    A great story of resilience, champion.
    Me too. Tom Boyd again. Tom Boyd again. It was mesmerising, astonishing and heart-warming at the same time.

    With two massive finals performances he's turned CamHead into our plan B.

    He's officially a ruckman who can go forward and do damage.

    Kurt Tippett is now a poor man's Tom Boyd.

    Haha, I was stirring up everyone around me at the GF by calling him "Value" from about halfway through the first quarter onwards.

    To be fair, it's not hard to look like a genius when you are surrounded by a-grade morons like Ling and Zempilas

    Ch7 have a thing for adulterers. It's their niche.

    That's what we all needed to hear. He's coming for his footy and to enjoy the game again. Wants to be around Bevo and wants to work with and help our boys and club. That's so refreshing. Very rare to hear that in these days of players leaving for even modestly more money.

    I took a few brief moments n my euphoric state to BOO the prick, "get him off, piss off Matthews" etc and was hoping he would do a Frank Lowy at the A League grand final and fall off the dais. Will never forgive him for those malicious comments.

    I gave a yell of 'what do you think of Tom Boyd now you flog'. He pretended like he couldn't hear me out there in the middle.

    Re: Tom Boyd

    Every week of the finals Matthews not only tipped against us, but in a superior, dismissive tone, with no respect. I've developed a healthy dose of loathing for him and LOVED that he had to present the medal, though it would have been even better if he were forced to wear an "I WAS WRONG ABOUT THE WESTERN BULLDOGS' sandwich board
