Tom Boyd

The commentators said he had a Tom Hawkins style break out game today.

Like Tom Hawkins I expect him to go back to being useless.

Ha ha. Suffer in yer jocks. Shane Ellen was a 'spud', who just happened to kick five goals to sink your team, and then slinked back to obscurity. With a premiership medallion around his neck.

You're still hurting. **** off.
 
I think everyone is forgetting that he has just turned 21. 21! We never hear the end of how the Bont is 20 but Boyd is playing ruck and kpf 2 of the hardest positions in the game for a young fella. Massive potential just wait till hes 25-26 and his frame is rock solid. Great gutsy move by the dogs.

Agreed. I'm no physiologist, so I don't quite know how to put this into words, but he still doesn't look as cut as other players, like his body is yet to mature.

In any case, scary prospect.

Lettuce be reality here, Boyd beat Naismith who is probably on 5 db swannie hand shandies per year.

When Boyd comes up against proper beast ruckmen like Gawn and Hickey he will be found wanting.

As would Josh Bruce, as would Josh Jenkins, as would Joe Daniher...it's just that Boyd can more than pinch-hit, he can smash it around the ground.

Key forwards who are playing ruck to fulfil a role for a team generally don't beat the best rucks. If they can draw even with a good ruck (like Boyd v Mumford) or kick a few goals (like Boyd today) or take marks all around the ground (like Boyd today) or take up the first ruck role when the first ruck goes injured (...) that's a huge win.

(not withstanding he also flogged Kurt Tippett)
