I know a free was paid. I'm just saying it wasn't even worthy of a free kick.

Free kicks get paid all the time, doesn't mean they are there.
I saw a free kick paid for high contact when a swinging arm was launched at Camporeales head back in the day. He responded by holding his jaw. Replay shows the arm never got within 20cm of any part of his body, but he a free kick was paid.

Boyd unlucky because it was the perfect hard tackle. Maybe players should wear cycle-like helmets that Caleb Daniel wears as mandatory because the game is getting faster.

Helmets don't stop concussions, the mechanism inside the skull still occurs when the head takes a knock whether you are wearing a helmet or not.

Not entirely true.

Its the sudden stop that forces the brain to move inside the skull.
If the stop is less sudden, courtesy of some kind of cushioning (be that a helmet, or an air bag, or even the crumple zone on a car) then the force on the brain is less, thus less chance of a concussion.

Boyd will get three, EOS.  Dusty should too.

I suspect we'll box on with a makeshift forward line but gees it would be nice to have some young talls developing in the twos just in case, the few we have (Lemmy then crickets) look years off.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Crickets first for me at this stage.

Not impressed by Lemmy - looks too stiff in his movements.

Yep, miles off.

Almost certain Pitto comes in and not much other change subject to Boyd going out, perhaps opportunity for Cowan.
