Re: Operation Get Tom Boyd
This is an excellent point DD. My thinking is that Operation Get Tom Boyd will flat line as the two or three in front of us will grab him. Operation Get Matt Scharenberg & Operation Get Dayle Garlett become the offensives.
Re: Operation Get Tom Boyd
Little bit OT, but did anyone else think of the 'Operation 'Get Fev'' thread on BigFooty from a few years ago when they saw the thread title, or was that just me?

Haven't been on BF for 6 1/2 years. Not since a core of us moved to the tri-colours website which then led to WOOF.

Is this thread not to figure out a way to get Boyd?
The only way would be something like Griff and pick 5.

Yep, It's never going to happen.
Operation Get Either Crameri Or Gumbleton for me.

I think so too - have no idea what the next best KF draft option is, but we may need to look at pick 20(ish) for that.
You'd have to think our interest in Gumby remains, and he's a slim chance at best to remain at the Dons
Re: Operation Get Tom Boyd
On further thought, the only way I could see it working is....
Minson for Pick 1.
You'd then have to consider moving Roughy back into the ruck or try and recruit/trade for a ruckman or key defender.
I'm not sure I'd do it but it would be incredibly bold. It would bring some excitement back to the footy club having 2 more young elite talent at the footy club. Losing Minson on the other would be an incredibly tough sell.

Would have to be Minson and pick 3(or whatever we end up with) for pick 1, he isn't worth it on his own IMO.

If he is the AA ruckman he may be. I originally had pick 3 + Minson but I think it's too high a price. Maybe our 2nd round pick plus Minson.
Re: Operation Get Tom Boyd
I'd be loathe to trade Minson - though when giving it thought, has everyone given up on Tom Campbell becoming a legit No. 1 ruckman in 12-18 (or whatever) months time?

I haven't but he is coming from a long way back. Rucks take a bloody long time to develop, Minson is a great example of this. To me he stays on our list and is the number one ruckman at VFL level next year, which will help his development immensely.

Boyd, Cooney and 2nd round pick to GWS for first pick?

The Bulldogs met with the Giants recently and signalled strong interest in purchasing the rights to Boyd via the No.1 pick.
A Dogs-Giants deal wouldn't be difficult, because it would involve no more than the Dogs swapping from pick No.3 or 4 to pick No.1 (again, we assume the Demons aren't 18th).
The Dogs wouldn't need to part with as much, because pick three is worth far more than Carlton's eventual pick. Therefore, it behoves the Blues to be daring. Kreuzer and Yarran have the currency to trump the Dogs, the Lions and probably most clubs, particularly if the Giants keep Carlton's first pick.

If we had pick 1` would you swap it for Boyd, Cooney and a pick in the 20's?
Plus Cooney doesn't come into any trade scenarios what so ever as he is a FA, if he wants to be anywhere but here(and that's an if) then he's going to walk to a club in a premiership window.

Great minds Chef!
