I agree with Plugger, Winmar and co.
He left us. He is playing for Collingwood. If he's injured that's great. Looks like a hammy to me as well and not cramp...we'll soon see but I would be suprised if he plays next week based on the vision of him going down to the rooms and being in the changing room after the game.
Ball is a traitor and if he doesn't get the opportunity to stop us from winning a flag that's just desserts for our "ex captain who is such a quality bloke". If you're not a Saint then you're an Aint and Bally can go get stuffed.
Those not wishing for injuries last night are demented in my opinion. That's all I was wishing for in the last half. It was apparent the Pies were through to the GF and if we go through and don't have to play against Swan and Didak then all the better for us.
When Didak had his arm grabbed, twisted, fell in a heap and got up gingerly I was happy...alas it was not to be.

That's right. The filth would be partying in the streets if Rooey or Hayes went down. Even their mongrel coach said on SEN that Rooey would be better off focusing on 2011 as he will not recover properly from his serious hammy injury and would risk cutting his career short. You could easily sense he was very content about the prospect of having no Rooey to worry about.Schillaci wrote:I agree with Plugger, Winmar and co.

By the way, remove Plugger66's name from your list. He is against our thinking and always jumps to Ball's defence. He might as well have followed him over to to the filth.

I hate the fact the Luke Ball seemingly bitched out and had a sook because he wasnt getting a game for St Kilda and pissed off to Collingwood for an easy ride and some money.
But any player (and I dont care who it is) deserves an opportunity to play in a Grand Final/Championship game aftter featuring for their side all year.
Sure he is an ex Saint and there is a special kind of hell reserved for them but as someone who has missed out on a version of a Grand Final due to injury it is the worse feeling on the planet. I wouldnt wish that on Luke Ball or anyone else.
Besides if we do happen to make it and beat them with him in the side that would be karma at its best
BANG BANG

I agree renegade footballer goes down good riddance. There is a little bit of extra smugness in that the fact he sold out and his dream has stalled. Not purely malicious but a little pleasure in the fact that he left us and didn't get everything on a plate.
You don't really want to hear your ex won first division the year after she walked out. That's assuming they are even getting the chocolates.

wishing an injury on any player is such poor form
irrelevant who he is and why
they are all guys who show courage and committment to an amazing game so the least we can do as supporters is respect that
you rejoicing in his injury stoop to a level lower than that of what should come from a st.kilda supporter

I like to think that I'm a reasonably good spirited person but the thought of that waste of oxygen Didak being a possible premiership player makes me sick to the core.
So if that makes me a 'bad person' for wishing him to be injured, so be it.
As for Luke Ball,
I'm a Saints fan, first/last and if him being injured helps my team win a flag, then I hope him and as many of his team mates as possible are injured.

Looked like Cramp (leg lock - NO ice).....expect him to play, and to play well......he has played well all year and is a MAJOR factor in collingwoods improvement...
Ball will always have my respect....he wore hits wearing the jumper, played injured and gave 100% as a saint.....tremendous character, humble guy and still a VG clearance player/tackler....
Not happy he left, cannot blame him though - he was undervalued and under utilised by the saints and has clearly benefitted from the move to Collingwood - initially he would have doubted it, but now he would be glad.

Don't subscribe to that BM, he was tried as a tagger, then a burst player, even as a small defensive type forward.BigMart wrote:Looked like Cramp (leg lock - NO ice).....expect him to play, and to play well......he has played well all year and is a MAJOR factor in collingwoods improvement...

With Lenny as the engine room, it wasn't a case of undervaluing him, it was a case of him not wanting to reinvent himself.
It became a case of a team fitting in his style, than his style adjusting to his team.

Dr Smooth might have a different view on the no ice. He reported on the radio ,about 20 mins after the injury that ice was taken up the race....BigMart wrote:Looked like Cramp (leg lock - NO ice).....expect him to play, and to play well......he has played well all year and is a MAJOR factor in collingwoods improvement...

It's a long time up the race and not to appear for a cramp

There is no sympathy from me here either. Can not beleive that some "so called" saints supporters have "respect" for him and wish him all the best.
That is CRAP!!!
The Guy is a TRAITOR nothing less.
He left us when there was unfinished business.
He left his mates and went to the Enemy, to HELP them defeat US.
He is now standing in the way of us winning the holy grail!!!!
He wants to HURT his former mates!!
HOW CAN ANYONE WITH HALF A BRAIN RESPECT THAT???

Hamstring cramps and hamstring strains are like azaleas and rhododendrons - basically from the same family. If a cramp is severe enough it will tear the muscle. If it was cramp, Luke Ball had it for the longest time I've ever seen on a football field. Worse (for him), it was high on the leg, necessitating the stiff legged walk. And let's face it, his hamstring could have been hanging off the bone and Malthouse would still have said that he would play next week. But, he's a goner. His face said it all.

Regardless, if he plays he will most definitely be suspect.
IMO, stick a fork in him, he's done. I don't give a flog what that lying fool of a coach says.
"Now the ball is loose, it gives St. Kilda a rough chance. Black. Good handpass. Voss. Schwarze now, the defender, can run and from a long way".....
