That has to be the most laughable and delusional footy headline in a while and that's saying something.
Cotch - future captain, loves the club and as others have said had the chance previously to chase the $$$ if he was interested but knocked it back.
Lids - signed up to 2017. One club player.
Martin - lived once in Western Sydney and hated it.
Jack - loves the club and standing in front of the cheer squad.
What's more GWS are living with the fairies if they think playing in front of crowds of just 7k in the middle of nowhere surburbia for a franchise with no history that won't play finals for 4-5 years compares with a traditional big 4 Victorian club playing in front of massive vocal support at the 'G most weeks that will play finals if not next year then definitely the year after. Sure Scully and Ward chased the cash but they were playing for small clubs with poor resources which were both heading south for a major rebuilding phase. In Scully's case he left a rabble of a club on and off-field.
If GWS want "payback" they can take Daniel Jackson. He's out of contract next year and will be a free agent
. I know all us Tiger supporters would be devastated to see him poached
