A lot of fans on here were potting Boyd just a few days ago, now they are complaining he's been rogered!

Personally I'll be very disappointed if the club doesn't appeal, it's not about guilt or innocence, it's about sending a message that we will stick by our players and make sure they are treated justly!

I'm also shocked but not surprised the AFLPA hasn't had something to say about this because it is becoming untenable, but it's all about long term legal liability, there will be lawyers and legal advocates whispering in ears everywhere, beware the future, beware the future. Yet you wouldn't be at all shocked to find the very same lawyers running a civil concussion case in a few years, such is their nature!

I'm not a fan of Boyd the player but this was an unfair penalty and the club should appeal. 3 weeks for that tackle is overs but that's the rub of the green for
no name players compared to a name or marquee player and that's my main gripe.
No way is Petracca, N. Daicos ,or Cripps getting 3 weeks for that tackle...

you can think a bloke is a spud and still think he's been shafted.

I dont think he's that bad anymore. I thought he was rubbish, but he's been upgraded to serviceable.

I'm a sucker for a worker.

True, IMO your fortunes are dictated by your bottom 6 or so players every week. If the gap between them and your top 16 or 17 is too large, youre doomed. If those bottom 6 dont pull their weight, youre doomed. We have been so even across the board in the last 4 or 5 weeks, the results speak for themselves.
