Re: Callan Ward jumps Bulldogs ship to join GWS
TCD any chance you can put the picture against the background of empty stands so we can get a perspective of how he'll look next year?

Re: Callan Ward jumps Bulldogs ship to join GWS
You know I have watched some real champions leave us over the years. In the 70's and 80's it was a joke losing several brownlow medallists and others players going on to win one. Some how I am immune to Ward leaving, I am disappointed but I am also looking forward to getting drfat picks and hopefully we get two 1st rounders and add that to our first rounder in 2012 we could have some good kids in 2013.
The ones that pissed me off:
Dempsey
Quinlan
Round
Tempelton
Wilson (after winning two brownlows)
Edmond
Hardie
Nathan Brown
Harbrow and now Ward.
Have I missed any.FFC: Established 1883

Re: Callan Ward jumps Bulldogs ship to join GWS
I am copying and pasting a post of mine from another thread because it belongs here more (and I am the king of self promotion)
My only issue with dropping Ward is if he either deluding himself into thinking he might stay and sees us dropping him as one reason to go or he just flat out conveniently uses it as an excuse to leave to his mates. I know it wouldn't work on the fans but you're always biased to your mates and it could affect morale.
One thing I gotta say that annoys me is this view that anyone would leave in Ward's situation. I am sure I am not alone but I am qualified to work in two industries and I have selected a job that gets me much less pay because I actually love it and the place I work. I am not trying to be self righteous and really don't blame people who value money really highly when it comes to work, just that not EVERYONE is like that.
Also, the 'twice' as much argument is BS IMO. I think there is a much bigger difference lifestyle wise between earning say $50k p.a and $100k than their is between earning $450 k and $950. I have heard comments about Ward having a chance to 'buy a house' and all that if he goes to GWS. If you can't live comfortably on $450k than he is dumber than I thought.
One more thing. I don't and won't really hate Ward but 'poor Callan' calls? Please, spare me. Anyone who uses 'poor' or feels sorry for him due to the scenario is seriously extremely naive.Comment

Re: Callan Ward jumps Bulldogs ship to join GWS
It's a family joke that my mother, who's as passionate as they come, has always put a 'curse' on players that leave. It started when she predicted that Dempsey, who left to play in a 'successful club' would never play in a premiership. She kept vowing no player who left us would taste success. It got a bit creepy when Templeton did his knee, and when Brown broke his leg...

Re: Callan Ward jumps Bulldogs ship to join GWS
May I add Tony McGuinness to the roll call?
Also granted quite different circumstances and included more for its topical relevance but having to witness Leon Cameron run around for that Punt Road rabble wasn't exactly a joy.BORDERLINE FLYINGComment

Western Suburbs Voodo - Interesting!
How does she actually do it? Grind up some bulldog hair and water from the Maribynong in a plastic replica of the 54 trophy...evoke the ghost of EJ...Macbethian Images spring to mind...
