Obviously nobody wanted Maguire...
As for Ball, the best Collingwood could offer was pick 25, had it been pick 21 we would have done the deal... simple as that.
The club has handled it self fantastically IMO, sure we have lost a few good players but we weren't bullied by the bigger boys, it is a sign of strength and the players we lost are expendable...

No-one wanted Goose and no-one wanted to pay market value for Luke. Could have been handled better? By whom?
In the Ball case I see it as a short term loss but a much greater gain in the medium to longer term for St Kilda !!

Yes, lets just hope he doesn't get to Collingwood because the backlash from the 'hindsight police' (pie supporters) will be unbearable.Eastern wrote:No-one wanted Goose and no-one wanted to pay market value for Luke. Cooukd have been handled better? By whom?

Can you show us the source where the Saints were offered anything for Goose during Trade Week?gosainters66 wrote:bombers wanted MM
Absolutely nothing discussed on here or in the press about a possible trade and any offer.
Lance or James??

The club handled it very well, the only problem is we will never hear the end of it if he ends up at eddiewood

I don't know where people get this pick 25 (not 26) from. Collingwood's first pick is #30. I don't go for the story that Collingwood were going to trade with Nth Melb for it. THEY DIDN'T, therefore they DIDN'T HAVE IT TO TRADE WITH !!

if you want a source you might as well not be on this forum because most of every thing we talk about is heard via the media , realistically its only hear say , so if you want facts ring the club and see if they tell you every thing that happens in trade week , i dont think you will get very far

Correct, and whats not mentioned in the whining from the filth is that they tries to get pick 26 from north but again could not come up with a deal. Seems to happen to them more than other clubsEastern wrote:I don't know where people get this pick 25 (not 26) from. Collingwood's first pick is #30.

However I'm pretty sure it went like this.
St Kilda tell collingwood they will trade Ball for a pick that can secure them Everitt.
Collingwood offer Wellingham and pick 30 for 21 to North
North decline, offer pick 25 (or 26) in return
Collingwood run this past St Kilda, they say no.

I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

Because St Kilda were dealing in "Good Faith" with the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs said #21 for Everett, nothing less. #25 or #26 was never going to get that deal done so NO DEAL. Collingwood knew that !!Armoooo wrote:I'm not sure if it was supposed to be pick 25 or 26.Stillwaiting wrote:Correct, and whats not mentioned in the whining from the filth is that they tries to get pick 26 from north but again could not come up with a deal.

Lyon said this after in his press conference. Thanked Essendon and Freo for dealing in good faith, to me that was aimed at eddiewoods inability to deal with other clubs reasonably.

when they are head to head watch armo rough him up all game...have a look at the hawks game with armo and hodge..i love the fact that he doesn't take s*** from anyone and get stuck into everyone....Moccha wrote:It will be interesting to see Armitage go head to head with Ball. I think he'll acquit himself very well. They're about the same speed, as hard although Armo is a longer kick and can kick a goal which was Balls major issue.

The only one who'll have "nothing to show" at the end of his career will be Ball. It's such a ridiculous waste going to the Tigers! Unbelievable!! ![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
I could almost understand Collingwood (almost), but certainly not Melbourne or the Tigers.

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