    Re: Bankers And Anchors - Round 18, 2018 vs West Coast

    I'm looking at the vision. Even though the intent wasn't malicios...hit. Knew that HC couldn't have taken possession of the ball. If you look at the ball it wasn't a fumble he never gained possession of it. He opted to bump. It caught him High....2 weeks.

If we have no plans to play him as a forward (which Bevo keeps telling us is not the case) then absolutely his days should be numbered. I was surprised yesterday when Rough played more time as a forward than Boyd.
        Boyd is only 21. Look where Gawn and Grundy were at the same time of their careers. He is well ahead of them at the same time. If we keep rucking him then we need to have this conversation in 2 years and assess where he is at then. I'm sure it will click. You will find he and English will be our ruck combination going forward.

            I would hate to see a fair player like Hurn rubbed out for that, just as I would hate to see one of our own miss weeks for that.
            Very well put. Would hate to see a player suspended for an action like that. Just unfortunate and no malice or intent in it at all.

                i agree with your points 100%, except that Boyd is 23 next month.
