OMFG - I hate this.....

[Sainter_Dad]

Luke Ball in the post game interview "'They' have had the wood over 'us' for the past couple of years - so it was important to give a good showing"

Luke Ball - P!SS OFF

[BigMart]

Good luck to him.....possibly appreciated for his abilities there.....they will reap the reward

[saintDal]

How many years has he been there

[Sainterman]

Good luck to him.....possibly appreciated for his abilities there.....they will reap the reward

Go follow them and reap the rewards with them.

To be bleeting on losing Ball still, really, get a life.

Tool.

not necessary mate......bigmart was only stating the bleeding obvious.....

[Verdun66]

We've won more in terms of player development than we've lost under RL. Luke was a loss...he and Ross didn't get on for whatever reason. It happens.
Life. But he's turned plenty into good players for us.

[st_Trav_ofWA]

Ball is a collingwood player so he inherits that team and their history .....

as for appriciating him i would think giving him a spot in the g/f was a sign of appriciation i would also think the bucket loads of $ we gave him for the 10 possessions a gamewas a sign of appriciation ...

shame he didnt play as well for us as he did for them today heck he even kicked the ball over 30 meters !!

[Griggsy]

Wouldn't read into it that much. The team was probably reminded of this stat a lot during the week so it just sank in and he repeated it.

[saintbrat]

Interestinglt he would not enter the' now that you feel loved/wanted' question- actually thought his interview was down beat- said the expected/.

[SainterK]

I don't understand wishing Luke well when he wants to play for Collingwood, wants to beat St Kilda, wants to beat his St Kilda opponent one on one, wants to be a part of an opposing premiership contender.

It's nearly 12 months on now, I find these threads quite strange TBH.

I don't dislike him or anything, but he is contributor to a team that beat us today?

Collingwood can reap the reward....seriously, what's that about BM?

That's not like you, SainterK. BM was just wishing him good luck.

We reap the rewards from Gardiner, King, Ray, Schneider, Dawson, Dempster etc.

And it's topical today.

I asked BM a question, I have not attacked him personally, the worst I have said is that I find these threads quite strange?

I didn't say you did attack him. I have my opinion like you and I think BM was just stating where Luke is now. I don't find the thread strange because we played them today.

I just find BigMart's sentiment on here tonight quite negative, his only positive comment seemed to concern an ex Saints player. It's his right of course, but I feel perfectly comfortable asking him to elaborate, and I am sure he wouldn't mind me doing so....

What is not like SainterK? Trying to be positive about our team instead of starting and contributing numerous negative posts that slam our football club?

She finds the thread quite strange. So do I. If Sainterk had come in to every 2nd thread tonight slamming our team then THAT would have been strange.

Big Mart has been painful at best over the last 12 hours. Wish he would crawl back under his rock to be perfectly honest. We lost a game of football that no one is happy about. To whinge and bleat in every thread is quite over the top. To 'smack' SainterK on the hand for defending her club is ridiculous. Would you prefer if we all stood back and let the usual 'suspects' bag our club without retaliation? Not going to happen. The majority of us are NOT 'fair weather' supporters.

[saintsRrising]

Like Ball............

The main area that we lacked in was in our poor disposal skills (though we were down on team play etc..).....now you may have been asleep for the last several years but one Luke Ball has dreadful disposal. He would not have helped us in this regard one iota...

Not needed or required by the Saints and if he had stayed would have remained the fringe player...

[fingers]

F**k me this is tiresome. Ball wanted to leave. He went. Can we move on?

[Skildir]

Take Julia's advice: Move Forward.

[Beej]

How good was that mark he took backing back with the flight though? Bastard must've backpedalled close to 10 metres.

They don't deserve him.

In the two games against us he's been brilliant as if trying to prove a point.

Enjoyed watching his battle with Lenny Hayes, albeit with a tinge of sadness. Two tougher, more competitive footballers you will not find.

[Wrote for Luck]

What rots me a little is that Ball took all our secrets and whispered them into the Liars ear.
'Here's your cheque, now tell me everything.'
Not strange at all how their forward pressure is much improved this year.
I wouldn't expect Ball to not whore it all out, but it still rots me.

[Beej]

Using a thread title that gives one an indication of what's inside would be helpful... not essential tho... each to his own. Possibly some ppl would be expecting more excitement in a OMFG thread than what delivered.

The thing that most surprised me was a father (SainterDad) using the phrase "OMFG" on the internet.

Times, they are a changin'

[borderbarry]

I am sure Sainter Dad meant "Oh My Flaming Gosh".

[OneEyedSainter77]

I am sure Sainter Dad meant "Oh My Flaming Gosh".

I reckn he was trying to say "Oi, my fruit's gone!"
