Harold SG "Jock" Ball was cleared to Melbourne in April 1935 after winning the 1934 Ovens & Murray League's best and fairest award while playing as a half-back. Ball had previously been invited to train at Richmond, and was expected to play in their 1935 pre-season games before joining Melbourne instead.

In May 1937, the wing/half-forward was proposed as part of a swap to Hawthorn for Bert Chandler, but remained at Melbourne and played one more game late in the season. Hawthorn expected him to train with them in the 1938 pre-season, but he went to Essendon instead. Ball was cleared in May 1938 but did not play another senior game, then trained with Williamstown in the 1939 pre-season.
