Tom Boyd

[StCicatriz]

even if he does nothing for the rest of the career, dogs supporters could rightfully write the deal down as a win

 

[ManOfClay]

All said and done that dropped chest mark at the start had me head in hands.

I bet a lot of the haters barred up. Felt better when Tippett did the same a minute later.

But boy did Toyd respond

 

[Ry009]

Darce probably not fancying his chances of the that paycut now.

Did Tom Boyd deliberately under perform during the season only to unleash his full might at the GF as a secret weapon?

 

[Werewolf]

After seeing that Carey like performance yesterday, I can't bloody wait to see Boyd in action again!

You mean like the Death Star in Return of the Jedi ?

 

[Catsnlakers]

Paid off his investment already now when you consider the money through memorabilia etc, wont hit his peak for another few years yet which is scary, wonder what ryan griffen thinks about now...

You could almost say he Toyd with the opposition..

Believe it or not, Tom Boyd still undefeated in finals to this date

North fans



Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhj

 

[cecil]

Man up chief if he didnt have a huge contract hed be battling away in the twos .

Time to "man up chief" and admit you were wrong?

 

[Mattdougie]

Lettuce be reality here, Boyd beat Naismith who is probably on 5 db swannie hand shandies per year.

When Boyd comes up against proper beast ruckmen like Gawn and Hickey he will be found wanting.

Hickey????

Lol ok

 

[VineyIsLORD]

I still rate Hogan as the better prospect (among a few others) but one thing Boyd has that Hogan doesn't is that penetration on his kick. He's a legit threat from 60m, Hogan struggles to kick 45m.

Big forwards take time, he's a stud.

Big game yesterday, you'd think that could be something that finally gets him going. Seemed down a bit on confidence at the Bulldogs because I remember him in his limited time at GWS looking a bit more confident, even if he didn't do a lot. Clearly has strong hands as seen yesterday, just needs to get to more contests and read the play better, which he did yesterday.

I didn't rate his game very highly a week ago against the Giants and have been critical of him but yesterday he was great. You get the feeling with some players it's just a matter of finding their feet and being confident in their abilities.

Find the opinions of some on here really strange. I remember in 2013/14 how blatantly obvious it was that the Dogs needed a forward if they were ever to get anywhere with this list. They weren't playing that well but it was obvious there was some talent there, and they didn't want another situation like from 2008-2010 where they probably would have been in a grand final if their forward line had more to it. So they get Boyd who plenty suggested they should get, and then many blasted them for the past 2 years for doing so. Yes, he might not ever play like a million dollar guy like Buddy, but they had to make a move like that. Imagine them Saturday with only Stringer and Cordy down there as targets.

Been done chief better get searching and twice on different threads oh btw congratulations on your victory happy for you and your loyal band of woofers
Boyd the new Clark Keating

 

[pazza]

Played liked he belonged on the big stage - the roi the Dogs will get now will be huge.

 

[ManOfClay]

Hearing him speak, very croaky, at whitten oval yesterday I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in the leadership group at one point.

Despite that little incident with premiership teammate Zaine Cordy he has conducted himself really well and seems to be a natural leader

But they still hate each other, Beveridge wants to offload him to Carlton and he's tearing the team apart.

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Just loving the jealousy of the dogs

It was a massively bold move to take such a punt and I have nothing but admiration for their aggressive strategy.

I read somewhere they are in the grand final this weekend. What a great result and a reward for rolling the dice.

I've also heard Boyd is developing nicely.

Jealousy, i would have though revenge!

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

No he hasn't.

Unless of course, being less of a liability means you've had a significant impact.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

I'm happy for you that you believe that.

Did you enjoy Sat arvo around the 20 minute mark of the last qtr? I wish we had Billings plying for us!!!

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

What's wrong with you what a complete clown

Nothings wrong with him he is just having a bit of fun thats what these forums are for. If potsters dont like it there is always another billion websites worldwide you can go!

 

[Sando22]

Hats off young fella!!
Huge effort to stand up on the big stage when it was needed.
Rapt for the kid.

 

[thetank]

Boyd is still very young and has the tools to make it.

Hawkins was rather average in his first 5 seasons, and that was with one of the greatest midfields of all time forcefeeding the ball into F50.

Call me Nostradamus!

Dees to play finals football in 2017.
