Ryan Griffen wants out to GWS

[Twodogs]

The way he went out (and with the position he was holding at our club) i hope he's never invited back myself. But im probably not the most rational person on these things.

I felt the same about Gary Dempsey leaving.

Agree with you Chef, I doubt very much, but then again, Wayne Carey is commentating and has been invited back to North functions. What he did was off the charts and one could never imagine, but there you go. Tom Boyd was a pretty good salve on the wound.

That sort of thing is a pretty common occurrence at footy clubs. You just don't often hear about them very often. I don't think that I am speaking out of school in saying that exact thing was one of the major factors in the breakup of the 1954 premiership team.

Maybe not in the dunny at the vice captain's place during a club BBQ but the principle is the same.

What is going on with the double posts Twodogs?

[Greystache]

He looked a shadow of his former self this season and this injury is only likely to further reduce his desire to get back to his best. I can see the rest of his career meandering out in mediocrity, and what better place to do that while earning an absolute fortune than GWS?

You need to ask it again to get an answer...

[Twodogs]

I don't know. I think my IPad has gone a bit doolally.

Holy moly. Is that so? That I never knew. Interesting Bulldogs lore. I can feel the mods about to swoop...wait....Twodogs you are a mod! Safe, phew.

Attended a training event in China. Met a former staff member of Victor Harbour High School in Adelaide, where Ryan's mother works.

* Already planning to leave in 2012. Wanted to play for a team that had a chance at a premiership.
* "Hated" Rocket Eade.

Seems strange he would later take the captaincy, but just the word.
Anyway, that's what he said.
Spoke very highly of Ryan. Taught Mark Ricutto and quite a few other former crows players.

Sorry GD, find all of that hard to believe.

Signed his last contact in 2012 when he had offers from other clubs. I'll take that with a grain of salt

So how far away are GWS from a flag?
Good riddance

Well, he said "two years ago". So I am guessing after or around.

I don't care either way. Just reporting what was said. When you think he wanted to become captain, it doesn't sound right, but who knows? If you wanted to win a premiership you would not go to GWS.

Yes I know but he had enough time by then to know how he felt about Rocket and had no need to sign early.

Appreciate you passing on either way.
