Re: Callan Ward jumps Bulldogs ship to join GWS

What's the mini draft?

GWS have 4 young players listed that they can trade to other clubs.

Re: Callan Ward jumps Bulldogs ship to join GWS

Last year compensation was usually announced about 2 days after the official signing of a player, so it could well happen by the middle of the week but it all depends on the papers being filed with AFL etc so don't be impatient if it's not until the end of the week.

Thanks. Not too long to wait then.

Some guy on the GWS board claiming that we are trading Reid plus a third rounder for pick 1 in the mini draft with Reid to be announced as a GWS player with Ward on Wednesday

Can't see this happening, but wow if it did.

Reid is definitely going to the GWS with Ward. Not sure about the details but Ward and Reid booked their room at the GWS acadamy many weeks ago according to a Reid family member.

Reid + third rounder, for the no.1 17 year old kid. That's a win-win for both clubs, right? Sigh -- it really is a business now.

Had to read your question twice -- I thought you meant Board like Smorgon etc., and thought, of course they have a Board.

I'm as surprised as you that they have an online bulletin board.

I couldn't sign that deal quick enough.. Sincerely doubt it's true, but would do it in a heartbeat.

Fingers firmly crossed. The deal doesn't sound as simple as Ward jumping ship - looks like ther are extras.

We could actually do very well out of this - one very good player and one fringe player could become two very good players (and the four 17 year olds are said to have talent to burn - any one of them would be an awesome deal for us).

I understand that there's 3 registered but they don't see, speak or hear anything.

I'd be happy with the number 4 17 year old in that draft.

Re: Callan Ward jumps Bulldogs ship to join GWS

Very glad I got to jeer him and vent some frustration at his selection on the weekend now it is all out. Won't mean much to Callan but I hope he really understands the cost of his decision in terms of respect from the fans and his brand as a 'good kid.'

Shameful that Dogs fans were sold false hope of keeping him and were denied the opportunity to express their feelings to Ward in a public fashion, just as they have through supporting him for the time he was with us. Not that many would have taken up the offer by the sounds of it, apparently they signed up for Callan Ward Football Club memberships this season, not Footscray ones.

Re: Callan Ward jumps Bulldogs ship to join GWS

Makes me laugh a bit when there is so much hand wringing about Ward jumping ship(myself included), but Reid for number one 17 year old pick and it s see you later, where do we sign.

Re: Callan Ward jumps Bulldogs ship to join GWS

I think Dermie summed it up best when he said the system is wrong if Callan is getting the same pay as Chris Judd.he also said he will be remembered as overpaid footballer.
