    This is the thing to remember with the offer to Ward - if it really is worth $500k per year for him to leave, he just has to leave. He has too. He is a knee injury away from this being the last contract that he ever signs and he cannot lose sight of that. Family ties, friends, girlfriends...whatever. He isn't moving to the dark side of the moon - it is a 1hour plane trip (and regular fares offered at < $100) away from them.
    Which is why I won't hate Cal for leaving. It'll hurt for sure, but man am I going to hate GWS. Irrational "more than Carlton" hatred is what I'm going for.

    This.

    The opportunity he has to set himself up for the rest of his life simply cannot be ignored. I'd be shattered but it'd be impossible for me to hold it against him.

    He can set himself up for life if he accepts a lesser deal also.

    Re: GWS player predictions.

    Why hasn't Ward come out and said he isn't going?

    He's just waiting until the end of the season to announce it isn't he?
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    If Ward said he was going to Gws now and we were no chance of finals then I would be telling him to pack now.

    Exactly, $450k is nothing to be sneezed at, and who is to say he won't get $700k plus in 3 years time.

    The crap part about it is that if we were Collingwood, Essendon, Carlton et al we would be able to promise him the difference in deals from promo work and other sneaky top-up shenanigans.

    The more I think about this the more Free agency scares the shit out of me.

    Re: GWS player predictions.

    If they fail to get Thomas or another A grader from Collingwood I wonder if they will go for someone like Fasalo (assuming he is out of contract)? They should. Surely Collingwood can't keep them all?

    Total Rubbish. Chris Grant did well for himself by staying after Port offered the world.Luke Darcy's done well after footy. The list is endless

    He only got drafted last season so he has another year left on his contract

    Unlike GC, GWS can take uncontracted players for 2 seasons, so we all face the same threat in 12 months time.

    Re: GWS player predictions.

    The Crows are in uproar about Phil Davis - and rightly so

    Although when the shoe was on the other foot and they took players when they entered the competition - (I'm thinking McGuinness, Jarman, Mickan etc etc) they werent complaining

    Again - its funny that no 'required' player from Essendon, Carlton, Collingwood or West Coast jumped ship last season or looks like jumping ship this season...

    Pretty obviously that the power clubs look after their players outside of the salary cap

    It annoys me that Simon Tregenza never played for us
