Tom Boyd

[Wild Bill]

I don't disagree with any of that at all.

But having said that, I still personally believe Boyd's worth to the team next year (even if his output isn't as high as Wells') should be much greater given the type of player he is.

Maybe - especially with Redpath missing most of 2017. I get the importance of a big body to crash a pack and give your crumbers a chance - as well as a chop out in the ruck. His real worth - and the reason he is getting what he gets is when he does what he did on Grand Final day on a regular basis.

You know, if you had paid closer attention to the whole Freeman trade you would realise he's a long term investment, not just an injuried plagued bloke we picked up in hope that he'd magically be fine the minute he walked through the front door of the Saints. Richo said at the start of the year, he doesn't care if Freeman doesn't play a game all year it's about getting his body right now so he'd be better off in the future. Has been tracking very well the last 2-3 months and fully expect him to have a big pre season. Don't everyone write him off before he even gets a chance to prove himself

Familiarise yourself with the background of that comment before getting involved.

And don't patronise me. I know a lot about the Freeman trade - and it was ambitious by St Kilda.

Mate I'm not going to bother arguing with you but for one I'm not patronising you, of course it was an ambitious move but all I'm saying is the blokes only 21, I couldn't care less if he doesn't come good for another 2-3 years but I'm pretty confident he will eventually, I'll leave it at that.

What did you trade for said long term investment?

Future 2nd rounder, which is currently pick 30 I believe?

With the deals getting thrown around already this off season Tom Boyds deal just gets better and better in my eyes. 500k for Vickery? 600k for Wells?!

Tom Boyd is on roughly 250k more than Wells next year, I know which one I'd rather on the books

What if Hawthorn or Collingwood win a flag on the back of the trade though...?

Only 21? Wow, Million Dollar Premiership Player Tom Boyd is much ol...

Oh, sorry, my mistake



BTW, I wouldn't argue about inside info with Pann, either. He will make you look like an idiot if you do.

Yeah.

What if?

Don't think I ever said anything knocking Tom Boyd?

Ha ha, everyone used to laugh at Dogs posters saying "Boyd's only 21 - give him time",...

 

[keithrichards]

Yeah.

What if?

I'm just implying that the $$$ value of their contract may seem ridiculous to some at the moment, but if it nets their respective club a premiership then it would be considered a good decision.

Bit different when you give up Pick 6 and your captain, and hand him a $7 million contract though, isn't it? Of course people won't knock it now, but slightly different circumstances...although questions will/were always going to be asked of them both so no point talking about it

Just like the Dogs and Million Dollar Premiership Player Tom Boyd?

Hadn't crossed my mind, but you make a good point!

Agreed.

Million Dollar Premiership Player Tom Boyd's contract is fine with me.

In fact, I'm ready to give him a raise

Well, this is the Tom Boyd thread, after all

 

[ManOfClay]

Watching the DVD now. This kid paid for himself

 

[Gypsy King]

I had written Boyd off till the Bullies first rucked him.

 

[Wild Bill]

Watching the DVD now. This kid paid for himself

100% - I would bring back Liam Anthony and pay him a million dollars if it helped us win a flag.

 

[Deadly Darcy]

Hai All

Fun fact

Having Million dollar premiership player Tom Boyd on our list won us the flag this year

 

[Cadillac]

Lol seriously Bulldogs fans are a punch of pussies. Always keen to put the boot in but when its their turn they have a cry

Haha we are pussies? Where have you been hiding since Grand final day on this thread? Big Tommy had a Grand Final that Kennedy and Darling could only dream about!!
