IF we keep Ball this will be hands DOWN be the GREATEST LIST OF ALL TIME.

I cant see us losing ...

YES this is looking good guys. geelong and bulldogs ONCE?? ALRIGHT!!

No excuses we should most games next year and the FLAG to boot. CARN SAINTERS!

I guess Kosi is best suited to Full Forward but i'd like to see him tried at CHB...it'd be good to know for sure if he is just a one position player.. What ever position he plays i hope it's for the Saints and not against them, you never know come Trade Week,it could be Ball this year,Kosi next yea...

Where he played in 2009. FULL FORWARD CRASHING PACKS 30m out from goal. We shouldve won the flag against one of the greatest individual teams there is NTHING wrong with our team right now it is great. GET OFF MILNES AND RAPHS BACK THEY ARE GOOD PLAYERS. So they had a down day they could just as well...

GUn. This guy could do some damage perfect fit for our gameplan.

Bring it on. Depth just got deeper i reckon.

I believe it was Geary.

Would it ease the pain knowing that we will go back to back in 2010 and 2011?? Get on board forget 2010 it was alkl in all a very positive year. We were almost unbeatable and still improving. I believe Lovett, peake both add the pace we need with Armitage, Lynch, Steven, Geary all ready to step up. ...

All, there are two sides to every story! I actually saw and spoke to Luke Ball on Friday night (October 2nd) and Luke stated that he wasn't wanted by the club. I for one would like Luke Ball to be part of our premiership campaign for season 2010 as he is a valuable player even if it is for 50 - 60 ...

Its a tough one. I reckon they should ALL sit down the leadership group and just discuss all this.

When is armitage contracted for becauze i thought he was off to the GC!

We really need armo now i hope he steps up he is a great player in waiting!

He was the only backman with run left in his legs. Have you watched the final quatrter of the prelim??? Watch it again and youll see raph dominating. How can you bash someone who got us over the line?? If max was in instead we wouldnt have made the grand final FACT. Everyone highlights his slow deci...

Good trade period cept for luke ball obviously.

Lovett is a GREAT pickup SOOO good.

Clarke I love him but no postion for him in this team we need harder bigger stronger bodies.

Needed Maguire he is the back up backman. If blake or Dawson go down he is in.

Peake in 22?? haha come off it. This is what I want to see by round 10 with everyone at their best. The Goose make no mistake will be back!! FB: Blake/Maguire Dawson Gilbert HB: Gram Fisher Goddard C: Lovett Hayes Dal Santo HF: Macqualter Roo Armitage FF: Mc Evoy Kosi Schnieder R: Gardiner Jones Mon...

Exactly RAPH was the ONLY player left we had with run in his legs in that prelim. Without Raph we would NOT have made the grand final FACT!!!

Bloody idiots. raph is a gun.

Guys relax. Yeah its not a great trade it a loss BUT the top clubs will have losses and this is our first only.

Xavier isnt in top 26 and actually with thios roosy game plan he maybe not even top 32!!!

We have lovett great pickup. We have Peake who is fast and potentially a great pick up. Ball wanted to go to the pies but the pies have used 14 on Jolly. Thats great they wont get ball without giving us thomas. Collingwood think they are a chance they dont have a chance in hell the next 5 years they...

JWALTO - We arent the worst AFL side. We are 12th on the all time ladder just behind carlton and port, collingwood. We will win a flag in the next 2/3 years i assure you. I have a feeling we will go back to back. Dont be silly stay with the saints just a little more this is OUR time. If we win the f...

Ok come on people time to put faith in our great leader ross. He has turned DAWSON into a great full back, RAY who wasnt even making the doggies 22 into a star of AFL. GARDINER he got back to his best. MAcqualter, Jones - both solid AFL players now... what more does ROSSY have to do??? FFS do ya job...

rOUND 1

In: MAGUIRE, LOVETT, ARMITAGE
out: r.CLARKE, BALL, ?

check that out. Defo what we need no luke ball could do this.

YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! This is awesome. I was just thinking last year how we could do with a lovett or alwyn davey this is AWESOME. This guy is lightning and kicks goals LONG goals unlike ball. As someone mentioned we will simply offload Ball for a first round pick obviously better like 12 or som...

Sad day for the saints luke ball is gun. I cant believe this is happening.

Armitage and Steven better be ready to go.

did anyone talk to Maguire?? is he staying FFS did anyone just ask him?? what about bally?? i reckon we'd be crazy to mess with what was essentially a flag winning formula.

Whats with all this BALLY BASHING??? he is a gun!!!!

Do we want to win 2010 flag??

Get Lovett great runner what we need get him for pick 16 thats all. Win back to back flags then i dont care

BTW this wasnt my opinion or anything it was stated in the herald sun as a possible trade. I reckon the Goose will be awesome next year. Surely theyll be a spot for him come open. Rossy has said he wanted a full year of VFL from Matt before putting him back in. Well people he is now ready to go. CAR...

this seems to be the going deal... At first its seems HELL YES! A coleman medalist a top 10 AFL player... who can win games and do anything on the day then I think about character team building, players that ALWAYS put in 100% not just for themselves but the team. We should keep luke ball. We can wi...
