Callan Ward jumps Bulldogs ship to join GWS

Re: Callan Ward jumps Bulldogs ship to join GWS

Thats just crap and you know it.

Its the single fault of James Fantasia is it? how the hell do you know that?
Please provide some proof that it is his direct fault or cut out the direct conjecture rubbish.

Its a collective football department problem/mistake. Why wasn't Ward signed on a longer contract that would take him past this period? James as the manager of that department will gladly bask in the glories.....this then is a low he needs to take responsibility for. If Ward has gone, he should be shown the door.

HaHa. Pigs might fly eh?

I've never heard that expression before! I like it.
2011 has been F*** Miserable. Started by getting dacked by Essendon.
Ward / Eade / Injuries.
And now, the tedium of a long off season with no footy at all!
but, at least I can chant LIBBA again...never tire of that.

Lots of negatives for 2011, but also some positives:

* Libba - as you mentioned
* Dahlhaus - excitement
* Introducing 14 new players including 10 debutantes
* Game time for a future KPP Jones, as well as Roughead and Wood
* Beating Carlton

and possibly two first round picks for Ward.

I dunno but I hope someone bloody signs up Dahlhaus for well beyond this period. Can't take another year of this frankly - and that goes for all our players.

So explain why Swallow stayed at North?
Explain why Martin stayed at Richmond?
Bucketloads of money me thinks not!
Ward is a liar, all that Bullshit about being near mates,and home.
Just utter utter Lies!

Swallow? I dont know. thats Christians for you

Martin I think was simply mesmerized by Miller, in whose house he was living at the time he re-signed. But who knows?

I love your optimism BAD, but really is a huge low point right now. Hard times ahead I'm afraid.

Religious slurs aside, it's not even Christians, the theory relates to Catholics.

This. If we get two first rounders with finishing low next year our fall will be very short lived. We will rise again!

Ward is hardly Judas.

Good luck Callan but agree with many, he should not be in the team this week.

As bad as Judas....at least. I hope he has as much success as N Brown did when he jumped ship......

Re: Callan Ward jumps Bulldogs ship to join GWS

I believe it should be the players decision not the fans or the match committee's.
If the players don't want him on the field then he shouldn't play.

Totally Disagree GVGjnr

I don't see how it's the players choice. The priority is to the game at hand.
If he goes, and it seems a Fait accompli, then Ward is no longer one of us in spirit
Like last week, his heart will not clearly be in it.
In order to win the game, we need committed players. It's up to the coach and match committee to do everything they can to win that game. Everyone seems to think it's already in the bag. Games are lost like that. Look at Essendon V Port last week. Near thing for the bombles.

We want to win, play to win, and must field the bulldogs that care about the result. The MC ( If, as everyone says, he is a goner ) are negligent if they play him

What do we think it is?

Tasteless racism which should be removed.

Ok, just reread it. Got it now.

Re: Callan Ward jumps Bulldogs ship to join GWS

I hate to be Mr glass half empty. But I Die a little when I hear all the posts about draft picks for giving up Ward.
We selected Ward from a compensation or trade pick from a player we gave up. Then we took on the gamble, put the hard yards in, developed a future gun and right when he hits his straps........ someone takes him away and then (if we are lucky) we get a couple more picks that may or may not develop into half the footballer Ward is.
What are we? A "Feeder team" to the other clubs??
Quick sign everyone who shows something to ten year contracts. Make Dolly sign a 15yr one to be safe.

Love it.

You know what's great though -- if we keep splitting these first round draft picks into two picks after a couple of years of development (two into four, four into eight, etc. etc.), we may end up with a whole team made up of first round draft picks in 2026.
