Nah that was a campaigner mate. Mate
Yep. A bit like the Dogs trading Griffen and pick 7 or whatever to GWS to get Boyd on $1M per season when they could have drafted Peter Wright that year, who’s a significantly better forward.Bit early for this, but hopefully it doesn't burn us to look back and see the guy who went at pick seven would have been perfect.
In 30 years, I think I’ll still be ******* pissed about the Neeld saga.

Did any of Micks coaches work out? gave em all glowing reviews to turn out rubbishHow on earth did this guy operate with such an amazing reputation at Collingwood only to come to us and act like such a ******* dickhead?

They got extremely lucky that he played one good game that day to justify the trade because it was a colossal failure in every other way. If that game had been fairly umpired the result would have been different no matter how well Boyd played.Dogs won a flag and Boyd was just about the best player on the ground. Trade won.

Cmon man. That's rubbish.Ifs and buts.......I wouldn’t care if I was a dogs supporter if boyd was delisted at the end of the year. He just about single handidly won the game for them. The trade was completely justified because they won the premiership
Cmon man. That's rubbish.
Boyd in absolutely no way had any real hand in getting them there. I know because I watched him at Whitten Oval for most of the year being decidedly average in the VFL.
To say his finals series was a miraculous alignment of stars, deities and aurora would be an understatement.
This was a guy on a million a year or thereabouts playing, and struggling, in the twos. And that's when he was fit and not injured or battling mental conditions.
They in no way came close to winning that trade all things considered. This BS argument of 'Oh if it gets us a flag blah blah' is ridiculous. How have the dogs gone since? They got an armchair ride the whole year paying an AFL-approved game style and rode on the back of some of the most spectacularly fortunate umloring for most of the year. And good on em. They were in the right place at the right time and battled injuries too.
Since then though, Boyd has barely made it past the white line and the dogs havent looked close to a top 8 side let alone contenders.
I desire way more than one flag. I want a dynasty, where our club builds upon smart decisions and savvy tactics on and off the field to bring success. How many other options were overlooked by paying one untested GW$ prospect that sum of money over that long a contract? Flag or not, no way they came out on top, IMO.

I was at that GF and Boyd ******* killed it when the game was on the line worth every cent. I know i wouldnt give a **** if club paid $7m to a player to win a flag
Don't know where to put this, but the overall behaviour of spectators over the last year has dropped a bit imo. And we are no exception with an incident yesterday with a disabled Hawks fan and a brawl at Kadinia Park last season (Pretty sure we had something at the MCG last season too but i can't remember)
Im wacking a campaigner if they smack a drink out my hands.Yep i came to write this, **** the low life piece of **** that decided to not only physically but also verbally assulted a person with a disability, what a real weak campaigner.
I get frustrated at the football and i get lippy with some opposition supporters but never would i get up and start a fight over it, some people really can't control their emotions in a social situation watching a competitive sport
I hope the club finds this prick and bans him not just for a year or two but for life.
campaigner should not only be banned but be persecuted hard from the law (we know this unfortunatly wont happen though).Don't know where to put this, but the overall behaviour of spectators over the last year has dropped a bit imo.

Is that what what provoked it?Im wacking a campaigner if they smack a drink out my hands.
I suspected it wasn’t an unprovoked bashing of a a disabled hawks fan, but can I ask how you seem to know the details? Did you witness?Mouthy pest got knocked over but not hurt in any way by a drunk after hitting his drink out of his hand. It's only news because it was caught on someone's phone and he's got some kind of mild disability. Slow news day.
Its in the video thats plastered everywhere. Ya not actually surprised the media skipped that part and just shared the disabled bashing partI suspected it wasn’t an unprovoked bashing of a a disabled hawks fan, but can I ask how you seem to know the details? Did you witness?
I know someone that did see it, it's all on video though. The drink knocking part wasn't on the first viral video but was on the seven news bit. The Hawks fan is a regular on something called HawksfanTV which is a fan facebook weekly thing straight after the game. He talked for a couple of minutes about the game and didn't mention getting hit and didn't look marked up. The guy is a well known mouthy instigator, fair chance it's part of whatever learning issue he has. The guy needs supervision, BG32 found these:I suspected it wasn’t an unprovoked bashing of a a disabled hawks fan, but can I ask how you seem to know the details? Did you witness?
Yeah figured. Still not necessarily defensible, but also not the horrific act of evil that’s being reported.Its in the video thats plastered everywhere. Ya not actually surprised the media skipped that part and just shared the disabled bashing part
