There's a photo doing the rounds of Bucks and Matty Boyd having a coffee together. A Sam Mitchell arrangement in the work? I sure hope not. Possible coaching role with a few assistants leaving the pies?

Re: The Moving-Rolling Delisting/Retiring/Trading Thread 2017
Steph Martin would be ideal
Could see the club having another crack , and in particular Tim English still to develop.

Personally I think it is better for the player's coaching career to go to a different club than he played for.

Yeah I think it's great for both player and club. You learn new things going to other clubs and experiencing different ways of doing things. I'm not so sure it's great having Gia as an assistant. You could have the same argument about Smith too I suppose. Personally I think the coaches could do with a refresh

Bucks and Boyd come across as similar types: ruthlessly professional. I can see Boydy being a good fit under Bucks. Good luck to him, hopefully he finds his way back to the Dogs in the near future.

Woukd rather he went to the Hawks than Collingwood, not sure he could learn much under Buckley compared to other senior coaches.

Collingwood would be smart to get Boyd to play on. He was AA last year and has had this season ruined by that concussion injury. Making a mistake by retiring if you ask me (assuming he is mentally 'up' to go again!).

You'd have to suspect that Bucks rates Boyd. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, after all.

First thing I thought when I saw the picture was they looked like peas in a pod.

What not to do?

Re: The Moving-Rolling Delisting/Retiring/Trading Thread 2017
I hope he takes the same route as Will Minson after he got his pitch from Buckley. Laugh at them and then go travel the world.

They both shop at the same cafe, Bucks saw Boydy and stopped for a quick chat to the Bulldog Champ

Re: The Moving-Rolling Delisting/Retiring/Trading Thread 2017
Got a call from my daughter today she spent all last night making gin and tonics to the Gold Coast players at the restaurant she works at in Broadbeach. they stayed two hours after the manager closed up and GA was there.
Maybe his going away party?
She has no idea on footy only knew because her boss asked her if she knew who the bald guy was , her reply was no.
All well behaved, could have been the recovery drinks from mad Monday.
They had a rugby league side drop in a couple of weeks ago so I gather it's a pretty popular and nice place.

Re: The Moving-Rolling Delisting/Retiring/Trading Thread 2017
Good luck to Boydy in pursuing a coaching role. I wonder if Anthony Rocca would make a good goal kicking coach for us?
Pies sound out retired Dog for new footy job
COLLINGWOOD has begun sounding out potential appointments for a new look football department, with retired Western Bulldogs premiership player Matthew Boyd meeting coach Nathan Buckley.
The Magpies announced on Wednesday high performance manager Bill Davoren and development coach Anthony Rocca would depart the club while Robert Harvey, Tarkyn Lockyer and VFL coach Jared Rivers would remain.
The decisions come after the Magpies re-appointed Buckley on Monday after an extensive review from football manager Geoff Walsh that examined coaching, development, list management, on-field leadership and conditioning.
With the decision on the senior coach made, the Magpies are looking to tinker with the football department mix for 2018.
The 35-year-old Boyd is among a range of candidates the Magpies are expected to sound out for vacant positions as it looks to restructure its football department.
His catch-up with the coach was understood to be a chance for both parties to get a feel for Boyd's intentions and Collingwood's plans.
Boyd played 292 games for the Western Bulldogs, captained the club, won three best and fairests and finished equal third in the 2011 Brownlow Medal.

Not sure where to stick this post, or if it's already on here, but Ryan Schoenmachers has re signed with Hawthorn!

If they hadn't re-signed through the year would Smith & Roberts be looking for a new home?

Smith would be I reckon. Roberts might just survive because we never seem to have all our tall defenders available but he's gone backwards this year.

I thought Roberts started the year well and was unlucky to be dropped the first time. I'm glad he has been re-signed.
Smith needs to get fit again. Again whats going on with our fitness staff?

Really didn't get a chance after the last time he was dropped.He's playing good footy in the VFL and was ignored for most of the 2nd half of the season. Handled poorly IMO.

Both would likely get another year based off their performances in 2016 and how important they were in the finals, but they would want to put in a strong pre-season.
Two of many who have something to prove in 2018 or risk being tipped out of the boat.

No support from experienced team-mates... No Hamling & Morris - Wood & Boyd down on form.
Change of line coach may have affected him? Different set of instructions? Maybe no instructions??
Plays like he is 6ft, not 6'5".

He showed some promise at the start of the year, then he seemed to be lost a bit and also lost confidence.

That last point is especially true.
Not saying he sleeps with the lights on...

Comparing Fletcher with many of his KPD peers he lacks upper body strength for someone that doesn't offer other tricks like mobility, speed, etc like Hamling was offering us late last season. Hopefully he can still find a way to build up some upper body strength over the pre-season, without sacrificing the limited mobility that he brings.

The shoulder reconstructions restricted his ability to build up his upper body. Hopefully, the next preseason will be different.

Yes I was going to make this similar observation BD but wasn't quite sure over how many pre-seasons now has his development been hindered through his dodgy shoulders. If it's an issue somewhat endemic with Fletch I do see this being an issue for him to reach the potential we need him to get to.

Hamilton, Honey, Redders, Crameri & Morris
