WARD JUMPS BULLDOG SHIP TO JOIN GWS

[PeterJames 46]

Interesting Ward going, having grown up in the Western suburbs. not good news for the doggies. All the talk was he was going and that the Bullies had almost accepted it. We have kept fighting to keep Scully.

[7-UP 107]

But the thing is Ward hasn't made up his mind when the news broke out about gws offer and has been playing fantastic footy for bulldogs, maybe Rodney Eade been sacked and Bulldogs missing Finals mght have motivated his decision to leave.

I have to say right now even though we had a bad season we are ahead of bulldogs right now, and they are going to be in rebuilding phase starting next year so that might be the main reason ward decide to take the cash and run.

good on him. its really not a tough decision and the same goes for scully. people will bag him for being disloyal and so on. yesterday i accepted a job that pays me almost double what i have been earning. it makes life a whole lot easier and buying fast toys a whole lot easier congratulations to them

golly.....am shocked

[PeterJames 46]

James Fantasia on SEN reckons article is bogus and they think he will stay. Pretty ordinary reporting you would think with one game left. He would have had to be %100 otherwise it's a dog act.

Interesting if Ward plays this weekend.

Yes, where there is smoke there is fire.

Walker and Carlisle will be leaving for GWS soon too...(Rolling Eye emoticon)

Mock all you like..the more some names are eliminated, the more likely others become. .

And strangely..smoke does indeed often come from fire.(laughs and those with head in sand emoticon)

Head in the sand.

Really, BB?

You want to tie yourself to ADC on this one?

Scully may leave - no head in the sand there.

I just believe the kid on the fact he hasn't signed already.

We will see in few weeks...

So, RPFC, as you and I are in the minority that actually believe Scully's word, and are accused of having our head in the sand, do we really think the footy club would go through a season keeping their head in the sand too? I'm of the understanding that the Club believe that Scully will sign. We could be in a lot of trouble if our Admin & FD bury their heads over issues like this...

Hard to describe how dumbfounding this post is ...

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,534]

The journo might turn out to be correct, but there is nothing in The Age story which is watertight confirmation that Ward will leave. It is more prediction masquerading as "in the know" because "sources" have said it's true. Until Ward, his Manager, the Bulldogs or GWS actually announce that it's happening, everything else is merely prognostication - which sort of rhymes with another word meaning the journo has got his hand on it.

For what it's worth, I think he will go to GWS - but I'm not claiming that I have any inside information or "sources" telling me anything.

Oh come on Old..your not illiterate. You choose to think its all nicey nicey and no-ones going anywhere. That simply flies in the face of the construct the AFL have built and the fuel it provides to happen. It was never possible for all the 'names' to go but the closer we get to the pointy end of the season the more focused it becomes on who is.

Bang on. It's not about rejecting the notion that he may leave, it's rejecting the notion that he has already left and therefore everything he's said is a lie.

[beelzebub 22,734]

funny...thought we were talking about Callan ..lol. But l suppose like others he ( CW) hasnt committed to his team either.

Going to be an interesting Monday..or Tuesday..or.lol

The clear difference being Ward and Scully had/have acknowledged massive offers on the table.

[Guest Gareth Keenan]

Although he may eventually leave, I wouldn't be too quick on the draw with Callan Ward...

(let alone Scully)

[Craig Drinker 179]

Why do we care where Callan Ward goes???? Was he supposed to be coming to us???

[Demonic Ascent 0]

It's this narrow-minded rubbish that makes me laugh.

I could make similar comments about being ignorant however I won't.

He's known all year what's on the table. Do you seriously think he hasn't thought about where he will play next year thoroughly? It would have been impossible not to contemplate.

Knowing what his options are does not mean he has made a decision.

He may have thought about it, he may have contemplated it, and my be leaning one way or another, but do seriously not understand that his decision might not yet be made?

Why are you incapable of this sort of logical thinking..?

It's narrow-minded to assume he is lying based on the fact that you wish he'd made his mind up by now.

About as much as your latest alias makes me laugh e45/Artie/skidmark

You don't have to like a poster, Thomo.

But this 'skidmark' stuff is on the nose.

No pun intended.

I thought that I had read that both of these had signed with their current clubs..

Right so your reasoning goes something like this ...

- the media says there's 5 players Scully, Carlisle, Ward, Russell, Walker gone to GWS

- as it turns out some of them definitely aren't gone to GWS e.g. Carlisle, Walker, in fact they've re-signed with their clubs

- therefore the ones that are left on the list are even more certain to be going to GWS

yeah right, that's hangonesque!

It's narrow-minded to assume he is lying based on the fact that you wish he'd made his mind up by now.

or he may have made up his mind ages ago. Even your logic will have to concede that as an option. In so much as you purport he hasnt made a decision, the opposite must surely be true also.
