I hope so too. He should get another year, no reason why not. I know we're blooding new players at the moment but you still need a balance of experience and he could easily play as a rotating forward too. I actually think he has been playing at half forward at times this year.

Yes let him play on. Even if he only plays 15 or so games next year, his experience and professionalism will be worth it for the young guys. He is a great footy role model.

Agree with everybody else above. Deserves to go around again & he has made it known he wants to.

Should play on mostly to help the youngsters develop.

Yep. Would be crazy to make him walk the plank.

With the loss of Maxy, his leadership and balance are required even more around the club.

Keep him, we are a very young side now, we need some senior guys around the place, surely. !

Very important to have about the club. Bally is a star and deserves recognition.

I know you were telling a funny, but we do have two of him, but we call the other one Adams.

to tell you the truth, I'm not sure their is any utility in bringing back Ball unless its on a small contract befitting the guy who is going to back up taylor adams next year (in case Adams is injured or needs a rest). I'd be really surprised if Ball can rediscover the form that will get him a game ahead of a fit adams, and I just don't see a place in the side for the both of them.

with that said, nothing wrong with giving him another year since we are already delisting a lot of players (Maxwell, Lynch, Clarke are the montys).
