hmmm... nah. Robbie's not a good example imo. What he's been reduced to now is the product of being tagged scragged and punched off the ball for years.
His arms up and pleading look is less theatrics and more of "hey ump are you kidding".

Selwood and Shuey exist but yeahnah 5 game Boyd Woodcock.
We don't want to have a Selwood or a Shuey impersonator. That's the point.

I think it's being exaggerated.
If we would get the same result I'd honestly be torn. We never are going to though, so don't do it.

Woodcock, 5 games - 2 Frees For, 2 Frees Against, 1 over acting dodgy free he received against Richmond in Rd 11 and some people are going on as if he is one of the biggest stager in the history of the game. Must be the off season.

I agree with this.
He only did it once, and posters going off their chops.
Shaun the sheep poster complained about one duck, and the other sheep follow LOL
We have some funny posters on this board, making a big deal about nothing.

I think the concern is how exaggerated it is when he does it, not the actual amount of times he has done it.
He will stamp it out though, its simply due to his experience and knowing what works at the lower levels.

Competition provides opportunities to grow. No point not getting a player because Other player needs an opportunity, if it’s a deficiency fill the gap and players will adapt, improve or move on.
Uhm ... Isn't that exactly what Orazio's recruitment has done ... Provide competition? A fit and healthy Orazio is easily in our best-18 ... The boys on the fringe need to pull their collective fingers out and step up!
His will end up being a great pickup, and I really hope it pushes Boyd to the next level.

If Raz isn’t providing competition for Boyd to get a run in the best 22 playing a similar role, who is he competing with? I see Raz as competing with Farrell and Boyd for Ebert’s position - Although I would rather see us play Georgi there.
Given Raz' injury history it is likely there will be plenty of opportunities anyway

I think given past history of Hinkley, that people want it to be on form. If that means Boyd getting first crack round 1 off a better pre-season then Orazio then that's what should occur.
Bite your tongue!

I agree Georgie is perfect for Ebert's role I would prefer Raz plus closer to gl same with stiff.

Either way I don’t think we will have to worry about it at AFL level this year, I’d say things will be going shithouse if Boyd is in our top 22

Got to give Boyd credit, wasn’t as classy or as impactful as Butters but came in and played his role.
18 disposals, 6 scoring involvements, 1 goal, 7 marks, 3 tackles
Well done young fella

I thought he was terrific in the first half, went in hard and was clean and composed. Has a bit of a harder edge than he did last year I think, and he was clean with his hands.

Woody had a good solid game. He's not going to be Butters but he played a role and we didn't lose too much by comparison.
Had a couple of opportunities to goal, took one and nearly had 20 possessions.
As Scorcho said, a harder edge to his game and looks physically prepared for AFL.
Wish he had drop punted the set shot he tried to banana.

This guy can hold the fort until Butters is back
