Official Club Stuff Official: Tom Boyd officially a Bulldog for Griffen & Pick 6

[dogwatch]

Damn ... Tom Boyd's coronation at VUWO would have been headline news all over the country if not for Whitlam. After 98 years surely Gough could've done the decent thing and held out another day? Doesn't he talk to Julia?

As much as I am excited today by TB arriving at VUWO, I am greatly saddened by the passing of EGW.

And for some context - Gough was 18 years away from the prime-ministership, and 38 years old, when we last won a flag. After a 60-year wait, "It's Time"...

Yes it's time!

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Works fine for me.

Same. Who did he say was his best mate?

He and the Rat were at Willy State School, getting out there amongst the kids already, great stuff.

 

[Fossie 32]

Works fine for me.

No 'the' in the first link

 

[Fossie 32]

Hmm curious. It was Boyd walking into the weightsroom/having a chat with Hrovat and a bit of a chat. I'll try and find it again.

This work for anyone else? http://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/video/2014-10-21/tom-arrives-at-the-kennel

Thanks, nice one

Im guessing with his contract, he will be doing a hell of a lot of promotional work for the club

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Can we start next season yet?

 

[Doggies7]

Friday night game against the Giants please.

Agree. And couldn't the ALP could do with a Gough right now!
I can remember the "It's Time" campaign. I was a 20 yo and already had my conscription papers (deferred while I did uni). It was my first opportunity to vote... it was a no-brainer!

 

[dogsofwar]

To be honest, I'm just as impressed with Tom Boyd as a speaker as I am with him as a physical specimen.

He knew what to say in response to all the questions thrown at him, how to deflect them/stay neutral. I know these guys get media coaching, but for a 19 year old to come across as level headed and balanced as he did, he's a natural.

'Well may we say "God save the Queen", because nothing will save GWS'

Yes.... not much to celebrate for that anniversary apart from the Tomminator signing - maybe it's an omen.

Round 1 GWS vs Bulldogs
Etihad i reckon

 

[ossie_21]

Can't wait for Boyd to lay out all the GWS defenders predictably sent to rough him up before the bounce. They so silly

 

[doggies ftw]

I just want to watch this kid play footy, in a bulldogs jumper

It's just a box quinella

Yeah, its 12.

Handled it like a pro. Judging by today he'll get us plenty of new junior and senior supporters and members over the next few years.

A Friday night game against ANYONE please.

Luckily my birthday didn't come up in the birthday ballot for national service, but if it had Gough would have saved me.

Back in 1973 a few weeks after I began as a new public servant the magnificent man gave us a huge pay rise, a 36 3/4 hr week, 4 weeks annual leave with leave loading, maternity leave and shorter period to qualify for long service leave (no wonder there were budget problems ). And I have been forever grateful.

Vale Gough

 

[ManOfClay]

Anyone else get an ivan drago vibe from Boyd.

Can picture him shaking hands with an opponent before the game and coldly stating "I must break you"

 

[Dogsman16]

Going to get Eric Mackenzie first up in his first game for the club at home. I can see the eagles as being a winnable game this season. No glass and Cox and they havent added to the midfield at all. Might be a chance round 1.

 

[Kennel Master]

Impressive young man. I like what I've seen and heard today.
He seems to have a steely resolve to go with his footy skills.
Interesting times ahead!
