Still no deal for Jarrad Grant. He's "looking at his options" as an UFA.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-09-14/still-no-deal-for-dog-grant

WESTERN Bulldogs forward Jarrad Grant could exercise his free agency rights, with the club yet to offer him a new contract.

The 26-year-old is an unrestricted free agent, meaning the Bulldogs would not be able to prevent him from leaving the club if he chose to do so.

Grant's manager, Anthony McConville, said his client would explore all available options after not being approached by the Bulldogs.

"Jarrad Grant hasn't been offered a contract and at this stage of the season you have to think it's unlikely," McConville told Channel Nine on Monday night.

"With this uncertainty, he's got to be looking at options."

Even a 3rd / 4th round compo pick will be handy with the recruiting staff we have. That could turn into the Coughlan pick...

Wow! Well spoken Bont.

I'm the opposite of you doggies ftw - he's made me can't wait until we go again!
Yeah don't get me wrong he was great but I think I've just completely blanketed out footy since saturday night and seeing highlights for pretty much the first time has done it :(

Yeah, I understand. I've got a long wait anyway, lol. Just want next year's fixture so I can organise a trip away to the sun - whether that be Cairns or not remains to be seen.

I freakin love that man, so proud of him. That should settle a few arguments I've been having over best captain and hopefully All Australian captain. How can people not see what a great leader he is and how much he epitomises our club.

I honestly hate how journalists are saying "many people didn't think the Bulldogs would make the eight" or "very few expected this from the Dogs" blah blah. I might be a little bitter still but NO ONE gave us a chance outside of doggies supporters, and even then many of us doubted it would happen too. They're just trying to save some face, but it really ticks me off. You guys got it wrong big time, own up to it.

After similar preseason predictions...
Saints win six games: C+
We win 14 games: B
They really need to fix up their grading system
I just don't see how St Kilda's season was in any way, shape or form a C+.

They're still getting plenty from Riewoldt and Montagna, Steven, Bruce and Armitage stepped up in a big way, they've got experience all over the ground and there are good kids in there.

They've got the list profile of a top eight side and they're celebrating a six win season. It makes no sense. Frauds.

Disclaimer for lurkers:
No, I'm not salty about Round 6 or the prelims and no, I don't buy into any contrived rivalry because we've both achieved little as clubs. You're just another club out there, your season objectively sucked, and your lack of ambition bewilders me.

Not many teams would rate a B losing to Melbourne, St Kilda and Brisbane
and winning 11 out of 14 at the one ground, glass half full Badger.
Honeychurch for president, viva el presidente.

I'm not complaining about our rating, I'm baffled by theirs.

Viva el Honeybadger 2040.
