Callan Ward

A giant among Giants, Ward will go down as the first true great of GWS. Played his 300th game early in the season. Moved to the wing on occasions to allow the next wave their midfield minutes but the team walked taller when he was at the coalface. Signed a new one-year contract for 2025 and given he turns 35 in April you wonder if there is just one chance left to get the flag he richly deserves.

Honours

GWS best and fairest (2012), GWS 2nd best and fairest (2013, 2014 (equal), 2017, 2018), GWS 3rd best and fairest (2015), All-Australian squad (2014, 2016, 2018), AFLPA most courageous player (2018), AFL Rising Star nominee (2009), Western Bulldogs pre-season premiership (2010), International Rules Series (2011); GWS co-captain (2012-2019)
