Re: Players contracts

Hopefully we can extend JJ's contract before the year is out. If he keeps up his current form and he remains unsigned into next season the big offers from other clubs are bound to come.

I wish these idiots would stop talking about what Tom Boyd is paid. It is none of their *!*!*!*!ing business.

Re: Players contracts

The players from the previous era are obsessed with how much the players make now, and are all really uncomfortable with contracts like Boyd. As a result, they bring it up in any discussion involving Tom, or contracts at the bulldogs.

It was a topic of conversation for at least half an hour on SEN this morning. I'm sure the issue of 'players having to take less money due to Boyd's contract' is in actual fact completely overblown.

Once the next collective bargaining agreement goes through - Boyd's contract will be a hell of a lot more relative. His $1m a year is going to be more like $750K (relatively speaking) - and although a lot of money, is just reality for extracting quality key position players from other clubs.

Its astonishing that having lived through the example of Alistair Lynch getting $1m for 10 years, everyone thinking it was absolutely outrageous - and then it being proven to be such a steal that Brisbane renegotiated the contract to give him more - that when similar examples such as Buddy and Boyd come up, the 'experts' don't seem to have learnt anything from history.

Re: Players contracts

I think every club has a player on a million a year nowadays so I don't know why they bring us up .

Urg, too hard. Can't we just point at the figure and yell TOO HIGH? Who has time to explain nuances like this. Not 24 sport news stations that's for sure.

Re: Players contracts

Why is this even a topic of conversation when every single talented youngster has re-committed to the club whilst Tom Boyd has been at the kennel?

So much ignorance from the footy community as to how list management works.

Wasting your breath Ozza. There is a narrative at play here and your well-reasoned explanations don't suit the narrative on Boyd. It is quite appalling that there are ex. players (legends of the game such as Lethal) in the media actually going on public record hoping Boyd does not have a successful career.

I replied to SEN status update. Basically all the young Dogs are fine with it, just Tim Watson that isn't. I think we can deal with that.

Re: Players contracts

Lot of big contracts to negotiate in 2018.

They will be extended a year early I would say to keep the wolves away.

I tend to think along the same lines ledge, we seen Macrae and Stringer agree to contract extensions last year before the end of their contracts at that time.
