Is Callan going to GWS?

[1eyedog]

Well we have a month of footy left and I'm interested to hear from all those WOOFERS who voted on the 'Is Callan leaving poll' to assess if there has been any change of heart on this matter. This poll is just to assess if WOOFERS have changed their mind. It would be best to keep general discussion about this topic central to chef's existing thread.

So, where are we at now? Is there any variation to the 75% staying and 25% going ratio as per the existing poll?

Going. If the GWS offer is as ridiculous as reported, he'd be mad if he didn't.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Seems similar to Harbrow's situation, in that the less we hear, the worse it is.

I'll be devastated.

Was selwood mad as well?
Players want success, not money.

In Gabletts case they set up his family on the GCst. His old man is getting a gig, as is his brother. Different kettle of fish.

We have a bleak immediate future, so success won;t help.

[Maddog37]

I have swung around 100%, gone for mine.

Players dont generally switch for money, they switch for success

GWS wont be playing finals until 2016-2017 at least so good luck to Callan in ever playing in a GF - because I doubt GWS ability to attract and retain players soley for dollars and reach a GF in the foreseeable future

If he leaves good luck to him - it will just consolidate the fact that poorer clubs like us, Melbourne and North will continue to suffer and loose players like we have throughout our whole existence, and it will make it even tougher for us to ever win another flag...

If we get 2 first round draft picks for him then I wont be complaining though

Ward and Scully will be hunted men every match they play - they are going to earn all of the extra money that they are payed via the extra attention the opposition will pay to them....and I hope they enjoy the multiple >100 point thrashings that will be handed out to them week-on-week in 2012 and enjoy all of the bumps and sledging that is coming their way as having to carry the midfield as 21 year olds.

Haven't changed my mind - he is not going anywhere!!!

I'm with you. I reckon he'll stay.

[LostDoggy]

Gone.

I don't know if he's decided yet but like most men his age I'd be surprised if he chose less money over more regardless of the loyalty factor. I also reckon Connors will be whispering in his ear, driving him to the airport and buying the ticket to Sydney himself to get it done. He's probably got the pen ready to hand to Cal (if it was allowable to sign now of course )

Connors is probably clicking a pen in Callan's ear

I voted he was going from the start and still think the same. He's playing like a man with his mind at ease ATM IMO.

Interesting theory.

He's hamming up his asking price with a few BOG performances in the second half of the year if you ask me.

The ratio is taking a downward turn from the one you started a month ago Chef.

It certainly has and I was going to ask a Mod to reset the pole, but don't have to now. I think a lot more people will be voting with their heads and not their hearts now. He certainly doesn't seem to have the weight of the world on his shoulders with the way he is playing currently and in my mind he knows what he will be doing next year.
