It’s very important for Ball to knuckle down now and help Collingwood deliver a premiership. Its not good enough for Ball, or anyone else on the ‘Pies team to just play and win games. Enough with the preparation already. Collingwood must win the flag.

As a St.Kilda supporter and member I was extremely disappointed Luke wound up at Collingwood.
If Collingwood wanted to trade fairly for him and he went there during the trading period – fair enough.
If he wound up going to Melbourne, Essendon or Brisbane in the draft – that’s football.
But when Collingwood don’t offer fair value for him during trading and still get him in the draft – very disappointing.
I hope he goes on to have a successful carreer but the whole thing has left a bad taste in my mouth.
