GWS captain Toby Greene had a playful message for players who have chosen lucrative offers elsewhere, following Finn Callaghan’s recent decision to remain with the club, forgoing a chance to become the highest-paid player in the AFL. Callaghan’s choice signals confidence in the future of the Giants after their disappointing semi-final loss to the Lions last season.
Greene lauded Callaghan’s loyalty and belief in the club, reflecting on past player departures, including notable names like Jeremy Cameron and Adam Treloar. Callaghan acknowledged various attractive contract offers but emphasised his desire to stay at GWS, citing extensive consideration and discussions with his family. He expressed satisfaction in quickly reaching an agreement with the club.
The disappointing end to the previous season has instilled renewed motivation within the team, according to Callaghan. He has channelled his frustration into training, constantly aiming to improve and ensure the Giants can perform better during critical moments in future matches. Callaghan remains optimistic about the upcoming season and is determined for the team to return to finals contention.
