    Still saying the early season concussion really hurt Boyd last year. He was AA in ‘16 and playing well at the end of the year. I don’t think he should have (been) retired.
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

      Interesting perspective - I thought he was done, and played some straight up sad footy at times (the Sydney game really sticks out), but his last game definitely posed a few questions. We sure could use 2016 Matt Boyd right about now.

        Collingwood defended them better , and more pressure . GWS got a bit Hollywood ( as they do) shots from the boundary and not doing the team thing . Collingwood’s lack of polish killed them

            I get where you're coming from. I'm content we got to see Boyd go it with a bang rather than go too long.

            Stringer looks slow, weak and disinterested. And you know what? I'm taking no joy from it whatsoever. It's really sad to watch.

              Doesn't play for us and I am elated.

                He was dead set horrible. The only thing worse was how the end of game light show looked on the broadcast. So bad.

                  I’m stoked . Because make no mistake we’d be reminded that we let him leave if he fired up.
                  Didn’t see the game , but I’m happy he is playing rubbish , it’s been that way for a while now

                      Kind of glad it's not our problem. We got enough of them.

                      And agree with Remi, the beating will be unbearable if he has a purple patch

                        I hope Stringer maintains his current form until at least next week.

                        We were told he’s dropped weight over summer. I don’t know where from, he looks heavier than ever to me.

                          What is Saad's leg injury?
                          The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

                            He ran through centre half forward and all the way into the centre square chasing and harassed the ball carrier three times halfway through the first quarter. Didn't see him again until the second quarter.
                            They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                              Just like watching us. Slow, weak, disinterested.
                              More of an In Bruges guy?
