Tom Boyd

[GetDimmaBack]

Couldn't agree more mate. Andrew Lovett was a terrible trade at the time. We've taken risks as have other clubs that haven't paid off.

This is one of those risks that I think won't pay off for you guys.

I still don't get the angst over Boyd, especially from Saints fans, given the Lovett situation.

Did the Saints have to pay him some sort of settlement? IIRC, there was some money changing hands. Fair while ago now.

Campbell is out with a foot injury, indefinitely was the last I heard.

Sadly our season has gone to shit and we will limp to finals

Should bring in Will Minson

What does the Lovett situation have to do with the Boyd one? Very strange.

There is no angst over Boyd at all. It's true I am a Sainst fan but the Dogs are not one of my hated sides at all. This is a Tom Boyd thread and I am giving my opinion, that opinion is also shared by a lot of people in the media.

Just that Lovett was a trade and financial deal that didn't work out. Same as you guys think Boyd will be.

That's true. And I'm more than happy to admit that the Lovett trade was a monument **** up from our club.

Given this thread, one of the more ironic lines....

You guys can be as patient as you like, but at the moment he hasn't shown any signs that your patience will pay dividends unfortunately.

Why do you bother posting about the Boyd thing, birdman?

Why do you?

 

[GetDimmaBack]

Why do you?

There are many misconceptions around the Boyd situation - as I outlined earlier.

I guess I'm just sick of the "how are the Dogs going to keep all their stars with the size of Boyd's contract" stuff.

I explained it earlier, just as it had been explained by many others prior to my posts.

When the same old stuff is brought up continually, it bugs me.

Having explained it again now, I won't do so again. No point, is there?


I'm still not sure why so many posters from other clubs want to comment on it.

Got any ideas?

Because this is big footy and I have an opinion on it. Simple as that.

 

[Zgope1]

unpopular opinion. Tom Boyd's played ok footy as a forward/ruck at afl level this year. It hasn't been million dollar footy, but i still feel that this is overlooked

 

[ossie_21]

Can't wait to see this thread after tomorrow night after another game of 70%+ game time in ruck

 

[Choomah]

reminds me of alot of ty vickery, the dogs would be stoked if boyd hit vickerys level as a footy player

And therein lies your problem, if he was a good enough forward he wouldn't be playing in the ruck.

Ha Ha such an original comment. You can watch Boyd and the dogs play in September and hope your younger players improve a little bit over the summer to try and reach somewhere near their standard. Because at this stage they are a fair way behind, champ.

Bevo doesn't rate Minno, We delisted Goetz, Campbell is injured and Roughie is carrying something so no choice but to play him in the ruck sadly.
Really wish we would leave him at FF and bring in Minno. His not that bad and still plays decent footy when called apon.

He's already past him. Not that it means anything

Logic means nothing on the main board mate

Because it's a thread on the main board you idiot.
Would you rather everyone leave so you and the boys can circle jerk each other until Boyd becomes good?
Why are you on a forum about football bitching about people talking about football topics? If you don't like it, go away.

I actually think the Boyd comparison to Vickery is spot on. Doesn't do enough up forward so he gets thrown in the ruck.

 

[The Jack]

In that case, how has his performances been this year?

About as influential as Boyd.

Orrrrrr, Beveridge only plays 2 talls and insists they both have their turn in the ruck. But your assumption is probably right

 

[tek87]

tom boyd has a touch of the 'jack watts'. there are glimpses but lacks confidence and is under pressure. Watts has been good this year but took so long to approach anything resembling consistency and even his last 2 weeks have been ordinary. I am not writing off Boyd but he can reach Jack Watts level as of now, hopefully not in the same time period

So now it's beveridges fault? The list is growing.
