    I'm trying to do my bit. I'm not sure Jason Mac wants another attacking defender, so it might be a price thing for us. But I think my source said his agility and sprints if tested at the national combine would but in the top few percentile. Now that's off the charts too!! He's this draft's 'Cinderella', I guess it's a case of whether enough recruiting teams can make a good assessment in under 2 weeks.

    I must be slow on the uptake BT. If it's another club interested in this guy, what's with the secrecy, non-descript thread bit??

    I have to protect my sources sometimes, and in this case. Daniel & Michael were very clear to me and made me on a pinky-swear to not reveal the source or anything that might lead to the source...

    No... Some of my good oil is good.

    Last year I announced a 7 year $6m deal for Tom Boyd on woof and Twitter. An 1/2 hour later journos who follow my stuff got onto the club who announced this offer was being made to Tom and GWS told of same. I kept my 2 years of Zaine watching and Zaine love quiet enough. And this year my tea leaves say this kid is worth paying close attention to, because one club and head recruiter is and hoping to steal him for nothing. Who knows, once clubs review his test results and look again.... Watch this space...

    Cheers BT. Like all woofers, I'm sure, I appreciate the heads up.

    For sure, reminds me of Pearce Hanley. Not the type we need, but he looks like a player to me
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    So BT are we meant to spread the word or keep a lid on it? I'm keen to ask a few people about him now

    I don't think its a secret a lot of followers would know him but I'd be surprised if many have followed his progress closely this season.

    Nice kick, does seem to put a bit of air under it at times but looks like a type we will need coming through in a couple of years.

    I am very, very suss on anyone who makes their own 10-minute highlight package though.

    Honesty, integrity, loyalty, resilience, optimism, determination, courage - if everyone grew up with these values the world would be a vastly better place. The Bulldogs epitomize these values. You get knocked down - get up again! Don't ever doubt Bulldog people - we are in it for the long haul.
