    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    I think he was OK in the media, perhaps not a natural but he really excelled when speaking to his team mates and leading them. He really demanded that they bring their best efforts.

    I wonder how he is really going as an assistant coach with Freo and if he would be open to returning to the club.

    Reported on SEN

    Marcus Adams has been ruled out for the rest of the year with concussion from that R21 hit against Carlton. Unfortunately the defender is still battling with symptoms & experiencing headaches & blurred vision when outside.

    He really doesn't have a lot of luck with injuries.

    Marcus has to be the unluckiest player with different sorts of injuries I've seen.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    He does seem to be trying to cover the full gamut.

    Here is a list of Tom's injury challenges

    Navicular fractures to both feet, had both shoulders reconstructed and suffered chronic hamstring and calf tears. He also tore a quad tendon, battled ankle injuries and dealt with back pain.

    Marcus might have some work to meet that level of injury challenges but he is on the way.

    It's a shame for Adams, if he could string seasons together he'd be one of the better defenders in the league.

    Brennan Stack A Go-Go to Jail. That's horrible - thoughts with the victims.

    'brutal assault on multiple women' and '3.5 years' don't seem to match unfortunately.

    Yeah, it’s horrific. 3.5yrs doesn’t seem enough. That said… 3.5yrs of life is precious and he’s pissed that much (at the very least) away. Sad for all concerned.
