Western Bulldogs draftee Clay Smith handed Callan Ward's number

THE Western Bulldogs are hoping their first round draft pick, Clay Smith, might prove a long-term replacement for Callan Ward, and they've even given him Ward's number to prove it.
The tough Gippsland Power midfielder, taken with the No.17 pick in last month's national draft, has been awarded Ward's former No.14 jumper.
And new teammate Will Minson has even taken to calling Smith "Cement", Ward's nickname before he took up a big offer to join Greater Western Sydney.
Many other Bulldogs have settled on "Cassius" as Smith's nickname - appropriate given his penchant for hard work and grit.
Smith is not fazed by taking on Ward's old number.

To be honest I'm not too happy with all the Ward references and comparisons. It reminds me of a scorned lover trying to make their ex jealous by flaunting new flame. Clay is not and should not be Ward he is his own man and should be able to forge his own path within our footy club without the added pressure and comparisons.

Agree. I have forgotten Ward. He did not hang around long enough to achieve anything at the club.

Mountain out of a molehill Mike:rolleyes:Hope he does justice to Darcy and Capt Grona's number. The bloke who wore it after Darcy isn't worth the time of Day

When Smith gets his chance on the field and if he does all the right things he'll make the number his own and Ward will be a distant memory.

Hey don't get me wrong it's not like I'm threatening a boycot or something stupid like that. It just annoys me that whenever Cassius is mentioned in a news article so is Judas Mcpuffyhair and now we went and specifically gave Clay his old number.
