    Ryan Griffen: I'd Never Leave

    Scott Gullan - Herald Sun - 3 September

    RYAN Griffen has pledged his loyalty to the Western Bulldogs, declaring he wanted to win a premiership at the Whitten Oval.

    The star midfielder, who signed a two-year contract extension, revealed he'd never considered returning home to Adelaide.

    "I never ever thought about going home, to be honest," Griffen told the Herald Sun. "I have been here for six years now and I'm extremely happy".

                      On ya Griff!
                      Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                              Excellent!!

                              Great that we have been able to sign both Cooney & Griffen up this year..... Signing Harbrow up would top it off, but that's looking unlikely.

                                  The only questionable thing to me is why only 2 years. A player of his calibre should be a minimum 3 year contract.

                                      I would think that would be player and manager driven. His next contract will be his biggest as he'll be around 26 and in his prime.
                                      More of an In Bruges guy?

                                          I'm tipping that wasn't our choice. Thats when he should be at his peak and able to command the most money in his career.
                                          I should leave it alone but you're not right

                                              His last contact was two years as well, so maybe that's just how he likes to do it.

                                                  When does free-agency start, and what are the minimum qualfications for a player to qualify? Is it 8 years service? If so then at the end of this contract he would be eligible, and would no doubt be in a much stronger position negotiation wise.
