Absolutely spot on TTT. I have the DVD of that game and he was towelled up by Joel Selwood. It was the beginning of the end of him at St Kilda.To the top wrote:In regards Ball, in 2009 he could not get a regular game with St Kilda on form - hence he was playing mainly in the VFL after being shown up as a liability in the Geelong game at Docklands where his only contribution was to come off the interchange unmarked and then putting the ball into the goal square for Gardiner to mark.
His papers were marked prior to and then because of that game.
He was confirmed as a liability.

The better players shine through in games like that in r13 2009 and Luke Ball was shown to be so far behind anyone remotely A grade.BigMart wrote:1. Is he the only player to be towelled up by selwood....a dual AA
2. Did he really play 'mainly in the vfl' i will have to check, hang on....
17 games in the afl
Averges
20 poss.
6 tackles
5 clearances
2 games in the vfl
Not really 'mainly'
Good luck to him though, such is the quality of the woods' outsiders all he has to do is shovel the ball into anything resembling space and away they go. He found a team where they needed a niche player and he now has a flag. If we decided to match whatever he wanted he would be a Saint still but that is the way it goes.

but he is a niche player because that is his go? the contested ball and getting it out? so therefore that is his niche?BigMart wrote:Qwhat a crock of s***....niche player
Is he the only player who wins clearances at collingwood....
Forgot about
Swan and pendlebury.....two of the leading contested ball clearance players in the afl....and thomas is up tjere two
We have lenny carryong a team
They have an army of ball winners.....
Pendlebury is more use to them on the receiving end of a handball/tap out than trying to get it himself. I am not saying he doesn't do it however with Ball in there it's obvious who is going harder to get the ball out to whom.

I click on here to look at the final teams and all I see is Luke Frikkin Ball!! And wouldn't you know it, Big Mart singing his praises! FFS he isn't a St Kilda player so lets just get over it or chat about him on the filth's boards or opposition forum. We dealt with him once and for all a couple of weeks back with the post of all posts... please move on...
Now, the teams.... anyone? I can't be bothered trawling through the first couple of pages...

How are your selections going now. Havent seen you say I did this or I know that or I coached socceroos.BigMart wrote:Right so far......correct me if im wrong...
People who cannot run on wednesday, rarely fly interstate to play on the weekend.....
Armo has been playing the mini role.....that rossy loves......and he'll love it more with mini back....bog in the twos....
Armo is clearly on the nose for the coach, its ball deja vu...
I wonder if armo will recieve the same vitriolic rubbish when he leaves....

Ah, now i get it....
You are crossing threads again......oh well
I never coached any socceroos......taught at the schools of scott mcdonald and kritian sarkies...I am a very poor soccer player
Never said i did coach them, did know how dedicated to their sport they were.....they spent a lot of school time in europe... Juggling study and travel and pressure and expectation and competition and stress and being disciplined
Anyway plugger, whatever
Think first......

Do you actually realise nearly all your posts are about you. That is the funny part. How is Armo going this week? Of course no answer about that but just talking about yourself again.BigMart wrote:Ah, now i get it....

Holder of unacceptable views and other thought crimes.
Thats funny.....all of your posts are about me also...
Keep trying...
Btw.....if armo does play....if
At game's end, he will be closer to the door than he was before the game....if he is played in the same role....
Which mini is actually better at...
Another game under a dozen touches, zero goals..... Would not be great for him....good for sandy
Its funny how i know nothing, but you know more......what were your predictions this week 'oracle'
I dont know much i suppose, but mine were
Mini, siposs, geary.....if they are not in, i wasnt far off.....thats if...

My prediction was no change which at the moment it is but I didnt get on here and tell people i was right because it wasnt that hard to pick. Someone else got on here though and said I am right at the moment. Godknows why they would tell us that when the side hadnt been selected yet. Now that person is saying I could be right next week if Armo has a poor game. Well who cares about next week but someone does to justify what they said.BigMart wrote:Thats funny.....all of your posts are about me also...

No change...... I guess you do know ross best, considering you work with him...
I should have gone with the conservative approach......
A conservative prediction about s conservative coach, good probability?...
But before you start bagging me for being wrong
Wait until i am....
Then, go for your life.......

I actually worded it wrong, I meant to ask Bigmart does he really think Mini plays it better than Armo...Zac Attack wrote:McQ is crap. There it has been said.SainterK wrote:So you think he plays it better than Mini?
I'm not sure.
He had one quiet game, but he still has kicked more goals than Schneider in a month.
I'm not sure about that.
