Re: Callan Ward jumps Bulldogs ship to join GWS

and Beasly F/S (who will turn out to be a quality forward in this fantasy scenario) with our 3rd rounder.

I thought Beasley's son gave up on footy?

Its my fantasy. He changes his mind, rededicates himself to the game and becomes a gun, OK? you got a problem with that?

By way of comparison, I highly doubt Darren Gasper is bothered by being the highest paid defender of his era.

Personally, I remember him as the guy who had to take his pillow on interstate trips because he was allergic to everything.

You remember him for his allergies?

I remember him for the thirty whacks he received from the ugly stick.

What a surprise!

After wrestling with the decsion for a gut wrenching 12 months he'll finally decide to take the money the week after the season finishes. What a *!*!*!*!ing joke!

Was done a long time ago.

Wish Dustin Martin played for us, really disappointed in the decision.

Malthouse chiming in on the subject of compensation...

----------
"I wouldn’t be as optimistic as what Footscray think they are… I think young Ward is a very good footballer, but you’re dealing with one of the greats of the game (Gary Ablett) getting two (draft picks)."[/I].

Just off topic, but Malthouse STILL calling us Footscray really annoys me. I vote our new coach insists on calling them Carringbush.

Hopefully it is that soon enough.

Re: Callan Ward jumps Bulldogs ship to join GWS

It's probably the most stupid rumour I've heard all year.

We will lose:
Ward
Reid

We will get:
Tier 2 compensation pick
VFL player or 3rd round pick


Any talk of one of GWS's 17yos is ridiculous.

They have 4 that they must trade or lose over two years. I understand they only intend to trade off two this year.

Every other club has the option to bid for either of these picks with GWS deciding who holds the winning bid.

Jaeger O'Meara is being touted as one of the best kids in a decade and you think every other club will give him to us for Reid?


We would have to start the bidding with Jones and then add something else.

You're totally right but "what if".......

Out : Ward, Reid

In : O'Meara, Dangerfield (for one of our 2 Ward picks), A Cooney-Double (for the other Ward pick)

O.... M......G what a deal

(Need some happy thoughts ATM)

We've traded as "Western Bulldogs" for how long? For many, that's the only name they've ever known. Malthouse is smugly harking back to our past - a time, coincidentally, when he lleft us and buggered off to Perth.

You must be joking !!
When was the last time you walked around Footscray ?
We need to be associated with a much bigger demographics and area.
If we remain Footscray we will go the way of Yarraville.

I grew up a Footscray supporter and was so relieved when we became the Western Bulldogs.

I always find it is said with a negative connotation. If someone is talking disparagingly about the club - they often refer to us as 'Footscray'. Grant Thomas loves to do it. And I bet most 'WOOFers' have a mate or two that call us 'Footscray' if they are giving us a bit of a ribbing about the club or the history of the club.

I suspect Malthouse is being quite deliberate about calling us 'Footscray' for whatever reason.
