Rumour trade

saintdavies · Fri 02 Oct 2009 11:29pm

Heard a rumor from inside st kilda that the saints are talking with West Coast to trade Luke Ball for Kerr. What do you guys think? Personally i would keep Ball, hope its not true though

Give it a spell. How on earth does West Coast get anywhere near a win on this?

I think you need to stop having spicy pizza before bed....the stupid hallucinations will go away then

Seriously, why do people we NEVER see around here during the regular season (even in a year we make the GF) suddenly turn up in off-season and spout all these fanciful rumours??

Nah, as we have all agreed we need a third tall forward...

What would we need to give WC to get Peter Sumich, or maybe even Troy Wilson.... Both good options and can kick goals...

Totally agree with you there! Talkback callers the same. I swear some people live for this trade period. Frustrated recruiting officers....or these days I suppose it's frustrated list management.....

Luke Ball was offered a new contract, dont know if he has signed yet, it hasnt been reported if he has.
but wouldnt that mean, he is off trade lists? and they wouldnt be making or offering a trade, involving a player that was just offered a new contract.

Been here all season just never made an account, thats why. Now that i have something to post i do, don't have a sook just because you don't agree with the rumor.

Agree 100% saintdavies. I wasn't aware that a member had to be a regular poster to gain acceptance. But I have noticed some regular posters who like to snipe those who haven't written many messages. I for one enjoy reading messages by new posters

Pull that trade off and itd be a miracle.

But no, West Coast aint letting a genuine top 10 AFL mid go for Ball Im afraid - Kerrs a game breaker. Luke a very good in and under. Cant see the balance in that.

Kerr has been wanting to leave west coast for a while so that may go in our favor, but i agree, doubt it's going to happen.

Until Luke signs all avenues are open to him.

The offer the Saints have made would be for a lot, and I mean a lot, less than his last contract. Up to Luke to decide if he should stay or go.

would never happen
but!

would happily take it if it was true

If they throw enough darts, one of them might hit the target and they are an instant hero.

Good on them.

If he doesn't sign it, he is tradeable.

I heard a rumour that St Kilda has offerred Geelong 20 woodens spoons for one premiership cup and flag.
Geelong said they hadn't expected the offer but would give it all the consideration it deserved.

This is today's Herald Sun:

ST KILDA has emerged as an official bidder for Shaun Burgoyne, the Port Adelaide midfielder who has nominated Hawthorn as his preferred destination.

The Saints are believed to have offered their first national draft pick, No. 16, and Luke Ball, to the Power in the hope of out-bidding Hawthorn, which is reluctant to add a quality player to its on-the-table offer to the Power of draft pick No. 9.

The Saints' offer is almost certain to be knocked back.

I hope this is untrue - i do not see the worth in that trade...

Just the club letting Luke know that all he can expect in front of his annual salary is a 1 instead of a 6.
Sign the contract in front of you or you will be playing for Port Adelaide, Luke.

My deeply considered opinion? This is just another bit of Newscorp nonsense. The Boss was more than satisfied with Bally - the only sticking point is whether he will cop a cut from $600K P.A. to around $400K P.A. Anbd, why wouldn't he?

Who else is going to pay him shyteloads?

$400,000 to warm the bench while there are 18 other fit guys playing their guts out on the field!
He must have some pretty big dirt on those in power at the club.

The OtherThommo · Sat 03 Oct 2009 2:35am

Ah, you're kidding, right, Ace? How'd he go last week (just a minor contest)? The man in charge has even admitted he underused him - sub 50%, yet 20+ touches, and worked his arse off.

I doubt we'll make many changes. If we were to shift Bally on, who's going to help Lendog in and under? It's the same argumant with Goose - we might as well give him a chance next year, because if Zac blows up we have no big key defenders.
