Operation Get Tom Boyd - Done and dusted

[Remi Moses]

Right, I'll put it out there.
I'm going to get whacked from some posters
They're talking once in a generation forward.
Requires lateral thinking. Big Will and pick 5 for pick 1.
( love will, gotta think laterally)
Please don't post Big Footy 12 year old trades that would never see the light of day.
Thoughts?

Is Boyd actually that good?

I am missing something. Hogan looked a lot better as a 17yo and apparently he wasn't worth pick 5 last year...why is Boyd worth double that this year?

Melbourne will get a priority, most likely pick one. So if Boyd goes one, that's the pick to target.

Would they want Wilbur. Jamar is the first with Dawes and Clarke pinch hitting.

Would they take Cooney? If this is the way to go.

* I'm not saying do this, just partaking in conversation.

I'm going on what's being said that Boyd's a beauty that's all.
Do we know that the club didn't offer up pick 5 for Hogan?
We were trumped by the Dees having an earlier pick anyway.
I'm just putting up a discussion

I'm referring to GWS .

To me he is ahead of Patton. Strong mark, physical and an accurate kick. It will take time and he needs to work hard but I think he is a great prospect. Not sure what we could put together to move up the order but we should consider it.

He was very good today even allowing that VM played the NSW/ACT side.

If we don't get the PP this year though I doubt we have the currency.

In that case they may want Will.

But then we'd have another underdeveloped forward with no ruck to speak of. I would need to be convinced of our plan to get a ruckman of som quality to cover the ruck.

Sorry, not willing to give up Will.

[chef]

Rather hold onto everything and get Gumby in the PSD.

Just hope in two to three years time where not on here talking about Boyd and Will's 30 and coming to the end.
It's left field, butback in 01 it was radical when Hawthorn traded Croad.
Remember the protest?

Take your point, Hodge was worth it.

But it was also pretty radical to trade for a soon to be delisted player in order for a club to not resign a star and leave them no option in the PSD.

Is Boyd more Hodge or Rawlings? Luck of the draw.

I still think GWS won't take Boyd at 1 especially when Franklin seems certain to be going there. Melbourne won't take him because they already have Clark, Dawes & Hogan. So I have Boyd slipping to pick 3 & us likely to be finishing there.
If Boyd goes 1 or 2 then so be it. I'd be devastated like i was when GC got Jack Martin but forgot about Martin once we picked up Stringer. We'll get a ripper at our pick anyway.
Would only consider trading Will if we got an extra 1st round pick, not worth trading him for an upgrade of a few spots in the form he has been in. I can't see that happening anyway.

[Remi Moses]

Just a thought anyway. Would like to see some permutation adopted to get him.
Maybe GWS could throw in that compo pick. Won't happen,but anyway.

Judging by the reports he's more Hodge than Rawlings

What else have we got that GWS need? That's what you have to look at.
