I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.

I reckon he'll go PSD and on to Melb.TassieJones wrote:Best situation for us would be to trade him for a top 30 pick and hope Carlton take that for Fev (which is unlikely, but if they did jesus christ we'd have a good team)
Most likely unfortunately I see him going to Collingwood for pick 30 and some hack and that's it.
We don't need a Collingwood flog, nor a low pick.

If McLean is worth pick 11 and Lovett is worth pick 16, then I'd say Luke Ball is worthy of a pick in the early 20s. He'd have been a certain first rounder a couple of seasons ago, but his value will have dropped somewhat after this year.
Collingwood's 2nd round pick is around 30 and perhaps a little below market value for Ball. Therefore I wouldn't be surprised to see Ball go to Collingwood as part of a 3-team deal. Maybe something like Ball to Collingwood, Davis to an interstate club and a 3rd player coming to the Saints. Freo and Peake would be a possibility, but I'm not sure the Saints still covet Peake after adding the pace of Lovett.

I know it's not gonna happen, but imagine this:
Ball and 3rd rounder to Collingwood for pick 14
Goose and pick 14 to Carlton
Fev to St Kilda
Gilbert - Dawson - Baker
Gram - Fisher - Blake
Montagna - Hayes - Lovett
goddard - Riewoldt - Schneider
Milne - Fevola - Kosi
Gardiner - Dal Santo - Jones
King - X Clarke - Ray - McQualter

you cannot have fev kosi and Roo in the same foward line.Winmarvellous wrote:I know it's not gonna happen, but imagine this:

A forward line of Roo, Kosi, Fev and BJ is far too top heavy. We've got 2 quality talls in Roo and Kosi plus 3 smalls in Milne, Schneider and Mini. So we need a medium forward to compliment them, plus a younger small forward to eventually replace the aging Milne.Winmarvellous wrote:goddard - Riewoldt - Schneider
Milne - Fevola - Kosi
I can't see any sense in trading for Fevola unless we're moving Kosi out of the forward line. That means either trading him away or perhaps moving him to CHB. However with the question marks over Fevola it's a risk I wouldn't take.

That's the deal for me. A medium forward who marks well, regularly kicks goals and works hard. I'm not sure if I'd do McKinley for Ball straight up, so we'd want to get maybe a 3rd round pick as well.FortiusQuoFidelius wrote:I've said it elsewhere...

I'd be amazed if Peake is still sought by St Kilda after landing Lovett.saintsrus wrote:StNoodles wrote:^^Ball for Peake makes me sick
Sen (Ox) said at 430pm that Peake would come to us in exchange for 3rd round pick, wait confirmation
We'd be better trying to get Kennedy from Hawthorn, MacDonald from Brisbane or someone else that can either release BJ to play as a 3rd forward or be that 3rd forward.
OX is a tool... he would be reading BigFooty & sprouting posts made by 13 year olds as fact.
