    Re: Tom Boyd - Your expectations for 2016

    Thought he was terrific yesterday. His efforts were good, and being leaner he's moving better.
    The contract and opinion is something we're going to have to endure, but be assured most that were critical will be silent when he plays good consistent footy .

    At the end of the day, he was always going to be a highly paid player somewhere. He got extra lucky with his contract because of the circumstances. His manager (Pickering) looked after him well.

    The leap was also huge and with him being over 200cm, it was even bigger.

    That was a really impressive grab - great to read he was impressive yesterday.

    Re: Tom Boyd - Your expectations for 2016

    Just goes to show how shallow the footy media is. Constantly kicking him in the guts for the last 12 months, then after his first decent pre season he shows his true potential and they lap it up, put him on the back page flying for a speccie.

    Would love it when he's on stage getting his premiership medal, that he grabs the mic and shouts 'this is for the haters!'
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Personally I'd cringe at that.

    Mostly because the word 'haters'. Urg

    Redpath doesn't do enough. Never has in my opinion. Needs to change that this year or its back to Kyneton.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Makes it more difficult for Jack when he favours so heavily the right side of his body, avoiding any contact with his left shoulder. I often wonder why he's out there with such an obvious impediment to him.
