Dogs lost captain, coach, no.6, integrity, respect and generally lost their way .. And they bring in Boyd on a mill a year.

Really robbo? And what about your mob?

 

[Portia]

Dogs have given Boyd a 7 YEAR DEAL

jeeeeeeeezus

I guess Boyd not so concerned about premierships.

 

[chachi11]

7 year deal...wow!

With dodgy knee syndrome like he has you'd be dumb as dumb to knock back a 7 year deal

Does Boyd have bad knees? Or are you getting confused with Patton?

...and they're going to be paying a chunk of Griffen's salary at the Gnats

I thought boyd also ended the season with a baf knee injury?

could be getting confused though

 

[LFC2010]

Imagine if St Kilda trade pick 1, for pick 6 and 7.... could they?

This guy demanding a trade one year into a career and getting 1m a year compare that to the loyalty of Jack Trengove and what's happened to him upsets me

 

[DaTBird187]

Boyd sounds like a toss who thinks a lot of himself. Cameron put it to a vote with his players and they said sod it, piss him off.

How so? He'd be an idiot to turn down that deal.

1 for 4 and 6/7 possibly. GWS wants Petracca something shocking.

yep . if im saints i turn down pick 6 and 7 and ask for pick 4 and 7.

as good as petracca can be , saints should not pass up the chance to get a quality key forward when they have the chance. at pick 4 they have a shot at one of mccartin or wright. but picks 6 and 7 would likely be guys like laverde / durdin.

i would do the deal pick 1 for 4 and 7 , but not sure about 6 and 7 unless you rate durdin highly.

**** I am so looking forward to not having to hear the terms "unders" and "overs" for another 11 months.

If they keep them 2/3 of those picks will walk out in 2 years time & they'll be back to square one with more draft picks, GWS is the epitome of a feeder club that can't trade for crap.

The Bulldogs are all like "We won't be one key forward short of a premiership! Not this time!!"

there's a lesson for the Crows in that trade, but they won't figure it out until this time next year when its too late

Give Walker a 7 year deal? Because Paddy cakes is all show, but Walker is the dough?

Robbo determined to jump on anything that could bring pressure on Essendon to stop being shits. Essendon supporting Robbo is like the evil twin chained in the basement in a horror movie that periodically escapes to cause havoc. I'll be glad when a deal is done and we can get back harmless drunk Robbo.

It's an interesting one for the Bulldogs. It's no coincidence when we played them that they went from staying close to blown away when Griffen went off injured. They've strengthened their forward line, but at a high cost. Overall against all teams it's a win for the Bulldogs, but IMO against Port given our defense is our strength and our centre clearance issues in games I'd rather play Bulldogs with Boyd then Bulldogs with Griffen.

The Bulldogs announce they won't go to all the trouble of a contract with Tom.

Bulldogs hoping Free Agency still kicks in at 8 years in 2021 and not less than 8 years by then.
