It's not Luke's trademark being referred to - it's the team's.
There's other clues:

http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/rfnews ... 78363.htmlSaints coach Ross Lyon said he was proud of his club's defensive effort, but was more satisfied that work on the way they moved the ball into attack in recent weeks had paid off.
“We've been really consistent with contested ball and defence all year, I'm really proud of that, acknowledge that, it's something we certainly hang our hat on,'' Lyon said.
“But in saying, that a real focus of our training over the last month has been to acknowledge we wanted to move the ball and spread the ball better ... over the last two weeks, including tonight, we've done that really well.''
Ball’s issues with the coaching staff centre on his ability to run and cover the ground. Ball is naturally a ball-winning inside player, but Lyon wants him to also provide run and spread from the contests.
"... You want to pose a threat to the opposition in as many ways as you can, both defensively and offensively. We've got a responsibility to explore all those possibilities - and we will."

Players assessing "Trademark".
Does that mean if you don't live up to your team mates expectations you get marked for a trade?
Probably means that St Kilda has certain playing ideals that lead to success and that those ideals are part of the team culture or trademark that distinguishes them from other teams.
You are then judged on your achieving of that culture by your team mates.
Luke Ball was then not living up to his team mates expectations of him.
Probably not running hard enough, kicking properly etc due his osteitis pubis.

Gardiner had a calf strain at training. The club immediately called it out in the media to explain his absence at selection.
There is no evidence of any kind of cloak-and-dagger culture. This is a fantasy sprung from the imaginations of forum posters with too much time on their hands.
If Ball has OP they would not be risking him in the magoos. They would be letting him "get right".

Read about osteitis pubis at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteitis_pubis
"The Australian Football League has taken some steps to reduce the incidence of osteitis pubis, in particular recommending that clubs restrict the amount of body building which young players are required to carry out, and in general reducing the physical demands on players before their bodies mature.
Ostietis Pubis if not treated early and correctly can more often than not end a sporting individuals career or give them an indefinite playing future."
Ball's osteitis pubis was never treated early or correctly.
GT required Ball to play every week despite the injury.
The be tough and courageous approach to football is not always the smartest.

None of which explains why you think Ball still suffers from the complaint, why they would play him injured, or why they would cover it up when the mountain of evidence suggests neither of the latter two behaviours are engaged in by the current administration.ace wrote:Ball's osteitis pubis was never treated early or correctly.

I reckon that it must be an eye opener for a player to get dropped by his team-mates.
You could believe you got dropped because the coach is a dill, has favourites, doesn't appreciate your contribution enough - because of a million reasons. To externalise the situation.
But when the other 21 who take the field with you tell you you're not up to standard there is nowhere to look but at yourself. Must be quite confronting.
It's become a pretty tough environment at St Kilda.

Look whatever its called its a measure ultimately to maintain a standard and improve if we can. Its fair to say injury or not Balls game has been stuck at this level - despite the odd great game - for some time.
Hes touted as elite in the Hodge/Judd mould I think the club are challenging him to become more than just crash and bash/in and under type. To be fair this is what weve needed as a club for a long time - ruthless efforts to improve.
“Yeah….nah””

Bartel similarly is an inside footballer who doesn't provide spread or run - but at least he consistently gets 30 possessions.
I don't know to what extent OP is affecting Ball's game, but if he can get back to his early career form I'm sure we'll all be happy... but can he break back into the side now - he has a lot of proving to do and is VFL the proving ground?
