    Matty Boyd signs for another Year

    Breaking news from Fairfax reporter Emma Quayle:

    Western Bulldogs veteran Matthew Boyd will play on with the club next year.
    Boyd, heading into his 15th season, has signed a one-year contract extension.
    The premiership defender's immediate future fell under some doubt earlier this year, with an original contract offer withdrawn.

    However coach Luke Beveridge said ahead of the finals series that the club wanted Boyd to continue.
    Boyd made the All Australian team this year at the age of 34, and was among his team's best players in the grand final.

    FFC: Established 1883

    Premierships: AFL 1954, 2016 VFA - 1898,99,1900, 1908, 1913, 1919-20, 1923-24, VFL: 2014, 2016 . Champions of Victoria 1924. AFLW - 2018.

    That takes him out of the musical chairs game. Reward for great effort.

    On 282 games heading into next year.

    Fantastic. Great to have him go around again.

    In light of the potential departures from our backline, fantastic that we have his calm head down there in 2017. A thoroughly deserved contract for a brilliant season - I can't see him falling off a cliff next year.

    Hopefully his body keep up to the AFL workload and we'll see him play his 300 late in the season.

    Brilliant that he is playing on. He has been huge for us for a long time - but in particular, his last two season at half back have been crucial to how we play.

    Great to see him get a chance to join the 300 club....him and Bob both in 2017 will be pretty special.

    He's a champion and deserves to be treated like one. Well done to the club for getting it done and all the best to Matty for 2017.

    I just hope he plays at least 18 games next year. Another for the 300 club.

    It'd be great to see a second #5 and a first #2 join the 300 club.

    Re: Matty Boyd signs for another Year

    I think he should've retired. Not because he doesn't deserve to play, but because there'd be no better way to go out. All Australian, drought breaking premiership, former captain. He's got nothing left to prove.

    Still. He's a competitive beast, so I can understand him wanting to go on. Deserves to have his banner hanger with the other Bulldog champs.

    Good stuff, I want Matty to join the 300 club.

    An ex-captain signs on for next year, nearing the 300 club and barely the thread has moved. Is there other dog stories today?
