How did Luke Ball get to us in the draft?
Ross refused to trade him to us for pick #30 and Goldsack. Paul Conners evidently convinced him to enter the national draft with a price on his head, and he refused to do medicals with any teams other than us. He had some chronic groin issues which were not to be taken lightly… anyway he got to us at the pick we were trying to trade for him.
 
Is some good news imminent?
Imminent?
As in this week?

Ha this might be how it plays out with B.Smith this year if bulldogs and cats can’t strike a deal

We offered Pick 30 and Goldsack

Saints played serious hardball

We and Ball called their bluff and he put a price on his head and made it publicly very clear he wanted to come to Collingwood

He walked to the pre-season draft and we used pick 30 on him and obviously kept Goldsack

Then the beautiful poetry of beating St.Kilda in the Grand Final that same season

A couple of scenarios raised, all of which would’ve benefited St Kilda and cost us more than what ensued, and all of which ultimately might have delivered the Saints the 2010 flag had they accepted them.

You love to see it.

I had a dream last night that we got Houston.

Has as much credibility as anything you'll read on here 🤣
I had a dream last night.................and I'll leave it there
 
I'll never forget the anxiety of the 2009 National Draft when we were hoping Ball would slip to Pick 30 (our first pick in the draft).

There was some talk at the time that Melbourne were interested in Ball and for a moment I thought he was going to be selected at Pick 18, but Melbourne opted for Luke Tapscott instead. Biggest sigh of relief I can remember in my life 🤣

My memory of that is it was like the Brownlow where they draw out the first name (or initial) so we had the Melbourne draft team calling out "Player #12345, Luke........ Tapscott".

The dots above represent the number of heart palpitations I had in that split moment. I'm sure if you can find the footage that there wasn't actually any pause and it was all in my head.

Seem to recall standing in the kitchen listening to that bit of agony
 
It's irrelevant.

Different player. If he's bumped up Noble's value what's Houston now worth?
I was comparing the pair that GC are after so Houston’s value didn’t enter my thinking. TBH I’m still confused but thankful for the BF feedback as this trading stuff is beyond my comprehension🥴.
