Although we don't like to see Pitto injured, and wish him a speedy recovery... it may just help team balance, and re-ignite TDK.

Problem is TDK was on light duties as he is carrying a niggle also.

@ Thry. I'll respond in the season AFL thread-They won't stop him.

It wouldn’t be a week without an injury now would it?

^^
Hes already needed a spell in his first year. Wait until he's playing every week with a couple of players hanging off him.

It may even happen this year.

I don't think Harley is coming back

That horse has bolted.
He's leaving the very best in his wake.
That's not a player who will suffer second year blues...unless they come at him with a tank.

I like Boyd. Lovely kick and has a bit of mongrel. He'll be a useful soldier for us for a few years to come.

Its a symptom not a cause. He's working through bits and pieces and what we are seeing is a young talented player being out competed by seasoned pros. Wait until Harley Reid comes back to the field.

Ollie did ok in the first half vs the dees the week prior though

Yep, when we were in charge of the game... but when the pressure came, our system was countered, he (and some others), wilted, failed to step up, failed when the need arrived to grit teeth and dig deep and get back to basics, especially sticking tackles and hurting for your team mate.

................. or a VFL unknown player I have warmed to Boyd and think he is in our best 22/23 and happy to give Austin a tick for his recruiting.

In fairness to Boyd he wasn't really an unknown, it was quite a surprise for some that he had slipped in the pecking order to become a MSD candidate, they had expected him to be picked up in the draft proper but for reasons we will never know clubs let him slide.

I suppose at the time he first nominated he was playing as a Wing / HFF, in the link man type role, and it was only his last season of VFL that he has settled into defence.
