I'm sure Luke Ball's Wiki looks a lot more impressive.
No-one's disputing that. Ball's Wiki would also look a lot better than Nick Naitanui and Daniel Rich and Rhys Palmer, etc, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't jump at the chance to swap him for one of them. Bally's is mostly past tense and unlikely to get better, N Brown's is hopefully all ahead of him.
We're talking about a top 8 draft pick who plays key position and looks damn good. His twin brother (Mitch) who wasn't drafted as highly, is also getting big wraps at the Eagles, for his form at CHF this year.

Everyone's Wiki's are past tense... :?

Accolades mean nothing...whilst I think we over-rate Luke Ball on here, I also think he's not to be sneezed at, especially for a team like Collingwood who enjoy standing on the outside of a pack, waiting for the pill to spill out. On that basis, it's a reasonably equitable trade.

I agree that bally is not to be sneezed at, but neither is N Brown. How many kids do this in their first 3 games of AFL, especially at just 19, and especially ones as big as him, who usually take a lot longer to develop? :
"Brown made his debut for Collingwood in Round One of the 2008 against Fremantle at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in front of 45,000 fans. He immediately made impressions with speed and great defensive attributes against Matthew Pavlich, who is recognised as one of the best forwards in the game, holding him to only one goal. He would follow up immediately, playing on one of the competition's best players, Jonathan Brown of the Brisbane Lions, and Matthew Richardson of Richmond in the next fortnight, holding each to two and one goal(s) respectively."
That is an awesome start to his career and having seen him play in some of those games (and also in the under 18's) I'd be happy as Larry if we got him (unless something has happened in the meantime, or will happen, that will mean he doesn't live up to his potential). He was last year's "version" of Tate Pears at Essendon this year.

PS: In believing that it is an equitable trade, I am effectively stating it is bulls***...see my previous thread re: Kink, Francis, McGough, Monkhurst, etc. Rhys Shaw may have been the only half useable player ever traded by the Pies, as most ex-Collingwood players require 12 months in an iron lung to rehabilitate them from over-hype.

Paul Connors just shook his head.

Does that mean no deal or that he didn't want a Subway sandwich for lunch?

Stay tuned


Lance or James??

That was just his response when someone said: 'How about we keep this negotiation between you and me...you know... keep the media out of it...'
