Tom Boyd requests trade from GWS to Bulldogs

[bulldogtragic]

The answer probably lies in whether Liam Pickering gets paid on commission.

That was the knock on a certain manager of A. Everitt consistently shopping around under such a payment system. Hopefully players are smart enough to see through that. If not, and the AFLPA dont, maybe I can start up a player's 'player managers' management and get them to understand they will overpay costs over the journey by negotiating for players to sign player managers. Unless I get compromised and they need players player players management, manager, management service. Or I could go the bed so I can wake to a morning of a full Tom Boyd days.

I'm not naive enough to think it didn't go like this:

"Tom, long term contract and a shitload of coin."

"Where do I sign?"

"Tom, would you like to leave Western Sydney?"

"WOULD I!"

"Tom, would you like to leave Western Sydney?"

"WOULD I!"

or, I already have

You don't enjoy Sunday games anyway do you?

I was going to bump this but didn't want to wreck the buzz.

I say buy a Bulldogs Backyard package and we will call it even

I may have found a loophole. My daughter reminded me that in the last census my response to the question as to what religion I am....I responded 'AFL'. The Whitten Oval is my temple.

This trade may have changed the football lanscape forever. Don't for one minute think that other clubs won't now come for players like Bonts and Stringer in future years with similar mammoth offers.

I reckon we have two years to turn our club around and make it a place where players want to come to and want to stay. In two years time we cannot still be at the bottom of the ladder.

We need the right coach, stability at the club and success on the field and create an atmosphere where all the young guys are mates and want to stick together.

One of the elements that stands out in this trade though is the fact that Boyd is a Victorian who was essentially forced/required to go to Western Sydney.

Same applies to S.A and W.A boys then to some degree. Do we need to keep this in mind when we are drafting? It has never seemed to be a problem before all this talk about Aish wanting back to S.A. a few months back.

Sure does. I don't think players need to chase money as much as they did only a decade or so ago. Chad Wingard is the poster boy for hissy-fits and look how that's ended up for him.
