Tom Boyd

[Ozil]

The dogs basically gave up Griffen & Marchbank for Boyd.
How would the dogs be going now if Griffen was in the middle or off the HBF

Griffen is washed, we couldn't care less. It's not as if keeping him was an option anyway.

Not sure we'll be losing any sleep over Marchbank after snaring Marcus Adams, either.

I'd be surprised if Boyd ever reaches Browns level. He's unco and doesn't seem to know what he's meant to be doing out there. Tom Boyd has more vfl experience than ben brown lol

This game is about winning premierships, not the future (as nafan figjam supporters are suddenly realizing). Given your reliance on Bob Murphy, you may as well start your rebuild now too buddy.

Boyd anit not Martial.

Now that is a player to justify his pay.

 

[Sedat!]

I'll judge Boyd on his 2018-2022 output, like most sensible people will. Hogan is a very special player but even he has up and down weeks, Patton is struggling, Moore is up and down, McCartin took a nice grab once. Tall KPF's take time - pretty simple really.

The Boyd and Hawkins comparison isn't quite right - I think Tippett is a more accurate comparison. And with rotations coming down even more in the future, the 200cm key forward/2nd ruck will be worth their weight in gold.

No point really judging Boyd yet as he is so young but hasn't shown much compared to Moore, Macartin, Hogan ect....

I still don't agree with the deal. While it might not impact the playing group straight away you still have on average a million dollars a year less in your salary cap over the life of the contract compared to other teams regardless if its front loaded or whatever.

I think Bulldogs thought they weren't close to their window at all and boyd would be slowly developing with the rest of the group. Obviously Bulldogs have been much better than expected

Which Brown are you talking about? Jonathan? Lets see Ben Brown with the number one defender instead of the third. His a ****ing hack.

 

[compact72]

What a surprise. Thread about Tom Boyd and $$

 

[Here we go dogs]

$500,000, not bad money for a VFL full forward, still less then Travis Cloke though

To be fair I reckon your fans would say exactly the same thing if we paid the same money to Paddy McCartin who has done just as much as Tom Boyd at this point in their careers. So I am sure you can understand my ridicule at paying someone as much as Lance Franklin may get in certain years.

The contract topics something you should probably avoid seeing your splashing 800 k on a bloke who's suspended for a year.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

You mean the same Brown that plays in the same forward line as Petrie and Waite? The absolute best/worst case scenario is that Brown gets the third defender.

I'm not going to open a can of worms against a north melbourne supporter purely because our two clubs never agree, but if the third best defender goes to Tom Boyd, he is a better player than Brown, give the boy a chance to develop, get to the age of Brown before making comparisons, then we'll talk.

yeah nah. Boyd is your worst forward, hence not getting much of a game even when he is fit. Not near Brown's level. He barely impacts the game. That may change in the future, who knows....

Does stringer not get the number 1 defender? I can see you are offended, it's ok, one day Boyd may reach Brown's level. Structure lol

Lol, nice story, we're not paying Carlisle anything at all for the bulk of this year and even if he was playing he's not on anything like $800K PA. It's been said time and time again that it's not even $600K PA.

 

[Ant_]

hence not getting much of a game even when he is fit

He played every game this year until getting injured?

Are we basing this conversation on this year or last year... when he was on his rookie contract still?

Stopped reading at this point. McCartin has done bugger-all so far. You could say neither has Boyd, but at least he has had games with bags of multiple goals. Suggest you look at the numbers on both.

At 192cm Stringer's not getting the same type of defenders as Boyd.

No point arguing. Brown is the next Buddy Franklin, soon to be their main man once Waite and Petrie are put out to pasture very soon. Grim.

Got destroyed by Ambrose on Saturday.

 

[joop]

McCartin took a nice grab once.

So you agree Paddy is currently better than Boyd?

[Blackas87]

Both looking pretty average.

Both looking pretty average.

I agree, I'm pretty pissed off Paddy hasn't kicked 100 goals after 10 games including 2 being taken off for injury. What a bust.

 

[webbo]

Boyd has played every game this year that he's been fit. But good research.

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

I'm not sure what those stats are meant to prove?

Someone said Boyd hasn't shown much when compared to McCartin and then you post stats showing Boyd has done more.

 

[Blackas87]

You're arguing over who's better out of these two, Dogs supporter saying at least Boyd has kicked a few bags, you putting the stats up. How about we wait until they actually start becoming regulars when they develop to see how they're going. Stats now are meaningless.

 

[Gypsy King]

So you agree Paddy is currently better than Boyd?

I think he is. That isnt saying a lot though. I give Boyd some props though, he has performed as a ruck man. If it wasnt for his work in the ruck id write him off, but at the very least he has shown that he can be physical - which is my main knock on him as a forward (lack of physicality).

McCartin is more of a throw back forward. I would take him ahead of most up and comers.

 

[who_let_the_dogs_out]

Didn't realise McCartin was that short, thought he was around the 197cm mark.

 

[Tuco]

Averages 1.16 goals a game at the Dogs. For a $860k you'd expect him to be delivering more like 3 as FF. The question is will this be beyond him as he matures? We can't say for sure yet.

If he's still delivering 1 goal a game in his 5th season the deal will be shizen, though.
