Shit happens players come and go

Latest Eagles rumour his replacement might be coming from another SANFL club but it’s just a rumour

I know it does but the statement read he is no longer playing SANFL yet not long after is rumoured to be at Centrals ? Not hard to fill in the gaps.

But shit happens he is gone

Welcome back Boydy!
Whatever his faults, he did win a premiership with us in 2010. Can't hold a grudge for 10 years. I'm very glad to have him back, and obviously the club is too.

Boydy gun!!!

Staggering.

“Tickets” Boyd returns .....

Surely his best footy is far behind him ???

Quite the journeyman....

I'm glad to have both him and Sam back.

Change of coach makes a difference . Back where they belong.

Previous coach too pig headed? of current coach too lenient?

Or neither. The current coach has made it clear he wants to add some out side footballers to the squad.

Different strokes for different folks.

While everyone is focusing on Boyd to Centrals
Aside from dogs fans that’s understandable.
What hasn’t been mentioned in SA Footy unless I’ve missed it .
It’s on other footy forums like the Eagles nest and on Facebook pages like fans of the SANFL
Or if you like Boyd has left on his leaving rumours have surfaced . That the Eagles are in talks with a Norwood midfielder who isn’t needed by Norwood with their star recruits. I have no idea who it is but seeing Boyd is gone salary cap clearance and possibly transfer fee coming in . Maybe the eagles can afford another recruit .
One door closes another one opens
Rumour says Norwood player was in Flag winning Norwood side is that 2014 or 2019 seconds

Boyd didn't deserve to get dropped mid-season. Plenty of players playing worse than him. That said, this clearly p$ssed him off and seemed to hold a grudge against the club from that point on.

He will still be a very good midfielder at League level but should be the support rather than the main act which he was for the last year or two at the Eagles. The guy gets 30 possessions a game but they aren't damaging and lots of them are cheap. But he will complement players like the Schiller brothers.

I would have preferred that he stayed at the Eagles given we will have our weakest midfield for the last 15 years this upcoming season. That said, we don't know the true reasons behind his departure - I don't believe he retired as stated by the club - so perhaps Sheedy is doing the right thing. But we will be very dependent on untried 18 year old midfielders this year so I hope we haven't made a major stuff up.

Best for both Boyd and Eagles to start over. Sheedy must be free to develop younger players with established
ones like Toumpas, Lonergan, Foote, Poole and Ferns in the midfield area.
This season we were caught short all over the ground in a majority of games. The defence at times got out muscled
and lacked genuine rebound while up forward we played the whole season one key forward short!
That said Sheedy has players to work with who could and should get better, adding depth and selection pressure
for 2020. After missing out on Broadband and Dougass plus Boyd back to Dogs, we obviously have room for a couple of
recruits still and really must back the new coach with the strongest playing squad possible. That was unfortunately
not the case in 2019 and the Board and Football department can wear it for a change!
Right now the midfield mix could only benefit with bolstering more though.

I agree with that – Sheedy will want to put his stamp on the team and recast the midfield. We’ve got a bunch of talented U18 midfielders, some of whom were talked of as getting drafted (but didn’t) so they must have at least a little bit of talent there. There is no denying that Sheedy was one of the competition’s best midfielders over many, many years so hopefully can teach these kids a thing or two about getting the ball.
Even with some $$ freed up with Boyd’s departure I wouldn’t expect too much more on the recruiting front this late. Not sure who this rumoured Norwood player is or whether its accurate but doubt that whoever it is would add too much value if they can’t get a run in Norwood’s league side. Let’s save the $$ and allocate it to a recruit and the end of next season.
Unlike every season for the past 20 years I’m not expecting the Eagles to make the finals this year but am expecting a whole host of new faces to get a game and some major steps forward for our young players. Should be interesting watching a new game plan and hopefully steps forward in a rebuild.

I was under the impression that Boyd and Johansen did not get along in the same side and this resulted in Johansen going to CBCOC. As I understand, Johansen is back at the Eagles which prompted Boyd's departure.

That’s not why JJ went to CBC
