Also said they tried to get him to sign up at the start of the season.

As they should've. I would hope they also tried to sign him up last year.

I for one am not happy that the club would try and sign Ward for 5 years. He is not that good, at the best he is a B+ and will never be an A grader.

If true, then Fantasia's comment today really rile me. They make it sound as if there is hope, when they know very well there is none, if what Mark Stevens tweets is true.
Potentially his comments get fan's hopes up, all to try and spin a story about how even at the death we are still trying to sway him to stay. For what benefit? To perhaps quell any potential supporter agitation that we didn't do enough to keep him?

Can't believe the amount of booing directed at Callan today. Those responsible are pathetic. Please don't bother buying a membership next year.

It was a disgrace.

I was ashamed to be a Doggies supporter.

We don't need supporters like this.

He has no idea and is a major case of trying to be a a Jack of all trades and Master of none.
It is about time ego's were put aside and the future of the club was decided !

We don't need players that don't want to be there, either. I didn't boo, but totally understood it.

If true, makes his playing today even more disgusting. If you've already said yes to another side, bugger off and try their uniform on for size. You don't want to be a Dog, don't be. Not even once more.

Re: Callan Ward jumps Bulldogs ship to join GWS

I don't like whole idea however we all need to get on with it whatever way it goes. The extra money should make like a lot easier for Ward especially after his footy career . Footy does not last forever and you need to get whatever you can out of it. It's very difficult for AFL player to study or obtain a trade whilst they are in the system.

This has been covered elsewhere, but Ward was hardly on a pittance here. How many houses and cars does one person need to own?

We need all we can get, but beyond that, why was it a disgrace?

If he stay's (and this could be egg on face tomorrow) the bases of Booing and slagging have all been because of reporters and conjecture.

That is true, I agree. I have made the assumption he is gone, am certain that he is but will eat some humble pie and hand back his hero status in an instant if he does in fact stay. Would get a free pass for life. But we know that is very unlikely.

Is it less a disgrace if he does leave, that he was jeered? I do not understand why it is a disgrace. To me it is supporters expressing themselves as a result of something that has impacted their Club. Must have missed these unwritten rules about what is OK and not for Footscray fans.
