Did he? Didn't play many games.

Personally I think Jack Steven is a better prospect.

Well he did get dropped after a 13 tackle game. I think he's definitely shown something.

Forget it Daisy won't come to the saints collingwood wouldn't do that trade.
Besides they need him as their mascot.

This is purely a monetary decision IMO. It has absolutely nothing to do with game time. Luke Ball and his manager have decided that Collingwood will offer him more money than the Saints. In any case we should just play hardball now and get the deal we want. He's walked out on us - we are under no o...

Pick 14! That's it! If they don't like it flower off and we'll deal with someone else. We then trade pick 16 and a player (Goose, L. Fisher, whoever) to Carlton for Fev. Ball was on $600k per year, Carlton have said they'll pay some of Fev's salary if the deal's right, should be able to fit him und...

No way
besides he'd probably get scared of Goddard

Exactly. If collingwood aren't willing to offer us a fair deal we'll deal with other clubs. Ball's out of contract this means he has to sign off on any trade, so that makes it a bit more of a problem. Personally I'd rather see him goto the PSD than get screwed over by Collingwood. If he was in cont...

Harry O for Ball? All day 24/7. Release either BJ or Fisher to the fwd 50. Armo becomes #2 in and under mid. Problems solved IMO. Medhurst = damaged goods IMO. Dissapointed with Luke's decision. Hopefully it's not the money, coz he has to realise he's worth much less these days... especially in a s...

Rusling/Wood + 2nd round pick.

Sh.t, I hope we can do better than that !

Yeah if they offer that i'd hope we walk and see what other clubs offer.

I'd be pretty happy with that deal only thing is like AE said we have to convince Burgoyne. Assuming they offer that what player would we want to rescue from collingwood?

After the West Coast game i think?

Was just thinking of starting a similar thread. Armo showed this year what he can do. Next year will be his big year. Go Armo!!!

I hope we don't get Peake. He is one of those players that the fans want delisted during the year saying they'll be lucky to get anything. Then when another club is interested in trade week suddenly he's worth a 3rd round pick Wouldnt be worried about it to much, not many of their fans or ours will...

Damn it sucks that he wants to leave. And since he's going to collingwood now i have to hate him

he said that? What a flog. How many grand finals has he played in anyway

& unlike Riewoldt & the big dud Kosi, Josh has actually stood up in a GF.

Yeah but unlike Fraser, Roo is not a hack.

Armo. He showed what he is capable of this year. We should stick him in the middle and give him so good experience.

How did he go at towards the end of the season? Looking at the stats he looked to have a poor season but he did have several injuries.

I agree about lynch. I would be shocked to see any of our young players traded. As for our first rounder i wouldn't be surprised to see it traded considering the quality of players on offer during the coming week.

Congrats to roo on a well deserved 5th award.

congrats roo

May be it's 4? Joey's average around 25-26 would be about right for a score out of 40?

Yeah that makes sense. Unless the coaches are very tough markers

5 coaches - Lyon, sos, Tudor, Elshaug and?
