Tom Boyd has appendix removed just days after joining Western Bulldogs

Thanks for the laughs all. My favourite was the Griffen's missing heart, well played Woody313

Smart lad to call the club.

Stuns me how many don't do it when they hit strife.

In any line of work, the first thing you do when something goes wrong is let someone up the food chain know, so that they can start resolving it ASAP. If you stuff around and try and hide stuff until its too late you don't get that support.

Dave Matthews insisted the appendix was not to be removed
" under no circumstances"

Made me laugh. Well played.

[Ghost Dog]

Sell it to Griffen to replace the heart he's missing.....

Ouch. That hurts.

[Twodogs]

Poor kid will as sore as ATM.

Hope he gets well soon.



PS loved the Griffen heart line. Very good.

Seems it a bit paranoid not to let him use the public system. Pretty routine procedure & should recover fine.

Clearly, you have never been to Maroondah Hospital.

Wait - is this all a ruse for our medical staff to keep the appendix, so that we have his DNA?

It all makes sense now... the partnership with VU, leading "sports" scientists on site.. we're front loading Boyd's contract so we can add multiple Boyds to our list

This cloning thing will give us a massive advantage.

Three Boyds, 5 Bontis, 6 Macraes, 7 Stringers and a few Libbas and Dahlhauses = guaranteed premierships. No need for a backline, the ball will never get down there.

Glory boy.

Do you think Brett Kirk would have phoned the Swans if his appendix hurt? He probably would have just ripped it out himself and gutted out 30 touches the next day.

I think we should play his appendix in the midfield.

I think we should play his appendix in the midfield.

must be at least 185cm, so why not

Liam Pickering: "It's seven years for seven million, no appendix or addendums".

Clearly, you have never been to Maroondah Hospital.

I just threw out their crutches from 2004

If he can't stand up to a small bout of appendicitis how can he be expected to live up to his contract.

Waste of cash.

Hush down Jeemak . We don't want Robbo reading this and giving him a theme for his next roll of toilet paper.

Good luck to Tom and his recovery. Now for him to have a great pre season and to come out ready to go by Round 1.
