Nobody says they leave for the money, but at least Boyd has the decency not to make up a tonne of bullshit about it instead.

He wanted to come home to Melbourne

When one of your parents passes, it's one of the biggest things in your life. I respect Griff, and don't hold him any grudges for what he did, but disagree with the way he did it. Still, he was still grieving by the sounds of it, and prolly not thinking straight.
Let's not forget the ugly games where he was about the only one dragging our pride out of the mud.
Good luck mate, and welcome Tom Boyd!

I don't see the point in demonizing Leon Cameron. Just doing his job for his footy club.

His Dad died at the end of the 2008 season. The references to his Dad are just more bullshit in an article overloaded with bullshit.

The issue is the crap about the " quiet word" then shock horror Griffin announces he's going to GWS!
Honestly do they think we're all so gullible ?

Calling an orange and grey spade a spade there. You have more of an inside view of the club. What are the other pieces of bullshit in there?

I agree, he is just doing his job.

But he doesn't have to make up shit in the media about though. Either tell the truth or say no comment, how stupid does he think we are. I find it a bit insulting towards our supporter base, which is sad coming from a player a really liked.

That's what gets me. Come on Leon, it's us you're talking to. You know we aren't that dumb.

Yes, the article has some garbage in it

But we, as a club stuffed this up, McCartney stuffed this up

And don't forget Griffin stuff up accepting something he wasn't cut out for, he could have always said no.

That whole three or four months of poor communication must have been some of the worst communication in the history of communication!

Sorry BAD, I just don't buy it.

We've done it to death though, probably no need to go around the mulberry bush on this one again!

Sorry, comment was tongue in cheek.

I don't have the hate of others as I still can't believe we sacked the coach and got rid of ten players. In the past I was pissed off with good players leaving us, but after this year, nothing surprises me any more.

Last night at the social club function, looking on stage at the 9 new recruits plus two rookie upgrades, I just thought wow, this is really a major change to the team.

I really don't know what the effect is of losing over 800 games of experience and what that will do to our performance in the short term. Long term , will we be awesome

Re: Leon Cameron tells how GWS landed former disgruntled Bulldogs skipper Ryan Griffen

My head's still spinning after the post season shenanigans as much as anyone else's. Can't wait for it to be put to rest when the season starts.

Exactly. Boydy asked Griffin if he was ready to be captain. He said yes. Could easily have said no. He wasn't pushed into it.
