Yeah Nah, I get it.
He's a fast running midfielder in a team that largely allows the opposition to stream out of defence to a turnover zone so that space opens up and they can counter-attack using superior foot speed and disposal skills. But reality is in that GWS team with those players around them everybody looks better than they are probably going to be at any other club, go ask Boyd. As for a shed load of stoppage clearances, a bloke called Mumford has a fair bit to say about who stands tall and gets the ball.
Despite having all those dominant stats collectors, they limped over the line against the busted ar5e lolly smashing CheatsFC in what was effectively a shoot-out with neither team making it to 60 tackles, the AFL season low average is 59 tackles to Freo! Not even 1 tackle for every two minutes of football, was it touch footy?
I'm a little with LP on this one....no more putting all the eggs in 1 basket please. If Norf want to squander all of their salary cap on a bloke like this.....good on 'em.
Champion team will always etc etc.
cheers
