Floggist of flog journalism, but does bring a smile. Oh, the irony from the chief Muppet...

It's written like a 14 year old's diary entry. I wonder what the original article read like before an editor did something with it. I feel sorry for Barrett. I wonder if he was bullied growing up. It seems that way.

When a club's culture is 'broken', there are no easy fixes...

Not sure if we will find out what actually happened but if this is true it will be interesting to see how this plays out at trade time

Hmm.
If true i really cant see another club wanting to take on that contract. Boyd wont leave for less and unless there is something written in his contract that allows the club to release him, should this arise, then the dogs are either stuck with him or the difference in his contract with the new club.

Are there any clubs out there that stupid?

Freo or Brisbane

Yeah but brisbane are aiming for home grown now like the other 4 northern clubs.

Freo or Brisbane

No way on Brisbane. They've got Schache who's looking better than Boyd plus he hasn't glassed anyone, with Hipwood and Freeman as other options.

What can I say, I'm a bit black and white when it comes to glassing people.

So you only glass Asains then?

That's a touch racist mate.

Safe to say BS on the article after footage from dogs training of cordy with no stiches just a black eye

I agree. A glassing is a criminal offence which means contract termination. Plus if it was a glassing, Barrett would have been all over it like a cheap suit.

 

[G Dubya Ess]

But the incident happened a month ago? Was the footage recent?

See, I think that proves the matter. If there were stitches it would've suggested Boyd was actually effective, something I've seen no evidence of to date.

 

[Ellie Aquitaine]

No. A punch is still assault, which is a criminal offence.

And a criminal offence could mean contract termination. It isn't automatic. We still have Toby, for example.

If you go to the Giants website you can purchase "dvd's of his time at Giants.
They are selling a bit better than the Brett Thornton ones.

It is.

I got the box set of three DVD's with
Boyd / Thornton / Gilham.

That's a Tropfest entry, not a box set!

Signature item - spud

 

[Andre the Giant]

Ok after today I do miss him just a bit LOL

He has been a massive plodder but today he just about paid for himself and made a dick out of me in the process!

Wouldn't swap any of our boys but for today he had the last laugh.

 

[Cmarsh]

Yeah the trade hasnt worked out. Griffen not as influential on games as we hoped and now Marchbank looks like he'll march somewhere else.

Can only hope we get something decent out of the Marchbank trade.

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

Nah. I still can't bring myself to care. He did good. He should - he was a consensus number one pick. You'd expect him to. From all accounts he was a flog while he was here and he didn't want to be here so he left. Big deal. No dramas. Really don't care.

At least Griffen wants to be here and that's all I really care about.
