement, and just ahead of Leigh BRown.

This, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this and this...


But Atheist et al, please make Bally are 'boof-free' zone for about a week or so. He needs his rest at the moment.

Is it too late to give him number 17?

Anyone who kicks the winner in 2 finals to see us through to a GF goes down in Collingwood folklore. even if that didn't happen, how can you not admire Luke Ball? How can a club not appreciate that bloke?
