The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016

Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016

Initially, upon his immediate elevation he gets an immediate pay rise. Beyond that I'm assuming we can pay him what we want within the cap.

We do have the freedom to allocate our $500k marketing allowance in whichever way we want though?
We can rookie him, immediately upgrade him then use marketing allowance to bump up his salary.

Get creative

Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016

I know it's not ideal, but..... Say.... We get busy and we need Matty's spot. We offer him a rookie spot and he tells all clubs he will only play with us. We pick him up, he takes Wallis' spot on the senior list as an upgraded rookie for the entire season. We in a sense, move Wallis time injured to the rookie list owing that Boyd is obviously better than a rookie.

I know it's not ideal, I know GVGjr has said previously it affects his legacy, but if this scenario played out and we still have another full season of Matty Boyd as well as trades in we want, is this not a solution where we have our cake and eat it too? (If JMac really needs another spot on the list to do his magic. Also we can leave him on as a rookie for a second year if his form warrants it and he's light years ahead of Goodes & Adcock. 300 games is achievable.)

Love your thinking BT but I don't think he can do that. Once in the draft it is open slather.

He can to scare others off, but other clubs can grab him that's true. But it's a risk for them in the first round of the rookie draft.

He is in the squad, not the team yet.
I think it is more than likely he will be not offered a contract.

An All-Australian nominee in 2015 and 2016 and you don't think he is worthy of at least another year ?

MATTHEW BOYD (Western Bulldogs)
While his backline teammates dropped around him, Boyd had a brilliant season averaging 27.9 possessions at almost 80 per cent efficiency, and was ranked sixth for rebound 50s.

Who do you think in 2017 would better Matt Boyd's record of the last 2 years ??

Stevo reporting Essendon and Melbourne has some interest in Koby.

Interesting, as there were Essendon rumours flying around earlier.

They are outstanding numbers. He even appeared to crank it up a bit as the season went on.

I/C: Marcus Bontempelli (Western Bulldogs), Matthew Boyd (Western Bulldogs), Dustin Martin (Richmond), Luke Parker (Sydney)

An emerging star and a tribute to the skill, resilience and courage of Matt Boyd...well done both.

Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016

Minson is shot. No basic contract, no rookie list spot. I love what you given to this club, but father time has caught you. Prudden too, possible rookie list but I wouldn't.

Jong & Stevens still haven't signed. Clubs are interested. The one good game must be weighed against the many average. So if the price is right, traded.

Honeychurch may seek opportunities and a trade elsewhere. No point holding him back if 2017 will be the same.

That's my near enough to end list, no more rolling around for me. I'd look hard at Vickery as a free agent (Minson's spot), look generally at Boomer (replacing a small) and take 3 picks into the draft hopefully all within 30 with the above trades. If we need a genuine tall forward such as Cloke, Black or McStay (etc) then Matty Boyd may be in trouble with Roarke & Williams looking good at the level.

Would be pretty poor and embarrassing to delist an All Australian.

Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016

If he does not get a contract it is an absolute insult to a great servant of this club, he is a gun. There is no-one who is capable of taking his place, those who are stating that Williams can slot in are completely delusional, he is at least 2 years off the pace, he does not yet have the capabilities of simple positioning correctly, we need Boyd for the next 12 months at least, let the young ones have another year of learning, make them study what he does then be ready for the upgrade to seniors. If he does not get a contract it will rank as one of the more ridiculous decisions this club has made and I have seen quite a few since 1960 when I was standing on the scoreboard hill. We must sign him.

He wasn't an All Australian when I posted this. And to be fair, if you go through every single posters comments you'll read about the gun Howard we picked up was, how we can't trade Liam Jones, how Matt Fuller was a way better selection than Ben Brown, how great Ayce Cordys & Jarrad Grants final season was, how good Gryphne was as captain and how Brendan McCartney was our next premiership coach.

I get a sense that's aimed at me. So... What I said was 'Roarke & Williams were looking good at the level'. No more, no less. That means they're great depth to our best HBFs such as Bob, Wood, JJ, Suckling, Biggs etc. . That doesn't mean they can replace most or every aspect of Boyd's current output. So whom ever this poster was that said 'Williams can slot in for Boyd' may be as you say, completely delusional, but I don't think it does a service to others on here to label them as such.
