MVP Tommy Boyd - The Grand Final Enigma

[ossie_21]

Glad some of you have enjoyed the thread titles. He's a premiership hero and I couldn't be happier.

I said it'd come quick when it happened and he'd come good. As pathetic as it sounds I feel totally vindicated today.

And completely fulfilled.

That dropped chest mark in the first 20 seconds could have defined his game. After that, he clunked everything. Absolute beast of an end to his season, his tank has improved out of sight and now you just know this is the start of what he can do.

He's earnt his paycheck for the rest of his career for me. Thankfully there's at least 5 more years with this group

Should have a norm smith

Best on ground by a mile, fantastic to see a young guy show up the doubters in the way he did.

 

[Hard Ball Get]

So about those no good hands of his...

So about those no good hands of his...

He wasn't marking them. He did today.

Awesome.

Tom 'Droughtbreaker' Boyd.

Denizens in ancient Egypt and Rome use to pay homage to him back in the day.

 

[Hard Ball Get]

He wasn't marking them. He did today.

Awesome.

Never said he was.
ALWAYS said he was going to.

I couldn't be happier for this guy, best on ground in a Grand Final.

Has worn more abuse than he ever deserved for grasping a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he has delivered on every unjustified expectation and more in this game.

A Bulldog immortal.

 

[littlenails]

Has been very good in all of the finals.

Was excellent in the Grand Final one of the best for sure.

Well done Tom.

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

So bloody happy for him. Was stoked when he arrived. Doubts began to creep in about him.

Today he punched my doubts in the face. Today was the day a boy became a man. And what a day to do it. Kudos Tommy.

Very very deserving. Thank you for believing in our team.

From Boyd to Mand.

Well that was some growing up year for Tom. Had a bit of everything. I thought his effort last week was great, and then yesterday. Those marks in the last quarter were so important. Well done.

Congrats on the win. Great to watch the team play for each other.

Led to believe in here thatt Boyd was in bevos sights to trade this year, you wouldn't think that if you see the press conference, goes to show, not all runmours are true, even on here.

Tom 'The Rain Maker' Boyd.

What a game Tom, and the best part is he is only going to get better. What confidence he will get out of that game in the grand final.

 

[Libba39]

Dear Tom, I'm sincerely sorry for doubting you.

 

[Aldo]

I can't bring myself to hate Griffen anymore. Because if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have Bevo and Boyd. Sooky Griffen you beauty!

 

[L_W_P]

Have said for a while he will be more Brad Ottens than Tom Hawkins and tonight showed that. Busted his arse and fought to his last breath against the most physical ruck in the comp.

Give him 2-3 years playing as the #1 with Roughead in support and he will be ripping teams apart from the middle.

Its not what anyone thought you were buying but it's going to work just as well in Bevo's system.

I dont want to say I told ya so but...

Thought he deserved the Norm Smith. His 3rd qtr was the kind of stuff you tell kids and grandkids about.

That photo of him celebrating the goal is majestic.

 

[True Dog]

Only one millionaire earned there pay-check yesterday and it wasn't buddy!!!!!

 

[bresker]

Every game since he joined us - lets marks slip through his tiny buttery hands

Grand final day - hands like araldite


Gold

 

[BallaratBulldog]

All those photos he stopped marking with his two palm clamped mostly. That's the key.

That photo of him celebrating the goal is majestic.

Toby riding him like a monkey jockey. Big Tom hardly knows the fly is on his back.
