Fantastic career and hope he goes out a double premiership player.
A Bulldog champ! Thanks Matthew Boyd for all you have done for our club. We will miss you. As nearly every poster has said a great career with the top achievement our premiership last year. Would be cool to see him involved somewhere at the club in the future.
Who can forget this great match winning goal:

Such a legend of our Footy club. Glad he gets to go out on his terms.Hard to see him not remaining part of the club in some capacity
Absolute champion. An inspirational player that many have looked up to. Will miss watching him play but has provided many memories. Thank you Keith.
Obviously you are still a mere child Bullies, when I was young the cry was "Peanuts, shilling a bag, Peanuts", the same price as the Footy Record then.
And I must have a thing for half backs. My favourite footballers over the years have been EJ, John Jillard, Dale Morris, Matthew Boyd and Daniel Cross. How lucky was I to have Matthew, Crossy and Dale in the same team?
Thanks Matthew for all your good years, and great performances, and wishing you all the best for a great future. My fingers are now crossed to see you go out as a dual Premiership player.
Quality guy to have at the club and I think it's more than fair to say he got the most out of abilities. He should be extremely proud of what he has achieved. You have to respect the way he has conducted himself.
He's right up there in my book behind Westy. You can have your flash goal kickers and spekky takers. They're the icing. But give me a player who can get the ball out in heavy traffic, creates the passage to the goals and runs up and down the ground for 120 minutes; they're the cake.
Let's send him out on a high.
Boyddddyyyyyyyyyy!
Congratulations on such a great career Keithy. He is a true professional the way he went about forging a career from football. He got the most out of himself and set the benchmark for others to follow. He took the captaincy through a very tough period and lead from the front. His leadership on the field last year as well can't be underestimated. Finishing up with 3 b&f's, 3 AA's and most importantly a premiership player just goes to show how blessed we were to call him a Bulldogs player. He can hold his head very very high with everything he has given to our great club and he leaves it in pretty good shape too.
The Honorary bit is a title. It means his life membership has been "conferred as an honour" and earned as opposed to a normal member who has to renew their membership and pay the membership fee. Libba is another life member who didn't get to 300 club games but played 300 AFL sanctioned games with Victorian and Pre Season games and IR games incl included.
Two tickets to the Grand Final every year would be great.
Wouldn't that be a result!

Thanks Matthew for your wonderful contribution. The photo with you and Dahlhaus holding and looking at the cup is one of my faves. Hope you enjoy the next chapter in your life too and suspect you have more to give to the footy community. Rather selfishly I hope you can help guide 'Scray to vfl premiership glory if you are not able to break into afl side again.
