Bally used to be Joel Selwood - head down, ass up. The game at Skilled a few years, when he had 14 odd tackles (Garry Lyon fair dinkum had it out of his trousers on 9 that day), 35 touches and kicked 3, was his peak.
Now what is he? A bloke who gets hard ball for bursts.
The reason he didn't get more ground time was his TANK. He could not run out exchanges, and took ages to recover when taken off.
The fellas in charge of this football club do NOT play favourites.
Luke Ball said himself late in the year he knew what the problem was - him.
Grant Thomas stuffed him (hittin' his tit in Sydney when the kid was almost killed - what was that?).
Seems to me Bally is done in the skull. Bright kid, no judgement. Maybe, if he had a talk to Wally Lovett's little brother, Andrew, and discussed how you come to a footy club on the edge for shitloads less than you could get elsewhere, because you want to succeed, and that's what's important, we'd all be better off.
Alternatively, maybe Bally's first 2 years of part time Law Studies have turned him into a preeminent legal wanker, of the type we all know and love (NOT).
Summary - he either comes back to us, humbly, or his career is over. Funny, eh?

Why is that. They have 4 months to get them to play as a team and their list is much better than this year.Schillaci wrote:I'm amazed at the turnover of Brisbane's list.
Outs: Bradshaw, Dalziel (WCE), MacDonald, Henderson (Carl), Notting (retired), Hooper, Roe, Clouston, King, Tyler, Harding + 5 rookies...
IMO they're making up the numbers next year. Will be lucky to make finals. Even with Fev/ Brown

Just a feeling. We're talking about a huge proportion of their list as being new. Is 4 months enough?plugger66 wrote:Why is that. They have 4 months to get them to play as a team and their list is much better than this year.Schillaci wrote:I'm amazed at the turnover of Brisbane's list.

I put them behind Saints, Cats, Dogs, Crows and Pies.
Fighting with Dons, Hawks, Port... for the lower places in the 8.
I realize they've got experience in...Staker, Buchanan, X, Raines...headlined by Fev.
It's going to be interesting.

Andrew Lovett is not, nor ever will be, in a position to offer Luke Ball advice, on anything, ever.

If Ball had good advice from the likes of Lovett he would not have done what he did.
Unfortunately he took rotten advice from Paul Connors, Mum, Malthouse and Ego Eddy.

Eddie has the be the dumbest **** to be a multi-millionaire.
he makes promises to everyone he can't keep.
fevola, ball, nick stevens, even shane crawford no wonder no one fuking likes the ass-hole
makes big promises to the players and then expects the clubs to fall over and give him what he wants for nothing.
Nick Stevens went to Carlton because Eddie made big promises to stevens and then offered Port SFA for him, expecting them to fall over.
he did the same thing to crawf a few years ago but the hawks legends talking him to staying (and winning a premiership in his last year).
you just got to wonder how fuking stupid is eddie? if he wasn't kerry packers ass cleaner he'd be in the gutter where he belongs.

And if you really believe that Eddie made his money by sucking up to Kerry Packer your delusioned. Who made the footy show what it was? Eddie's idea and now every channel has been trying to copy it or better it for 17 years. I don't like the footy show but I admire what Ed has done for footy.
Did sucking up to Packer assist Eddie dragging the pies out of the poor bin and making them the most powerful financial club in the league. I would have thought that is at least one criteria of a pres - making them financially sound.
You may not like Eddie - fair enough, but your reasons are bizarre to say the least. He is NOT dumb or stupid, possibly arrogant. If Eddie had been our pres for 10 years I guarantee we would love him.

Michael Voss clearly wants big game players, in his two finals Rhan Hooper had 9 touches, 4 tackles and 1 goal... deplorable effort...matrixcutter wrote:brisbane got rid of Hooper?

Brisbane's trading this off-season can most closely be compared to the trades that the computer does in AFL Premiership 2006 on the PS2.
You simply don't move one in every four players on your list out in one year. You take opportunities to get some youth in when the time is right (like St Kilda last year), and otherwise pick your spots.
There will never be a Brisbane line-up with X Clarke, Raines, Buchanon, Staker & Fevola all in the side together.

Because four of them are not automatic best 22 players.
It would be like saying Robert Neill, Rod Keogh, Jason Traianidis and Brad Campbell will all play in the same side for St Kilda during 1997. They're marginal players (and I loved, and still do love, Rod Keogh).
Also, Raines, Staker and X Clarke all have poor injury records.
I just think you pick your points. We went out and got Lovett, who is best-22, and Peake as our reclaimation project.
Voss went out and got four reclaimation projects, who arguably all have bigger question marks than Peake, whom I'm no massive wrap for.
