I don't think there's a lot of "hate for Boyd." This little black duck much prefers Boyd to Saad... for starters his defensive game is much better... he has a passion for the contest, and his body isn't crumbling! And he can kick on both sides of his body.
In fairness to Saad, he closes a gap better than anybody, but even before his injury it was an all or nothing result, no second chance! To me that isn't good enough for a front-line role, but OK if you're a plus one.

I think we got the balance wrong at the selection table, our tall defenders weren't able to stop the Swans, and our Mids and runners weren't able to stop their opponents. I think we would have been better off to go in with a Med/Sml to replace Young.

What I don't get is that before 1/2-time both teams fumbled horribly, it was like someone had oiled the footy, but after 1/2-time the Swans played like it was cool dry weather while we still fumbled.

I don't get all the hate for boyd.
Clearly not rated by the mc.

I don't think anyone on this site has hung it on Boyd? Maybe Krudd is referring to the MC. The only comments I recall were how he'd lost some form/confidence and wasn't getting picked when playing well enough in the magoos. I'd have him ahead of Saad
