Just saying that we have enough consonants. If we are giving up number 7, we need to bring in a vowel. The letter E would be perfect! I heard we rated it number 5 in the alphabet in its draft year.
How about Y? Bit of a swingman, can play both the consonant and vowel position.

if it's jaksh for 28... then Boyd is probably off to the kennell with pick 4 for Griff & pick 6.
Boyd has more value then Griffen does and he is contracted.

If GWS were smart they would be better off forgetting about Griffen if Boyd is required to get him.

A bit of E right now would be great.

PM sent.

It looks like Carlton weren't actually working on Boyd all along.

Great deal for the Dogs….credit to them.
I am sure we were but once Griffen walked out Boyd probably saw a chance to get home to melbourne ayear earlier than expected plus grab a big payday while he was at it.

Much Like Hendo got to us when Fev had a minor issue at the brownlow a few years back. ;)

Scully laughed all the way to the bank.

Everthing was set up perfect for him. The timing he was drafted, the rules at the time, when his first contract expired. A unproven player of his talent should never have got the contract he did. There was no way he could say no to it. He essentially won the lotto.
For this reason i would not offer Boyd a mega deal like $800k+ per season for 5 years.

No unproven player should ever get this amount. Only proven guns.

Also, once a young player has secured such a hefty contract and has long-term security, it isnt that uncommon for them to not push themselves to the limit...i mean theyre set up for life and have just got things given to them without having done anything at AFL level.
Certainly is a theory with English soccer players...they get absurd amounts of money (way more than AFL players obviously) before they are even 21 years old and many dont become the player they were expected to be, one factor being they lose that absolute hunger to be the best
