It's not us that needs to get over it. It never has been. It's always been Saints supporters that bring it up.

Yeah right
You can be posing on a thread about the "possibilities of cold fusion as a future energy supply" and some Collingwood supporter will manage to come up with a reason to mention Luke Ball when he see's you are a Saints supporter.
hayes
Brownlow Medallist
If Ball was still here he wouldn't be getting a game anyway, so there's no need to talk about that anymore. Time to move on Collingwood fans.

Would love him at the Lions.
Sherman + 3rd rounder sounds like a fair trade.
We'll even throw in Raines for free!

Armo is an elite.
Surely that gives us double compo picks???
Seriously, who decides what you get for what player?

The afl determines the combo....the only thing armitage has going for him is his early round draft pick a few years back.
The AFL will consider alot of variables:
*The draft pick the player was taken
*Age
*The current Salary at the club
*B&F and other awards
* Games played
Bottom line is, Armitage is well behind in development for a midfielder taken at pick 9, because he is in a team with great midfield talent. The saints would get a better deal trading with other clubs then combo from the GC. So if he goes to the GC doen't expect great things in return

Decently. Just came back from a long injury and it showed he lacked the speed of the game.
He'll get better with more games.

Pretty sure that if he moves it will be to the GC for money.
Thing is he's had plenty of opportunities to cement a spot in the Saints side, but he hasn't managed to do it. Maybe he'll feel better about himself if he's a big fish in a small pond.
As for Mr Rude, his sense of humour indicates that he is probably younger than any of David Armitage's girlfriends ( who was not underage despite the myths propogated on BF ).

The thing is the GC may not throw extra cash at him as he hasn't proven himself...The GC are targeting established extra players with any extra money. Also, A player like Armitage would have to think long and hard at going to a club with a heap of top end talent, as there will be a big fit for spots with all the youngsters.
I think the Lions could match the GC for a guy like Armitage, and given the state of our roster Armiatge would be a show in for 22 games, which would be a reason why he could choose the lions. But time will tell...in the mean time I will con't to dream. lol

so does the other two involved both from the gold coast one is his team mate and the other plays for the top team
I spoke to him at the B&F. He has signed a one year contract with the view that if he feels that he is given enough opportunity next year he will sign a 2-3 year contract but if he feels that he hasn't had a good enough go at it, he will move clubs.
Really surprised Gold Coast didn't pick him up.
True?
If so, even I can agree with that. Here's hoping we give him a shot next year!
If he can replicate that last quarter against Freo (still fresh in my mind) more often, he's easily in our best 22.
He didn't have the best year this year, and I can understand him wanting to have a good crack at becoming a permanant best 22. I can also understand him not wanting a long term contract at his current level. Do it Armo.

Are you certain he signed a 1 year deal?
From what I hear Essendon are still interested and if a suitable trade can not be made, the PSD is an option.

Floreat Pica, Bitch!
He was drafted in 2006, so the pick he was taken at is pretty much irrelevant in trade negotiations.
It's safe to say that once you're 22, no-one gives a shit what month your birthday is in.
I think someone on the Saints board and went to the B&F or something.
Spose everyone's gonna be hearing different things, as well as making up stuff. Which I really hope you are
Armitage will stay a Saint for 2011.... its a huge year for him. If he doesnt consolidate at senior level next year then he will almost certainly be on the move end of next season.
