For "lesser" player, he and Picken have been sensational (and I mean easily in our best 10) for the last 6 weeks.
Really good.
Really good.
Yep very impressive for a 19 year old. Puts his body on the line and has skills and composure.

Yep, even though he didn't have a lot of the ball he also had 7 tackles, loving the hard efforts from the young guys in the team.
ward was great think he had 10 tackles was it, missed a easy set shot at goal in the last, but had a great game. Best trade it will work out, McMahon the hack out and we get Ward

Terrific game from Cal Ward. He could always find the ball, but every week he is getting better at breaking tackles and disposing of the pill. Something really special in that boy.

I'm thinkin hes a big chance for the rising star
Thanks, but surely you're not suggesting that he is better than the Great Jordan McMahon whom we traded for him?
Anyone happen to have a comparison on stats between Ward and Rich?
Wards attack at the contest is uncompromising. He and Picken have been the two ingredients in this years team that have made them much better than 2008 - a hard as nails midfielder and a tagger.
...and Reid's not bad either!

Wards' ability to run hard has improved; he knows when to try to break the tackle now; his disposal continues to improve; his intent and willingness to put his head over the ball is unquestioned; he seems popular with other players and is a team player, prepared to shepherd, bump and knock-on to other's advantage.
We are fortunate to have a quality kid like this on our list. Well done Clayton and well done Cal Ward!

2 years ago I waxed lyrical about the excitement Shaun Higgins gave me. This bloke is only a few inches behind. Higgins & Ward.... now THATS a combo to take us into the future.

I saw him early last year at Williamstown tackle a tough looking senior guy who was rolling on the ground in pain after Cal slammed him into the deck, he then proceeded to bend down and tell him how soft he was with a look of utter disdain on his face. From that moment I was preaching to everyone I could find about how good this kid is going to be. Mongrel like that is natural and cant be taught.
In the mould of Simon Black, here's hoping he reaches those heights!

Interesting to look back on Rockets comments about Ward at the start of the year and rocket said it was up to him, he needed to apply himself and get his attitude right. Seems that he has come along way from the start of the season.
Anyone with an inside knowledge have any thing to add as to why he has turned it around so much this year. Any mentors he has down their or a player/coach that has taken him under there wing. They deserve alot of credit also.
Well done Cal Ward, keep up the good work.
