3rd week back from a serious shoulder injury. Medicos are making sure he's cherry ripe.

So how long before he is unfairly maligned to Jack Watts level?

Boyd attacked a contest before his fourth season

Apparently going alright in VFL. Interesting to see how they get him back in. Redpath will stay as will stringer. It seems one of Campbell or Roughead will make way. Although they've been a good ruck duo. Perhaps Dickson however that could make the team too top heavy.

Pretty sure Jack Watts didn't leave Melbourne in his second year for a $7M contract. I'd say the scrutiny is pretty fair.

Pretty sure Jack wasn't offered one. Got to keep perspective about who drove the negotiation and made the offer.

I'm not saying he was. But when you become the highest paid player in the game, you invite critique. The fact that he's so young, and hasn't proven himself yet only increases the intensity of the interest.

Well it gives the little people something to talk about at least

It's funny that people malign him for taking a huge salary but not leaving GWS.

If i was taken pick 1 and was forced to go to that club I'd be on the first Vic offer as well so no judgement here in regards to that.

What was said above is true when you're on a million a year at this age the spotlight is on your head.

Yep though the user who bumped this thread wouldn't have a clue to that.

He has time to prove himself but accepting a big pay day is always going to put some spotlight on. And of course he was offered it and it was an offer he could hardly refuse.

A sensitive type hey

You expect a #1 draft pick to carve up the VFL, but sadly was goalless the other week with 6 touches

Bit like Watson with his medal. The day will come around when things take a turn where Watson loses his medal and Boyd will carve your team up

No response without attacking a persons team? Imagine what this site would be like if team name remained anonymous. Who knows, legitimate conversation might be had and arguing the post not the man would occur.

Just being helpful

The purest definition of a plastic club.

I'm getting really sick of this.

GWS supporters have a right to wander over on the main board without having this kind of thing cropping up all the time. Believe it or not, they actually have supporters that rate the club and are just as passionate about their club as you are the Saints.

Whatever your thoughts on expansion, they're here to stay. Deal with it.

If you want to discuss expansion in general and its impacts, or the academy system or similar thats fine. Labelling them a 'plastic' club isnt fair to the GWS supporters who post here. Every club has to start somewhere after all.

Coming back from a serious shoulder injury.

Kicked three goals and was taking some great marks on the weekend. He will be back soon

Correct, however when people posts without understanding gets quite frustrating.

Likelihood of Tom playing against the Swans? From an outsider's point of view, it's hard to see both of him and Redpath playing in the same forward 50 given how important forward pressure is in the modern game.

It will be interesting to see how they go about it. I think they'll have to drop one of Campbell or Roughead. Boyd would then be the second ruck/forward.

Not sure if Boyd will play. However it could work, with Stringer going into the mid replacing Honeychurch

Don't think Campbell or Roughead will be dropped
