Nostradamus Lives Tom Boyd Wants Out

[SterlingArcher]

I sense the offended from Carlton fans

 

[ManOfClay]

offended gets changed to offended now. Bloody campaigner of a swear filter.

This thread is almost entirely based on the notion Boyd will be at Carlton though

 

[TedDougChris]

Can I be the first to make up that the strong rumour is that both Boyd and Cameron are coming to the Dogs.....

Thanks.....

Hey - i turned out to be half right so far... Who'd have thought that !!!

 

[GT619]

Don't compare boyd to judd that's just stupid. Judds a champion he's done it all

 

[ManOfClay]

Boyd will be at Carlton.

haha

 

[ManOfClay]

You dont grow up barracking for Carlton then choose to sign to a club like the Bulldogs

You don't?

 

[TedDougChris]

Don't compare boyd to judd that's just stupid. Judds a champion he's done it all

No comparison at this stage. We've had to pay overs here, but for a long list of reasons....

 

[FlowersByIrene]

You don't?

If youre going to throw stupid money at someone theyre going to do stupid things.


Say Carlton and Bulldogs both over 800k a year - he chooses the blues every time, but when you throw 1.1 at him.. he's bound to fall victim.


It's just sad he's thrown away a chance at sucess for the money

At present, in terms of recent success - we're two bald men arguing over a comb here.....

Fair enough if he had a choice between Port, Hawks, Swans for success over next couple of years. We have the best young talent in Victoria with the likes of Bontempeli, Macrae, Stringer, Libba, Dahlhaus etc...He'll have a lot more success in our team than Carlton over the years. You disagree?

 

[TedDougChris]

Tongue firmly in cheek

My apologies kind sir, please carry on.....

 

[ESKIE]

haha

Ha ha to you too

You were saying...?

 

[Defacto]

hang on....wait....you mean to tell me he went to the doggies. but i thought he was a carlton supporter

 

[Silent Alarm]

Gotta love Bigfooty.

GWS fans come in here talking about no one would ever want to leave, despite players leaving massive clubs like Collingwood and successful ones like Geelong and the Hawks, then when a player leaves they weren't wrong, and they proceed to nitpick the OP with "he said Carlton – he didn't leave to Carlton!"

Then Blues fans come on here and try and imply he was always going to go to Carlton, how he was some uber fan, and how even now, deep down, Tom Boyd wants to go to Carlton despite the fact he has not at all signed with Carlton.

*in hell

You don't grow up barracking for Melbourne then choose to sign to a club like Carlton (Chris Judd).

 

[drummond2fevola]

The Dogs have sold the house.

Good luck to them.

I think what this shows is that a player doesn't need to be in the system long before all childhood allegiances are quickly dispensed with and business decisions are made regarding your playing career.

Undoubtedly - but if the offers are in the same ball park it comes down to other considerations - like childhood allegiances.

An extra 300k over 7 years - is 2.1 mill - thats enough to tip the scales, but say it was only 100k more - we may never know but the decision is a lot harder.

 

[Giant Pete]

I'm not complaining... Griffen, pick 6 and the dogs paying us $250000 for four years is more than fair. I hope he goes well. I also hope Cameron and patton go well. We were always going to lose one of our big three. I'm glad he went to a smaller club.

 

[psychobrown]

I went to school with Boyd and his dad was my juniors coach.
He is very loyal and is NO CHANCE of leaving GWS.

I think in the end the Dogs did what was best for their long-term future, they had no choice but to go through with ousting The Griffen. Clean slate for a new future.

Half way there

 

[TedDougChris]

Half way there

Yep. If the other half works, I'll be dining off this prediction for a long time...

 

[captain cotch 9]

The best thing about this is that he isn't going to Carlton haha
