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

[doggies ftw]

Pass mark for mine is to be a monty for the rising star but have it stolen off him by a dime a dozen midget midfielder

 

[boydsno1]

Im not gonna lie. I would be dissapointed if he plays VFL next year. Best place to devolp is the seniors. Had his 9 games this year next year he should be pushing to play every game. 22 goals + would be a good start.

That one is pure gold! Lol.

Has anyone considered that he needs to earn his spot in the team first before we start talking about how many goals he will kick...?

Arhh no. This is bigger than him needing to earn his spot. This is about giving members hope, creating excitment, getting 50/50 supporters on board. The club need to run with this as much as possible.

He will play from round 1 make no mistake about that. A goal or two a game and a big target is all we really need. Supporters will be patient but they want to see him.

Keep in mind there is a good chance Cameri wont be there in round 1.

 

[maddog37]

40 goals plus if he stays fit.

 

[Metal]

I'd take the pressure right off him and allow his body to develop into a shape that can withstand sustained and robust contact. I want to see that he has surety of movement, agility in landing and turning, and can maintain pace. I would expect nothing of him for a year, as he will be working hard on developing his forward craft (at Footscray, if necessary) and acclimatising to our forward line. I would not ask him to be the focal point until we are certain he has the fitness and awareness to be very confident in his body. My concern is, if we expect too much of him and play him too early, his body may suffer as well as his confidence. I want him to be gradually developed, as we have with other players, so that he is really match hardened and raring to go when he makes his debut for us.

30 isn't out of the question at all, but would be a good result. Strings got 22 in his last 9 games. It's doable.

 

[Testekill]

I'd say that a pass mark would be in the 15-20 goals range. Get him settled in and you can't expect a ton out of a 19yo KPF. That should come down to hopefully about 1, maybe 1.5 goals a game if we're lucky.

IMO he will play most games next year (unless injury) with a few rests here and there. And whilst only a second year player will immediately provide more than Jones did.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

I'm looking for about a goal a game, give or take a couple tenths. He has the talent to do that, even as the #1 KPF. I'll be disappointed with anything less, but don't expect massive numbers. 30 is a stretch.

FFS when will this club stop accepting mediocrity... no brownlow in there...

 

[Dale4captain]

I'd have him kicking half the goals that Crammers does. If Crameri can kick 35-40, then I'd expect Boyd to kick 15-20. If Stringer can kick 30, then Boyd will kick 20ish. If these three can combine for 80 goals next year, that'll be a great result.

Whose name no-one can remember barely a month later.

Kevin Bartlett or Cameron Ling? Lol

So we've seen that horrible photo of Griffen in a GWS top and I spewed when I saw Cooney in that horrible red and black, where the publicity photos of Boyd in RW+B?

He's on holiday.

 

[Tommycash]

As long as he is better than Jones he has a pass for me!

Jones' stats in 2014

• Games Played 10
• • Kicks 5.9
  • Handballs 4.1
  • Disposals 10.0
  • Marks 3.5
• • Hit-Outs 1.3
  • Tackles 1.9
  • Goals 1.2
  • AFL Fantasy 51.4

• Scoring. 19 goals, 12 behinds.

I think Boyd will do better than that.

Boyd doesn't get knee injuries. Knees get Boyd injuries.

This is why I shouldn't have internet access when I'm tired.

Someone put this boy in cotton wool until day 1 pre-season.

That's a little bit far-fetched. If he didn't win the Norm Smith, but contributed, then i'd be prepared to say we give him another season.

[dogwatch]

Probably just as well Macca is gone. He'd have Boyd playing CHB in the VFL most of the season so can learn how to be a forward and iron out a few things in his game.
