I know in a night like tonight it's hard to find deserving vote winners, but seriously- Boyd?
How influential was his 'opponent' Watson when the game was won in the first quarter and a half?

You gave Griffen votes - 19 possies at 53%. Boyd 34 possies at 74% and a goal.

NO wonder I rarely post on these boards.

You gave Griffen votes - 19 possies at less than 60%. Boyd 34 possies at 74% and a goal.

Fair points!
Problem is neither of them really hurt the opposition often enough. Much like many others when they get the ball

Please don't let my questioning make you not want to post, that's certainly not my intent.
Apologies if my comment has upset you. Feel free to debate the point, I'm not trying to belittle you, just questioning your choice- which seems reasonable on a forum?
Griff laid more tackles, had one less clearance, and was receiving heavy treatment from the Bombers all night, whereas Boyds direct opponent burned the house down and tore the game open. I would argue how effective Boyd's 74% 'effective' stats really were.

True. But in a bad night, Boyd was one of our best. Doesn't stop trying and actually kicked better tonight.

Summary - we were horrible, but Boydy, kept trying, winning the ball and actually used it better than usual. Griff just didn't get much of it and made bad decisions and didn't kick well.

Other than taggers, and around stoppages (Boyd had more clearances and contested possessions than Watson by the way) midfielders don't really have a direct opponent most of the time. Once players spread after contests, it's more about picking up the closest player or zoning. So Boyd wasn't directly opposed to Watson for most of the night.

I saw you give Griff votes and thought WTF, but said nothing because that's your opinion. So wasn't happy when you questioned me.

I don't think he was, but hey, that's my opinion. YHF points out the game is played at both ends of the field, to borrow a USA sports quote defense wins games and you just don't see Boyd shutting anyone down. As for kicking, again, didn't see a lot of great ones from him tonight.
