You're right, that was harsh. He should be a solid contributor at AFL level in time.

I think they made the wrong call though. They need a dominant key back, Marchbank won't be that guy. Lever might be, and if any club was in a position to take a chance on his knee it was GWS.
I think you're off the mark with Marchbank.

Heard from a respectable GWS person that Ward wants to come home to the dogs. Never wanted to leave just couldn't say no to the money. Expect a first round pick get the job done. Welcome home Wardy.

A respectable rumourmonger eh stringbag ..... from GWS no less, that's so believable. A GWS type spreading negative GWS rumours, or a Bullies type attempting to run an anti GWS line? Nothing respectable in sight :thumbsu: even the stringbag is a dud !!

yep he isn't 20 years old or anything, oh what the dees would give to cure their cancer...
I know we would give the world to have a good 20 year old KPF, oh wait...............
 
C'mon...You don't want one of the better players in the comp in your side?
He left us when we were in the shit, how would the rest of the boys that stuck around feel to see Ward walk back into the joint when were up near the top again, and probably take the place of someone loyal. **** him, honestly wouldnt take him back for free.

Anyway he wont be free he will cost a hell of a lot and putting aside the whole him ****ing us over dealio we have a very very good inside brigade, the money and trade assets we'd need to get him could be much bettered used elsewhere.

Great player yes, one of the best in the comp? not quite.

So Ward coming back wouldnt be seen the same way? Weird.

Just to add. Its garbage that he wants to go back.
Nope, he ****ed over his mates at the club, something Boyd did not do to our players. Ward also wouldnt be absolutely necessary for ultimate success. If we dont win a premiership this time around it certainly wont be because we didnt have more inside midfielder depth.
 
Happy to have him back if there is any truth to the rumour, but we don't really need him anymore, so wouldn't want to give too much for him.

Would be your best player IMO, Bont and Stringer could go past him but round 1 2017 it would be him then maybe Libba. Every side can do with a Callan Ward.

We don't need Callan Ward. Removing his history to our club to one side and if he was a F/A (so didn't cost anything in terms of a trade) then yes we would snap him up. But our inside mid stocks (particularly for the future are better than most). He just ain't needed in comparison to a ruck or some more high quality KPPs.

Not to mention we always draft well in terms of inside mids. Its our spine/ruck stocks thats always been the big ??

FWIW I think 99% would argue Stringer is a better player than Ward. And yes I mean right now as one is an AA and the other is not.
 
Nope, he stuffed over his mates at the club, something Boyd did not do to our players. Ward also wouldnt be absolutely necessary for ultimate success. If we dont win a premiership this time around it certainly wont be because we didnt have more inside midfielder depth.
Why because he transfered to a different location for his employer?

Hardly.
Do you stuff your mates over when you change jobs or locations?

The majority of your list and the AFL in general would have done the same thing if that much cash was thrown at them. The fact that a player with so much history at a club like Gary Ablett could leave Geelong shows that any player can.

You might be personally trying to take some high road, which looks ridiculous given your support of Boyd, but you can guarantee both the club and players would welcome him back very quickly.
