Good luck Tom Boyd. As for Barrett. Well he’s getting lots of negativity and his enemies are becoming numerous. Ambulance chaser.

We would have won the premiership in 2010 without Jarryd. Would the Dogs have won in 2016 without Tom?

Well, let's just say I'd rather have Grundy on the 7 year, $7 million contract.

From the article above:
"In the earlier days of the internet, I lurked and posted on message boards and observed the way football totally consumed the lives of some people, many of whom seemed to relish tearing down players for their lack of effort or skill or dedication or all of the above. But I also recognised and revelled in the same joy and love and communion they took from the game."

I was thinking about starting a thread about him a few days ago. Wondering where he is, how he is going, and if he would look at getting back into the AFL.
It sounds like he's more than happy playing for Norwood in the Eastern Football League. And that a return to the AFL will be unlikely.

The tabloid headline screeches about Daisy: "... he is battling anxiety after his daughter's birth triggered childhood trauma caused by his abusive dad."
Has anyone seen further details about this childhood trauma?

If they have, would it belong in this forum?

It was very obvious that they are just reporting what he says himself on TV.
It's his personal choice to talk about whatever he wants to.
(Answer: "Alcoholic" father, he said.)
