List Mgmt. Hayden Ballantyne

[Pusswah]

All we have had up forward this year is Walters and a glimpse of how good Tabberner and Cox are going to be, the rest have been a dissapointment and we need to experiment with the mix, Bray Grey is tough and never gives up and would easily replace Ballantyne who has been previously a great for us. I would be bappy to try a few different options even someone like Luke Ryan when Griffin Logue comes back and Kersten settles into the backline. Ryan can take a grab, can kick from outside 50 and is smart enough to create

Yeah, i'm a little undecided myself.
On one hand, playing at small forward should be a good slot for any quick young kid to get some games of experience. On the other hand, I wonder if we should be recruiting an actual specialist small forward to do it justice.

Ballas shouldn't have been given a new contract with this draft coming up and our young players needing game time

[Rob]

Yep we need guys like Ballas to stand up against the better teams and protect the yoof

Like when he has 1 handball in a half.

[MadDocker]

He's been shit for 3 years. Club giving him a contract based on what he's been providing is an absolute joke.

 

[Rion]

Might have only had one effective disposal and 2 tackles but damn, the leadership he brings out there makes it all worth it.

 

[Tundrawolf]

If ever you needed confirmation of what a shit decision it was to re-sign him, there it was.

Maybe Lloyd did it as a practical joke before leaving

 

[Deathly]

I haven't minded him this year, although this isn't the first time now he's regressed to total garbage after securing a contract after some good football.

He's nearly as pathetic as a footballer as he is a human being. Sit him in the WAFL next year and regularly remind him how worthless he is.

 

[Freoforever86]

To be fair, he had a good few weeks.
If he is in the team round 1 next year I’ll be filthy. Depth only now

 

[FreoRicci]

Ballas. Celebrating his one year contract with 4 disposals. Great.

 

[Mr Fonebone]

Ballas has got his contract..now he can go back to being three-fifths of useless.

 

[Scham]

Maybe Lloyd did it as a practical joke before leaving

I’m tellin ya, Ross is looking after the contracts since Lloyd left.

Looks like it anyway.

 

[Fyfster]

Tonight i watched in my opinion the best small forward in the comp . Jade Gresham . Ballas is so far off that level it is laughable!!!

 

[Midnite65]

At least he will be fresh for the Pies!

At least he will be fresh for the Pies!

Shame it's not his farewell game.

 

[FD2646]

Needs to play the same role as Danyl Pearce in 2019....provide a good example at Peel and use only in the event of emergency.

Ballas isn’t even ahead of Matera IMO and both of them are miles off someone like Blair Bell who is miles off playing AFL.

Gresham? That’s like comparing Fyfe to Luke Davies-Uniacke.

Yes but which one is LDU ?

Know him personally do you?

 

[basashi]

i would have thought they regretted bringing ballantyne into 2018

2019? wtf?

 

[thewiz0033]

rebuild?
we have Spurr Pearce and Jonno leaving
Banfield coming off the rookie list
Sandi did more than Ballas in his 11 games than Ballas did all year and has earned an extra year

delisting Ballas was a no brainer

we are rebuilding with one decent draft pick and cant trade because no one wants to come here

 

[Demons09]

I don’t think Lloyd had any say in it.

It was a joke

I hardly think that he would have been involved
