2013 Player Profile: Callan Ward

[elephants]

Callan Ward - GWS Giants

Position: MID

Price: $459,500 (Fanplanner)

2011 Games: 22

2012 Games: 20

2011 Average: 81.7

2012 Average: 97.4

2012 Tons: 11!

Summary: After languishing on the Doggies list for a while the hard nut really stepped up last year, arguably to the Bulldogs detriment. A massive 18 point jump last year and one wouldn't be ignored to suggest such a leap again this year. Has excellent extraction skills and as the Giants young midfield improve (and possibly another big recruit signs on) Ward will get the help he has so desperately needed at time this year.

Verdict: Not for me... Yet. Will be a premiership captain one day in my opinion but not enough improvement in the Giants next year to warrant a place.

Ele's prediction: He'll clock over 100 ppg - 105.

I like having captains in my team seeing as they will rarely let you down, however there are better options than Ward.

Hahaha annoying hey. We should get more slots for them and less for fwds/backs ;D

[Ricochet]

is still behind a fair few guys that will push 110 averages next year so not for me yet

[EZA100]

very good player, but couldn't look past the likes of cotchin, beams, swan, ablett and watson.

[/////////////////////////]

He tackles heaps so he will push 110. Lock.

[Shihan7]

He is a gun, but there are way better options in the mids.

I regretted not picking him up this season as I thought he would explode a little and what do you know he did.
Good player, very gutsy and I like his playing style a lot.
As a DT'er will not make my team as the only players from GWS to maybe make my team next season will be rookies(and thats a huge MAYBE).

[elephants]

With all the potential for mid-price midfielders and the number of extra trades... I'm almost thinking of this bloke... Almost. Will explode at some point and all the kids he was surrounded by last season are stronger and wiser... Mmmm. Maybe in 2014 he will be super-premium..

I... Ahhh, yes. What a coincidence :P

Thought I would revive some of my profiles I did in early October to see if anyone is punting on the blokes that looked decent 4 months ago.

Now we know why Ele stupidly forgot to nominate for Elxam, was to busy helping VS develop a new fantasy structure for 2013, posting about DT spuds and earning 10 000 posts, please tell us you aren't responsible for the 44 trades Le?

Why you're at it please replace all the board at Chelsea and be the sole representative for the team? You could even higher me as the senior Manager ;D couldn't do any worse ???

Hahahah spot on mate! Nope, 44 trades wasn't me, that was Jim. He's a dick :P

I'll work on it mate, currently in talks with Atletico Madrid about a Torres-Falcao straight swap and getting Mourinho to sign a long term deal. Working on it all though ;)
