Matthew Boyd Biography

Matthew Boyd and Dale Morris join the Bulldogs leadership group that include five members from last year including Brad Johnson, Scott West, Robert Murphy, Daniel Cross and Daniel Giansiracusa.

"It's a good cross-section of age and certainly positions," Bulldogs coach Rodney Eade said. "We'd certainly like to add to that as we go along. What you'd like to have is 30 players in the leadership group, with everyone having a say."

Western Bulldog Matthew Boyd narrowly edged out Daniel Cross to win his first Charles Sutton Medal as the Bulldogs' best and fairest.
