No bullshit. Just gets it done. Rather like the cut of his jib.

Am sure having Boyd as a line coach hasn't hurt.
I reckon you'd only need to go back to 2012-2014 to see a vastly different view of Boyd on this board than the final view we had of him as a player post his retirement.

He was continually lambasted for being wasteful, sometimes selfish and whole bunch of other things when his view of his role was hacking the footy forward. I was so unbelievably against his move back that I've only just finished my share of roast words for dinner in relation to the topic.

It's amazing what two outstanding years of footy with a different mindset and position can do to a player. I agree that he'd be a solid acquisition now, but I wonder whether that would be the case if he finished his career as a tired midfielder without a premiership medallion around his neck.
