Tom Boyd

[GetDimmaBack]

There you go, you have proven my point right there. Every club has players on big bucks, but it just so happens that the guy you are paying the most money to isn't very good and is showing little signs of becoming the player you hope.

Now tell me, would you really prefer Boyd and Suckling over Carlisle and Hurley?

I don't think Hurley will go to St Kilda, but it's a good point you've made.

Jury's out on Carlisle. Hurley will probably come back okay, but who really knows at this point?

Most of us Doggies were pretty happy when we lost interest in Carlisle. Got "issues" written all over him. Dogs considered him far too big a risk.

Hurley was a star. If the Dogs get him, I hope he can come back okay.

Do you really think it will be all smooth sailing for Carlisle?

By the way, have you been watching the game tonight? 21 year old Boyd might be starting to mature...

 

[GetDimmaBack]

True but we haven't signed Hurley yet so it's not really a valid point, Mccartin won't be on big money for a while anyway, Steven signed a 5 year deal so it'll be a while before he needs another contract

Same with Bont, Stringer, McCrae...

By the time they're ready to re-sign, Boyd's yearly salary will be much less, because it's heavily front loaded.

Yep, a goal from a free kick that wasn't there and then another one from a soft 50... Long way to go. Looking forward to seeing him taking some big contested marks in front of goal.

Like he did a few times last year?

Mccartin would kill to be able to kick set shot goals like Boyd's first.

Remember the tassie game? McCartin's big choke?

Dude... Nick Riewoldt has gotten charity frees his whole career

To be fair, our players have missed set shots like that all year

He could kick 10 and you'd still find problems.

Might be time to give it away, Champ.

Everyone has, all I'm saying is that we still haven't seen any signs of him becoming an elite forward yet. Riewoldt was miles ahead of this guy in his third year.

ManOfClay yes that was a good goal, that's one of the best things I've seen him do.

Okay champ. I'll happily admit when he does something that makes think he'll be a great player. That set shot was a start, but his biggest issue is that for his size he rarely takes a quality mark.

 

[Roadto2018]

Forget the rubbish free and lucky 50, he's competed so much better tonight so that's a definite positive for dogs fans, looked borderline disinterested last week, clunking them is the next step obviously

 

[Retzlaff]

Bumping because a quarter went by where he either kicked a goal or didn't.

 

[TheCotchyBear]

Not a good footballer, simple. Not agile enough, not skilled enough, doesn't know where to run/patterns.

People compare him to Tom Hawkins. Difference is Hawkins at least has football nous and skill. Boyd doesn't.

In my opinion.

Definitely showing a lot more mongrel tonight which is a good sign.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

He's definitely perfected the "drop the mark, get free kick for tap on the arm" move.

 

[Masquerade]

Boyd will be fine. For me, he's shown enough signs tonight and a few times previously

WTF????

agree nothing like hawkins, reminds me alot of vickery

What has vickery done to you?

 

[Crankyhawk]

Be nice if Boyd could clunk a mark at some point.

Do you remember how rubbish Hawkins was at start of his career?

Proof?

I don't care how he was at the start of his career.

He has football skill and nous. Unlike Boyd.

Hawkins took a couple of years to develop like most big blokes but showed from day one he had talent to work with.

Boyd has shown zero talent so far. Not even a whisker.

This is such a stupid take.

Don't watch many of his games have you?

looks uncoordinated, dropped about 5 absolute puts tonight
