    Tom was excellent today. Those marks he took were just so important in the context of the game yesterday. He will just get better.

    Immense. Absolutely immense.

    It would have been easy to drop his head after spilling that first mark. Real easy.

    Instead, he picks himself up, dusts himself off, and flies for every mark he possibly can.

    And doesn't put a foot wrong for the rest of the day.

    Just an astonishing game.

    If JJ doesn't explode in the last quarter T.Boyd becomes a P Plated Norm Smith medallist.

    Elated for him.

    It's so pleasing to have a young tall putting himself forward like he did. I know internally he'd be in the top one to three players of the day because of his efforts, and that will mean more to anyone who counts than plaudits within the media might.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    If the players were training this week Tom would wear the funny coloured top.

    Worth every single cent. He had everything you needed in a Grand Final.

    1) Harness at the contest. Threw around his 100kg frame into everything!

    2) Took big contested marks. Allowed us to go long down the line when we had to and presented a big target. Took some super contested marks but importantly always created a contest.

    3) Kicked goals. Seized his chance.

    Tom Boyd you are a Western Bulldogs Premiership player!

    p.s. the selfie I got with you on the boundary line I will cherish for the rest of my living days

    Well played Tom! Clearly growing into his shoes. Doesn't like giving up the ball in a contest, using his body, marked very well. What a dream! We won a grand final and Tom played really well.

    What a stage to choose to produce the best game to date of your career.

    Barrett must have felt sick in his stomach waking up today knowing he has no more platform to continue his anti Boyd deal campaign.

    The scary part is that Boydy and The Bont are only 20 and will wreak havoc for another decade.

    So proud of Boydy. As a supporter you had to have the faith that he would turn into the player we expected him to be. He really stood up throughout the finals. Last week rucking for 3 quarters was amazing and yesterday he was simply awesome.

    It felt like something just clicked and all of the sudden he was clunking contested marks and kicking goals. He is an absolute star and I'm so glad he is at the club.

    Sidenote: I'll be really dissapointed if the club pursues this Cloke deal. With Crameri coming back in, it seems ridiculous to gift Cloke an opportunity to play at the club. You can see Boyd is the future and personally I think the way Zaine attacks the contest that he deserves a permanent position n the forward line too.
