I have this gut feel that we may end up with him today - straight swap for Ball??
A lot of talk/ rumors about it on SEN... Enough people calling up and messaging in this same rumor has made them start running with it...
Wat would we think of it if it were to happen??? Personally i'm a bit indifferent - his finals form worries me
Leon Davis - ???

Heard the same thing. Kevin Bartlett seems to think there is something
in it.
It wouldn't be the worst outcome for us. i know Davis' form was very poor in the finals but if we can squeeze some different attitude out of him and
get him somewhere near his best again it would be a big +
At his best he is a very dangerous forward. he has kicked some beauties
against us.
it would put pressure on milney to perform as well.

If we get Leon, surely Schneider or Leon would play a more midfield based roll?.howlinwolf wrote:Heard the same thing. Kevin Bartlett seems to think there is something

Lovett, Leon, Milne, Schneider. Leon played in the middle and up forward this year.

Your last point would be an important one to consider for the club Mark.markp wrote:Add him to our other pick ups and we become frighteningly quick.
I'd take it, but thought he wanted to go west?
Considering his form, it would make no sense to get him if he didn't want to
come to us.

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>.

The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

I could live with that trade no worries at all.
However, I still reckon Ball has made a massive mistake though. Why, why, why??? After all the work and time and effort he's put in, and he's going where???....and for what???? Very disappointed.

When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!

Should we really be worried about getting nothing for him? At least, if Ball goes into the PSD we gain some more room in the cap for future negotiations, and by announcing he's off, he's given us a chance to replace him twice over...who would suffer if he went without an immediate gain?
Better than paying money for Davis IMO.

Davis plays for himself, a typical Collingwood show pony.SainterK wrote:Not sure...I watched the grand final replay the other week, when Brisbane won their third in a row against Collingwood. A younger Leon Davis was being highlighted for his poor finals form back then. I am not sure he can ever get better come September, as long as people are ok with that?
A downhill skier.
I would rather have Ball back.
I would prefer a stoppage player who can't ski to a downhill skier.
But if Davis is on the table Collingwood may get decent draft picks for him that they can trade for Ball.
Th problem then is can St Kilda get something with those trades before 2PM.

Leon and Lovett in the same team, will give us genuine pace forward of centre as well as scoreboard presure from the fifty arc which I think we really need. Great forward options to take the pressure of ROO and Kosi and may make Roo more dangerous as he may not be the "go-to" man every time we go forward.
Adds some unpredictability to our team.
I'd be happy with that trade.

Well we still keep picking Milne in September.OLB wrote:I don't know about this one... for a club trying to take that final step, picking up a footballer who is notoriously bad in September isn't the greatest move I wouldn't have thought.
And for that reason, I don't think it will happen.
