I'm staying put: Eade

WESTERN Bulldogs coach Rodney Eade says he will not walk away from the club before the end of the season if its fortunes fail to turn around.

Former club champion Chris Grant, who played 341 games for the Dogs between 1990 and 2007, suggested Eade might consider resigning ahead of his contract's expiration at season's end as he was "very, very honest with himself".
