Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge has confirmed veteran defender Matthew Boyd will play on next year.Boyd has been steadfast in his desire to extend his decorated career into a 15th AFL season, but was dismayed when contract talks were put on hold by the club.The 34-year-olds case for a new deal was strengthened when he earned a surprise All Australian nod recently - his third - but Beveridge admitted he had reservations about Boyds form earlier in the season.Matthew and I have a very close relationship, close enough for me to be honest with him probably 10 or so weeks ago and for us to decide to leave (contract talks) until a bit later, Beveridge told SEN on Saturday.He wasnt overly happy with that.(But) I dont want Matthew to finish at our club playing for Footscray (in the VFL). Hes been such a great player and I dont want him to think like that.The conversation was all around that.So, we agreed to leave it. That was tough, that was a tough conversation.But hell go on next year. Hell play on next year.Beveridge spoke the morning after his sides stunning 23-point semifinal win over Hawthorn that set up a preliminary final clash against Greater Western Sydney.The Dogs have done well to make it to this point, having been ravaged by injury this season, but Beveridge said his young side have their sights set on breaking the clubs 62-year premiership drought.We wont be satisfied if we dont win the whole thing. Well be extremely disappointed if thats what transpires. The time is now, he said.As much as theres many of (my players) that are quite young, and people talk about premiership windows, but I just believe if youve got a group whos capable, whos willing to put in the hard work and meet challenges like the Hawks in a semifinal head on, then who says you cant win it?
