Have Geelong finally killed off Luke Ball's AFL career?
From some mates who are close to the action at Geelong (and were highly impressed by Cahill down there last week - and conveyed St Kilda's thoughts on both Cahill and Smith as not being far away at all), they now present that, having killed off Ball's career at St Kilda, they have now again showcased Ball's deficiencies and limitations putting very serious questions over his AFL future.

Thought he played reasonably well with his deficiencies.
With so many forward runners, his spread is not needed as much. He can instead drop back as an extra man, in case of turnovers.
Now, the problem there is that when he does Mark or get a free, he is still a pretty shocking kick.
Certainly won't be dropped this year, but as Blair continues to develop, I'm not sure where he will stand.

Re: Have Geelong finally killed off Luke Ball's AFL career?
What crap. LB has had his best year since 2006. Most of the filth were no good last night. That's what happens when you get ramed by nearly 100 points.To the top wrote:From some mates who are close to the action at Geelong (and were highly impressed by Cahill down there last week - and conveyed St Kilda's thoughts on both Cahill and Smith as not being far away at all), they now present that, having killed off Ball's career at St Kilda, they have now again showcased Ball's deficiencies and limitations putting very serious questions over his AFL future.
As for Cahill, I saw him in the SC last week and he is a stick. Not sure he would have the strength to be successful in the AFL.

Yep any reason to slam Ball. They must watch his output weekly, and hope for an ordinary performance so they can start a threadplugger66 wrote:Could be the craziest thread we have ever had and that is saying something. Loopy. Cahill is good after one good game and Ball is finished after one poor one. Yep that would good if you judged footy like that. Loopier.

Yes I heard he was ok - still that doesn't matter, some folks need to say he's no good, so they can feel better about themselvesMoods wrote:I was at the game - Geelong v pies and thought that Ball was their best player.MCG-Unit wrote:Yep any reason to slam Ball.
