Home is exactly where Callan Ward's heart lies

[LostDoggy]

Very encouraged by this story. Some people don't live and breath the almighty dollar,family ties are very important. Ahh the Yarraville club! True Westie

The whole article makes Paul Connors look like a total tossbag. Oh wait, he is a total tossbag. Carry on then…

What? You want them to name it "The Callan Ward" or "The Ward Ward"?

SNAP! I thought of nenaming a political boundary after him, and calling it this...

If it's a choice between Ward and Wood, well I really like Wood, but Ward'll be my pick.

This comes to the very crux of it. If keeping Callan means affecting our ability to keep Roughy, Wood, Dal, Jones etc etc then thanks for the memories Wardy. Need 18 players out there at a time that can potentially do the job.

Connors actually said he hoped Ward re-signed a new contract with the dogs, so not sure why you think it makes Connors look like a toss bag.

I think it's more like our inability to retain Hargrave, Gilbee and Cross personally.

If thats the case, thats not a huge issue as none of the above are going to get any better,

Gilbee is contracted for 2012

Which does not mean much unless he is on a huge salary

What I meant is that we get no salary cap relief by cutting him at the end of the year.

Unless traded. is that right?(not that it will happen)

How will the club factor matters next year when we have Gia & Murph also eligible for the Veteran's List (currently Gilbee & Shaggy are on it)?

More importantly, what about Lake? He,s the one on big cash.

Actually, looking at his Birthdate (Feb 82) & year of draft (2001), he appears to also qualify next year (funny, I always thought he was a further year back, dunno why).

Getting Lake on the Vet's List next year is a must. Going to be interesting to see how it all unfolds.

We can only do that by dumping Hargrave (or sharing the salaries 3 ways which kinda defeats the purpose).
