I’d love to know what the MC see in Boyd. Loses his feet, ordinary disposal, gives away too many frees and cant defend.

Perth crowd baying, local umpires compliant, Freo on a roll, shizen happens! We already know about the statistics of playing in Perth and what that means for visiting teams, it's hard to beat just ask Judd.

Couldnt give a flying F#$% where they play, green grass, white lines on the ground with four sticks at either end, hostile supporters, same as every ground. IMO he isn't AFL standard or at least the AFL standard we require.

I tend to agree with GI2C.
Cant understand why he gets a game. Freo was an improvement on his previous match, but not by a lot. I would argue, we gain more by playing others in his role.

I'm sorry GTC, but I'm glad you aren't in charge of our list, if you were player development would be non-existent!

The fact he isn't very good just mystifies the decision even more. Turnover merchant by foot, average decision maker and a loose defender.

Re: AFL Rd 8 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Adelaide - Baggers - 05-06-2022
Only one change. ZW in for the injured Stocks.
Cottrell, Boyd, Dow and Motlop the emergencies.

I only needed 1 match, and a practice match at that to come to the same conclusion. People thought i was being too harsh off the back of a praccy match, but when you've got it, you've got it...and when you don't its even more obvious.
