Re Hudson, it just seems odd we missed him. Or unlucky I suppose.

Happy to get Ward?

I'm pretty sure we wanted him but the Crows did 2 that year

Just a bit of an article on Ward

Ward proves just the thing for Bulldogs

CALLAN Ward became the sixth Western Jets player to be drafted in as many years when he was snapped up by the Western Bulldogs on Saturday.

Ward had a terrific season for the Jets and was rewarded when the Bulldogs took him with their second selection at number 19 overall in the AFL National Draft.

It is the sixth time in a row just one Jets player has been taken by an AFL club in the National Draft.

Ward is noted for his aggressive and competitive nature, something many pundits believe the Bulldogs need to improve if they are to be a force at the elite level.

“Callan is a beauty. We’re really pleased we got him,” Western Bulldogs recruiting officer Scott Clayton said.

“He’s on our doorstep, he’s a Western Jets boy, and he’s a very tough competitor.

“He’s got great grunt, he’s a very good player and he’ll be terrific for us.”

Ward went into Saturday’s draft as one of the top hopefuls for the Western Jets.

He is blessed with the ability to read the game easily and always finds himself in the right spot.

His versatility would have also appealed to recruiting staff.

Other Jets hopefuls Rhys Prismall, Steven Kennedy, Nathan Lyons and Will Sullivan will now pin their hopes on the AFL rookie draft if they are to get a lifeline.

Thats a generous offer but I'd like to explore more about perhaps selling or raffling off some of the benefits or something like that. I might have an online payment option through one of the clubs partners as well.

I'm not that worried about the add ons. I have the money now & want to pay so I can get it out of the way.
