Noticed Luke Ball only played 56% of the game yesterday and rarely gets over 75% of the game for the year, Is OP and his groins still an issue? Is he fine and they are just not trying to over expose what has been a fragile body?? Maybe he didn't recover enough from a 6 day break??
While he has been good this year, he can definately improve and become elite again (All-Australian 2005).
Before Round 8 TOG % Prime Movers
Montagna 81%
Dal Santo 87%
Goddard 92%
Hayes 66% (Came back from a Hammy inj in pre season)
Ray 82%
Fisher 98%
Ball 72%
It shows how significant less gametime he has excluding Hayes compared to the other prime movers. I think with extra gametime he will improve his impact on the game.
So my question is, Is Ball injured as shown by his gametime as I thought he had his first ever full preseason?? My other question is are other supporters currently happy with Lukes output or do they want more?? Im not potting Ball as I really do love him but a few years back I thought he could become a really special player of the comp. This has nothing to do with disposals but impact on the game.
Is Luke Ball injured??

actually luke ball died in a head injury on field incident 2 years ago...what you are seeing is ZOMBIE luke ball.
using witchcraft and voodoo he was resurrected and zombie luke ball was taught how to tackle so despite his lack of size and mass he feels NO pain, and can tackle semi trailers, which makes him particularly good against normal people.
by 2020 its expected 50% of the players will in fact be ZOMBIE players, one only needs to look at the Collingwood forward line and the north melbourne cheer squad to see this is progressing well.

Yeah could be, or it could be that there's not much room in the middle (you missed out Jones in the TOG stakes who I image would be 80+%)
If it is an injury it's good news, as it means there's that bit more upside come season end (and Ball is the type of bloke you could count on not going missing in finals)
btw Dan Warna your signature is perhaps the worst statement of all time

Hats off to Luke Ball on the weekend, back to form. We were struggling early especially in the centre, he wasn't put into the middle to very late in the 1st quarter. He finished with a equal game high of 10 clearances and 4 above the next saint Farren Ray. He was one of the many keys to getting us going. Keep it up Bally
