Tom Boyd Retires

[LP]

Without directly naming him Beveridge has hit out at this 'Black Soul' journalist who had a negative effect on Boyd's state of mind.
Barrett???

btw., I'd have no trouble with some non-playing voluntary official standing up for Boyd and for his club, but it's a bit hypocritical coming from any of the football department. After all the press is indirectly the hand that feeds them, and Beveridge is a quality media performer who works the room not a naive newbie, he knows that it's no big media coverage for no big dollars!

Is there a way to have all the good stuff without the bad?

To me this is where AFL still shows some immaturity, I think partially brought on by the high penetration of past players in media roles.
