Official Club Stuff Official: Tom Boyd officially a Bulldog for Griffen & Pick 6

[King Corey]

Now doggies, I'm lead to believe on bigfooty there's a bit of back and forth shit between our mobs.

But right now, common ground as real, organic, urban Victorian teams means more.

****ing well done on striking back like that against one of the AFL's artificial little bullshit franchises.

Said it originally on the D&T board but once more - that is a hell of a counterpunch!

Well done, enjoy a drink tonight. Been a tough week for you but you just landed what could be the next big thing - as a result of one of the most destabilising actions possible by your onfield leader.

Congratulations!

Jeremey Cameron having a cry on twitter

If he's that upset, then he should come and join Boyd down at the Dogs. We'll welcome him.

A key forward isn't the answer to our problems Fronk. We still have Mark Austin at CHB, very little pace, and have lost everything Griffen gives us through the midfield, which won't be easily replaced. I'm concerned at how we address the holes from here. I'm extremely happy to have Boyd at the club and will no doubt forget all about it in an hour or two, but it does sting a little thinking about the significant gaps we still have in the side.

Don't get me wrong, understand that top-line KPF prospects command a huge price. But for me, Griff's leave presented an opportunity to bring in top quality talent in all of the areas we lack. For me, we've now topped one up to an extreme, and left the cupboard bare for the others.

No. A key forward isn't THE answer. I've been as vocal on that as anyone. But they are harder to get than any other holes we have on our list. I like Talia a lot. Roughie is solid and improving. We can add speed and other bits and pieces far more easily.

This is just a great move for the club.

Can certainly see the other side guys, don't think I'm not at all excited about this (that'd be crazy). Getting Boyd is an enormous boost for the club and I'm sure as hell frothing at the mouth at the thought of Boyd, Stringer and Crameri running around with Dahlhaus, Dickson and Smith (hopefully!) at their feet - just hoping we haven't put our eggs in one basket!

 

[fronkalicious]

Macrae and stringer and the lads talking it up on twitter!

 

[Bont2Bruce]

The feels, the excitement. Little brother just hit back! GWS landed the first body blow, the 1-2 punch and we responded with a clean uppercut!

 

[stefoid]

Would be so GWS can trade the picks for pick 1

Indeed. Saints seem to think they will get #4, #6 & #7 which is, of course, crazy talk. But I reckon they will get #4 and #6 - which still makes boyd look like a bargain in comparison.... big, skilled mids who can mark and kick goals? we got them in spades allready

 

[Norm De Guerre]

**** me that was exhausting!

 

[suspect footskills]

Congrats Doggies! Well done.

 

[Fifty]

Glad you blokes have finally found a monster FF to build a team around. Good luck.

 

[TempleKelvington]

We half folded and have too much in the end

But it's done now so we move on

You best post in a while Matt....maybe ever. We have been and we have to.

 

[Mutt]

7 year deal according to Pickering! WOW.

Boyd signed for 7 years!!! Stop I can only get so hard.

Don't want to overstay my welcome but ****ing get amongst it!

You just prized out a potential franchise player from .. um.. a franchise.

If there's one basket you want to stack a few eggs in, it's a basket holding a 6'7" 100+ kilo forward who smashes packs for fun and kicks like a mule.

 

[RWnBluey]

As for the salary cap assistance, pffft Boyd signing will bring whatever it costs and so much more through the door in memberships, advertising and merchandising

 

[AlecDuncan]

Bold effort Dogs!

 

[TempleKelvington]

Whats is with Robertson.....gee.

 

[Double the Fist]

I'm a little sad you gave away pick 6 too.
Fair trade Boyd for Griff with Dogs winning that. Pick 6 muddies the waters.

Anyway, glad for you all.

 

[BEaston]

BEST NEWS!

We basically just got Boyd for pick 6, Griffen means nothing anymore. I'm ******* pumped with this.

THis is exact.

Sorry Robbo, next time we'll just let another club talk to our contracted captain for six months without doing anything in return. Good call mate.

**** off you clueless campaigner. Where's the GWS hate? They did the same thing.

 

[Kanga1996]

Well done guys .. Happy for you!

 

[TerryWallet]

Fantastic trade Bullies.

You paid the price......but you dare to win.

Your young structure is looking great now.

 

[Kanga1996]

Whats is with Robertson.....gee.

He is a total flog
