Was that meant to be Boyd?

Been fed to the wolvesAny thoughts on his game so far?
Im completely dumbfounded as to how this bloke is ahead of Sam Hayes in your pecking order.
Has Hayes done something off-field?
Yeah we don't know. It's a poor selection when we know Hayes can at least hold his own in the ruck.Im completely dumbfounded as to how this bloke is ahead of Sam Hayes in your pecking order.

Honestly thought he did a useful job tonight for a first gamer, and in conditions not conducive to big men.It was way too early for him, given he still hasn't really fully bested a SANFL ruckman in a match, and I'm angry that they have put him in this position. It would be pretty demoralizing for him. I assume they had him in to cover Dixon possibly not playing because if their intention was for him to be lead ruck they are sadists.
Nah he was an absolute liability. Not a comment on his future, could still be great but poor selection.Honestly thought he did a useful job tonight for a first gamer, and in conditions not conducive to big men.
Can't knock him for his effort.
Phillips hardly dominated tbh.
Whether Hayes should be in is irrelevant. Ken doesn't want him around.
Hayes was bog ( best on ground that is) in today’s sanfl game. Have no idea how he can be ignored.Honestly thought he did a useful job tonight for a first gamer, and in conditions not conducive to big men.

I agree. Game day criticism was way OTT.Honestly thought he did a useful job tonight for a first gamer, and in conditions not conducive to big men.

You'd best ask Mr Untwelvable.Hayes was bog ( best on ground that is) in today’s sanfl game. Have no idea how he can be ignored.
Wasn't any worse than anybody would expect from a teenage late pick ruckman on debut today, not his fault, but he should never have been selected. Lycett or Hayes back next week.Isnt the first and wont be the last ruckman that looks like a giraffe who has escaped monarto in his debut but a while off it
Or just ruck DixonWasn't any worse than anybody would expect from a teenage late pick ruckman on debut today, not his fault, but he should never have been selected. Lycett or Hayes back next week.
Used Hinkley's Krispy Kreme box as his ashtray.Has Hayes done something off-field?
The last time I saw a player in their debut who I thought was completely overmatched and akin to a fish being out of water was Pittard in 2011.
Absolutely no way he should have been playing last night. Clearly not ready, was a deer in the headlights the entire game. Simply not up to the pace of the game at AFL level both physically or mentally right now. That handball to an under pressure Farrell (I think it was Farrell) at the start of the 4th quarter after getting the free kick was diabolical. And quite frankly I'm not sure I've seen a slower player at AFL level in Port's side since Skinner last year or Redden in round 2, 2015.
I could understand him getting a game if the Club was in the bottom 4 and looking to rebuild. But the premiership window is open right now, and players who are this far off the boil should not be given a game unless it's break glass territory, and given that they still have Hayes and Lord available in the 2s, they're not at that stage yet.
