Tom Boyd

[MisterMarcus]

Both sides' mediums and smalls basically cancelled each other out yesterday.....Boyd was the sole big man from either team to make a major impact, both on the scoreboard and around the ground.

He literally was THE difference between the two teams.

 

[Super Hans]

People were criticising him for looking like Tarzan and playing like Jane, which he was.

Hell even one of his team-mates was hanging shit on him for being overpaid & he received a whack & a hospital visit for it.

Yet somehow all the criticism was led by a few St Kilda supporters on BF.

Ok . . .

You must live a sad ****ing life. The kid played the game of his life in the granny. Pull your head out of your arse and be positive about something for once, life's better when you do that. Mr Negative.

 

[JeffDunne]

All aussie ruck says enough - Hickey beating gawn twice did well for your finals campaign

What finals campaign? I must have missed Gawn's contribution to Melbourne's too.

Is it me or is this thread reaching peak stupid?

Ok, I retract everything I said in this thread.

I believe Boyd should be given a 100% pay increase, be retrospectively awarded this year's Brownlow & named AA CHF because he single handily carried his team into the GF and won it for them.

Better?

Yep, and it started with your ******* posts yesterday. Drink it in, buddy.

Yep. And 2 of the NS panel didnt even give him a single vote. Clearly proof that being clueless doesnt stop you from being a friend of the AFL.

What exactly did I post yesterday that's tainted your GF celebrations and got your panties all wet?

I'd be fascinated to know.

 

[PenAndPaper]

Yeah. And what?

He played really well. No one is disputing that.

But you still have a shitload of work left to do to explain how he's worth a million bucks a season.

He got the ultimate gold in the sport and for a team that had won just the one flag in their history. He has already paid back that amount and some...

 

[Sylvia Saint]

Happy for Boyd. After seeing the ridiculous, over-the-top criticism Watts copped over the years and then to see the baton passed over to Boyd this year, I really did feel for him. He couldn't have stuck it up the tall poppy syndrome Aussie media and public any better.

 

[Stopher]

Seriously? Do you know the breakdown of the votes.

 

[TheLoris]

Thought he was best on yesterday. But now he has got that belief, he is going to be a very, very good player. Good on him and congrats to the Bulldogs for having the balls to make the trade happen..

Suck shit GWS.

 

[JeffDunne]

It's not surprising Carey gave Boyd 3 votes.

He needed a box of Kleenex to clean up the mess he created in the booth gushing over him during the call.

Still going...

This is one of your best, "it's not surprising the person who was saying how good Boyd was during the game, also rated him highly in the votes post game"

Jeffdunnes next revelation: commentator who said Tippett didn't perform gave Tippett zero votes. Boy oh boy. Wowee. We have a new Damian Barrett!

 

[HairyO]

Seriously? Do you know the breakdown of the votes.

How the judges voted

Brad Johnson (Fox Footy): Johannisen 3, Kennedy 2, Boyd 1.
Emma Quayle (The Age): Boyd 3, Johannisen 2, Kennedy 1.
Wayne Carey (Channel 7): Boyd 3, Picken 2, Kennedy 1.
Michael Voss (SEN 1116): Johannisen 3, Picken 2, Kennedy 1.
Jay Clark (Herald Sun): Kennedy 3, Johannisen 2, Picken 1.

I dont even know who Jay Clark.

Quayle and Carey were closest to my voting.

Carey's is exactly how I would've voted.

 

[HairyO]

Carey's is exactly how I would've voted.

Yeah, with Dickson being right up there too. Also thought Grundy had a great game.

 

[sprockets]

He played a great game by his standards and a very good one by anyone else's. If it was someone else we wouldn't be talking about it and I suspect some of the judges were blinded by who he is. Josh Kennedy had a much better game but no-one cares.

Boyd needs to go on with it to show that he 'came of age' yesterday.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Yeah. And what?

He played really well. No one is disputing that.

But you still have a shitload of work left to do to explain how he's worth a million bucks a season.

The reason why you get those players is to help win you a flag. With his effort yesterday he essentially paid for his entire contract in one game.

 

[Jimthegreat]

There were 2 Million dollar men out on the ground yesterday. One kicked 3 goals (including the sealer) and could very easily have won the Norm Smith medal.
The other was Lance Franklin

Think we know Buddy was very restricted yesterday. He's earnt his dollars.

 

[charcoalchicken]

Carey's is exactly how I would've voted.

Same, that's how I saw it as well

Its funny cos you think that Hickey is worth mentioning as a top line ruck , when he couldn't even get on the bench in a 1 ruck listed AA team

Boyd is streets ahead of him sorry to say

Actually I didn't bring up Hickey, I was just correcting an ignoramus.

Based on the last sentence, I'm guessing you're too stupid to even be called ignorant?

 

[Turboman1994]

There's no disputing that the Dogs won the flag. The question being debated is whether Boyd has now justified his exorbitant wage. But you acknowledge that he's overpaid so I guess that's sufficient.

Have a cold shower then uppercut yourself I'm embarrassed you are an Eagles fan

 

[Yellow Feathers]

Boyd has arrived! Arguably best on ground in a grand final and a premiership player!

 

[dergert]

Premiers 2016! Go dogs.
