Callan Ward - Staying or going?

[chef]

I would love to know everyone's opinion.

To me, he's gone I don't know why but I just have the feeling he will take the cash.

[ledge]

From what I am hearing he wants to stay and the club has upped the ante, according to the papers we would know in 2 weeks 3 weeks ago!
Actually found that a bit funny, if you read the Scully files he has been given until the end of the season to decide because GWS said they arent in a rush??

Another point on Scully according to yesterday he has been offered a million a year too, how big are the coffers and what is GWS salary cap?
I am finding that depending on how a club is going is how the press decides on which player is going from which club.

Staying, only because of his ties to the area and his family, something Harbrow didn't have.

[LostDoggy]

I,ve never spoken to Le Grand Cheveux but he seems like the sort of young fella who feels strongly about family and mateship , I doubt very much he will leave for the money he will feel like he is walking away from family and friends

One day I want to see a player come out in the media when they bring up his name and say flat out "you know what I dont care what the other club offers I love this club and I am staying"
The whole football community would respect you for the rest of your life.

I suspect their cap is bottomless. The AFL will provide whatever it takes to build the list Grubby Allan is seeking.

If Scully is being offered $1m per season what would they offer a marquee player like a Pendlebury or Thomas ?

As a Bulldog lifer optimism abounds but gee it's going to take a heavy financial sacrifice to hold young Cal. Hopefully Cal proves to be one of those types where money isn't the primary driver.

Matthew Kreuzer chooses Blues over cash

I went with staying.

If Cal does go, my love of football will just be that bit less as a result. I love the Bulldogs but not football if that makes sense.

He's probably got a pension plan from the cheats for 5 mill when he retires

I love football and the Bulldogs but I agree with your sentiments.

[AndrewP6]

I went with 'going', although recent media coverage has given me a bit of hope. After Harbrow took the money, I just have had a bad feeling about this. I know, different circumstances etc...

Hope I'm really, really wrong.

I said staying mainly just for this reason, I can't quite bear the alternative. I copped Harbrow's departure with more resignation and acceptance. Cal leaving would sicken me, not the person, the system.

I have heard from 2 different sources close to the family, though, that him staying is a real possibility. What a boost it would be to see those headlines!!

[LongWait]

I voted staying - GWS are apparently not confident of getting Ward. Hope my mail is correct!

[Maddog37]

Longer it goes the worse I feel. Particularly as he seems to be improving every week. His relationship with Rocket is important in the equation as is the potential success of the team.

At least if he continues to play well the Dogs will feel better about upping their offer.

Well that was good timing and the writer agreed with my sentiments
