    Lachie Hunter has calf issues apparently. Interesting way to spell cocaine.

    They went back to the Oliver media strategy.

    Get the vomit bucket out then because we literally lowballed him.

    Ok so this is the scenario you're advocating.

    Hi I'm Cal. Western B'Dogs what you got.

    350k? Jam that wtf! I'm a future captain. (I've played 60 games so yeah that's probably fair)

    Dogs management thinking : if he negotiates well we will give him 400-450.

    GWS : Hi Cal do you want 4 mill?

    Duh.

    No I agreed that their offer was beyond what he was worth/what we were willing to pay, the issue is as I understand it Ward's management were prepared to accept less money to stay at the Dogs than GWS were offering but we didn't budge.

    That's my understanding anyway.

    Well it sounds like complete horse shit.

    Even if we offered a 60 game player 600k a year for 4 years (2.4) it's about half what GWS offered
    I've got nfi who is perpetuating this myth of being low balled, but it feels like something a guy with a guilt complex might say.

    Just admit it. You left for the cash. That's OK.

    You're not getting any love from Dogs fans though.

    Yeah well that's like your opinion man.

    I love him.

    Besides, ultimately if he left because the dollars are massive I can't hate on that. I'd cut all of you out of my life with zero regrets for massive dollars.

    That's not true, is take Happy Days with me. I need a Court jester.

    My belief is the bulldogs wanted to wait until later in the year to sign him and he was willing to sign earlier . GWS went whack with a bag full in that time , if we didn’t hang out we would have kept him.
    We stuffed up.
