Luke Ball

iremember66 · Sat 02 Oct 2010 7:22pm

Always was a great person - happy for his success - he kind of seemed upset for his Saints mates/ex team mates over his enjoyment for his win - he always was all class...
Hope he can enjoy his win, but liked his humiliation - sorry he couldn't have tasted succes with the Saints - but happy for him...

Thanks my boys - love you Saints - hold your heads high and keep playing Saints footy - we will taste success and it will be all the sweeter when it comes...

I couldn't bear to see that traitorous prick get a medal.
Shame he didn't do his hammy properly in the Prelim and miss the final.

Having said that he is way over-rated - can't kick for nuts and had limited impact in both GFs.

can only agree

Spot on. Great thread. I have this crazy hope that one day he'll be back at the Saints, Croad-Hawthorn style.

I'm just saying. Stranger things have happened! Looked more concerned about his old mates than he was about himself today. Deserves a premiership, but now he's got one, come back and help us get one!

Always a class act and have always been ticked off about him no longer wearing the black, white and red. Good on him.

He's only human if the guilt has got to him tonight. After all,he did betray his mates

Don't believe he betrayed anyone - wasn't what was needed for Saints footy and found himdself on the outer - did what he had to do given the circumstances - I believe he always thought of himself as a Saint and was disappointed to go - would have stayed if he could have, did what was best for him at the time.

A bloke who handled himself classily as a Saint - handled himself classily when he left, handles himself classily now, and, my guess is, will continue to handle himself classily in the future - kind of guy he is.

Luck fell his way - just felt that the classy guy was feeling for those he left behind...

Good on him - hope he doesn't win next year - because the Saints do, that's all...

Can't stand him wish he'd f$#@ed off years ago now instead of wasting our rehab facilities and medical expenses. C$#@.

Maybe I'm wrong but I think he said "they deserved it" (referring to Collingwood) not "we deserved it". Interesting?

Luke Ball showed some humility and pain for his ex mates which is more than I can say for Max Hudghton !!! To see him standing the boundary line laughing alongside Buckley will burn in me for a long time, even Harvs at carlton showed his class but not Max.

Max is our equivalent to SOS with carlton, this I have no doubt now !!! Am livid with him right now.

Good post. Informative, and rich.

He didn't once refer to himself as associated with Collingwood, ie 'we'. It was always 'they'. Nor did he say he was happy for himself - just for 'them'. He looked pretty torn, I thought. Very uncomfortable with the situation. Had a big hug with BJ at the end though...

Nathan Brown and Ben Reid have Max written all over them.

Yeah very humble.

He's a quality person who deserves a premiership - it just sucks it was at our expense.

Urgh, thought of this as well.

Congaratulations Luke. The coach didn't believe in you but you did. Great effort to get a premiership.
