| So, his contract, finally, seems to be 6 years at $750,000 per year? |

According to the Herald Sun, but according to the Age it's only 650KPA.
They're probably both wrong. I'll go with 700K. |

| There is a suggestion that the Welfare is paying $1.6M per year for Boyd (mostly our money, of course), so we're frugal by comparison. |

| Quote: | It was a similar story with Adam.
Whilst I cant pinpoint the exact moment that Jem decided to like him, I do know it was some time during 2012, quite possibly after meeting him at some function.
Adam has a tendency to gravitate to the little ones and has a way of putting their nerves at ease. Jem would often search for him during meet and greet days for this reason.
Because of this, we would often wind up having a chat to him after the games as well and I know that he and Ian had a number of in-depth discussions while I was off chasing after Jem.
Again, just like Tom, a friendship had developed.
Last year, upon learning that Jemimas birthday was approaching, Adam sent her one of his Canberra guernseys, thanking her for being his #1 little fan. Her face lit up when she received that, as did ours. It was just another little thing that we never expected, and never dreamed would happen.
We are so grateful now that Jemima had the chance to be the Junior mascot for the last home game of 2015, as she was able to run out with her favourite two for the last time.
When it was announced yesterday that both Adam and Tom were officially being traded, we received messages of thanks from both.
Again, we were floored. I expected us to be the ones thanking them, but instead they were thanking US! These two boys have carried themselves with such humility, that we cant help but admire them.
While these two may have been the reasons why we became fans, they arent the sole reason why we remain fans.
They reflect values that we see in a lot of GIANTS players. Which is why this is not a sad story, its one of great hope.
After all, there are about 40 other players on the team and Jem already has her eye on a couple of new players to befriend.
Thats the beauty of this beautiful club. There are always going to be heroes to admire and friends to make

Thank you Dave. Reminds me of pants who continued to visit a young cancer victim long after he was'ordered"to.Sometimes we need to cut some slack to players who after after all hope to be parents and role models to those they find special. I am critical of DTM at times but this time thank you. And good luck to all those kids who find visits from heroes special to them, because you are special to us.
