Boyd requests trade to Bulldogs - How did we miss this????

[plugger66]

I still think we'll have a real crack at getting Boyd before this trade period is over!!!

I hope not. Would nearly be the worst thing we could do. 7 games and no good games. one million a year for 5 years. Its really drugs stuff.

Exactly. We've just spent the last few years trying to get our player payments sorted out and some people want to spend $1 million a year on a guy who's played less than ten games? Not going to happen.
Unless, of course, the drugs are high quality stuff.

Geez..
A 28 year old gun midfielder who is coming off an injury interrupted season for the previous years number 1 draft pick! Yikes.

It sure would've been nice to have got something similar for our departing, 28 year old gun midfielder 2 seasons ago, what did we get, pick 12?

Did we have a 28yo AA plus top 10 draft pick to offer GWS?
We didnt.

Ok, cheers.. I guess if Boyd was going to leave next year anyway...

Shame we miss out but at least he went to the dogs and not any of the usual suspects who poach the big talent ...

Yes betting caught up in salary cap overs would be the last thing needed. Forget Boyd with this sort of value even if he is that good.

St Kilda did enter discussions with Boyd's manager Liam Pickering about the young key forward three weeks before the trading period, but did not believe Boyd would be available until the end of 2015.

While the Saints could have traded pick No. 1 for Boyd, they did not have the currency of a mature player like Griffen that GWS badly wanted, and they were informed that the money on offer to Boyd was enormous – that the Dogs had offered "shitloads" to the first-year key forward.
