    Re: Tom Boyd Retires

    For anyone interested in the numbers, it looks like:

    Original deal was $7m for 7 years
    First year w us was on first-contract dollars - $150k
    1.7m in 2016 and 2017
    A little under in 2018
    Walks away w 1.5m left on contract which means he’d have been $750 a year 2020/21

    Bevo getting emotional about Tom at his presser here
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Never been prouder of Bevo. One clip just sadness. One clip the anger. I hoped someone from the club would do the anger part.

    He spoke beautifully. As he says he (Bevo) is an emotional beast. Really talking from the heart about Tom.

    Well spoken. Shots fired... no doubt the media will protect their own and possibly criticise Bevo but glad that it's been said how could you not want to play for him

    I’d imagine there’s a fair few who share Bevo’s opinion.

    I'd happily flush Barrett's head down the dunny to keep up the bulldog tradition.
