Whose gonna get a kid to offer him 20cents at the airport?

It worked on Chris Grant

I will find one quick, but we may have to up it to a $1 coin

Re: Callan Ward - Staying or going?

He's 100% gone IMO, we heard nothing from Harbrow whilst all this speculation occured, same is happening from Ward.

This one is going to hurt twice as much..

Harbrow's in this years calendar.

Is he? Haven't seen it. Obviously they're getting them printed too early.

Hmmm, hard to tell on that alone. Look at Dale Thomas: He is yet to sign with Collingwood, but it's not necessarily because he wants to go to GWS (though he might, who knows…)

It is going to hurt, but then we'll find someone else to fill his shoes and life will go on.

Re: Callan Ward - Staying or going?

It's time for Simon Garlick or Fantasia to put it to Ward whether he's going!
Getting tired of this so called process, personally going to be pi**Ed off if he plays the rest of the season and rides off into the sunset.Extremely unfair for the club who'd get game time into Howard and Tutt and young Mitch. Time to give ward an Ultimatim!!

He will continue to be played regardless of if he is going or not.
Giving him an ultimatum is not the way to go.

What if he does a knee and GWS don't want him anymore?

If my employer did something like that they would make up my mind for me. It wouldn't be favourable for them in case you were wondering.

Re: Callan Ward - Staying or going?

I would assume that if he has decided to stay he would have announced that by now. Either he has already decided (and is going) or he is truly going to wait til season's end to decide.

Just watched Silvani on some footy show or other talking about Ward and Scully. I'm so sick of this bullsh!t party line " we had a brief window at the start of the year and then another one after the season is over to talk to their management teams..." Seriously - WTF? Ward even said they've been talking to his team during he year. SoS looked far to smug for my blood-pressure to handle.

It's a joke and is going to have a big impact on the AFL going forward. Who wants to watch/support a team that's losing all their stars? It's alright for teams such as Collingwood who even without having won a Premiership last year have so many things going for them to entice players to stay ($$, corporate sponsorship, attractive draw, brilliant facilities). I'm one of those supporters who will support the Dogs come what may, but what about the fickle ones and attracting new members? Losing a player like Ward not only impacts us in that sense but with the amount of time, dollars and effort spent in grooming him into the player he is today and will be tomorrow - you just can't compensate for that.

Rant over.

This why Melbourne are so upset with the Scully thing, you spend 2 years putting your efforts money etc in a young player of great talent only to see all of the time and money go down the drain to another club, it becomes a wasted number 1 pick.

Re: Callan Ward - Staying or going?

Yeah. Losing Scully will suck, but since they've had so many other top picks they do have other future superstars to fall back on. In a way I don't have as much sympathy for Melbourne as they have simply not done enough with what they've had and should be winning a lot more games by now. Whereas I think we have done a fair bit. Except for this year where the wheels have fallen off - bad timing...

We got him for next to nothing Well at least that was what the player we traded away for the pick was giving us at the time.

He has already given so much back in his 60 games with us. If he goes, he goes.

Re: Callan Ward - Staying or going?

Dogs have suspicions they can't Ward off GWS

Doesn't sound promising... but good news on Wood.
