Age: 19yr 2mth
Games: 9
Born: August 22, 1995
Height: 201cm
Weight: 102kg
Position: Forward
Last Drafted: Round 1, Pick #1 2013 National Draft
Last Drafted By: GWS Giants

Tom Boyd entered the 2014 trade period with just nine senior games under his belt, but emerged less than two weeks later near the top of the AFL's rich list.
The 2013 No.1 pick joined the Western Bulldogs on a seven-year contract understood to be worth about $7 million.

It's a staggering show of faith in an unproven 19-year-old, but the Bulldogs needed to salvage something after captain Ryan Griffen walked out on the club and requested a trade to GWS.

GWS say that they have no hard feelings for Tom Boyd despite the No.1 draft pick leaving the club after only one season.
"Tom stated that he wanted to go home and probably didn't want to be a part of what this club is actually building," GWS coach Leon Cameron said.

"We wish Tom all the best, he's a fantastic young kid and he's going to be a very, very good player for that footy club."

I am just wondering if he is worth the money ...o_O
BTW not a troll

Early stages but it looks like he will be.

Has created plenty of goals this year. More so than anyone else on the list. Unless you watch the Dogs every week you probably won't notice it because bringing the ball to ground doesn't get put on the stat sheet.

Kicked 15 goals in 3 games in vfl and redpath didn't do too well against north so I hope to see him return against brisbane
