Matty Boyd

[Dxmxgxd]

With West, Cross, Griffen, Gilbee and the likes in the Dogs midfield. I feel boydy is very under rated. Very important hard running midfielder for the Dogs just as much as the rest, yet never seems to get any praises from the media or wider football community. Thoughts?

Goes about his bussiness with little fuss, good honest player that would add to any team.

He is incredibly underrated, but it doesn't really matter as Bulldogs fans all love him and we know how important he is to our side.

With West, Griffen and Cross all out, he needs to step up with Cooney and others that will be in there.

top player. won me a bit of cash too last year when it was most possessions out of him and hird. boyd was paying something like 3.20 and racked em up all night.

Why do people equate "not spoken about often" with "underrated"?

I don't think you'd find many people who don't rate Matty Boyd as very good at what he does, but he's unspectacular, uncontroversial and just goes about his business.

I'd suggest that he is simply "rated", not "overrated" or "underrated".

I reckon Matty Boyd would be seen as a really good player if he imrpoved his foot skills. They arent great but he is a good hard runner which wants to get the ball which is want you want from a player

Average effectiveness of kicking in the past 4 years.

Hird = 76.6
Boyd = 82.1

Granted Hird has more 3-4 more kicks a game though.

What a star, another 26 possesions, leads the AFL in Clearances, and still underrated.

Who?

Who?

exactly, but soon he will be well known

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

He'd have to be just about closing in on the Dogs B&F this year, no?

He's been your best by a mile over the last month, and more than handy all year.
