Tom Boyd

Yeah, so I put it up to, uh, the, the listeners, just said, "What's your favorite, uh, Liber celebr- uh, r- Liber memories?" And, uh, God, there's a, there's an absolute treasure trove to choose from.

We are gonna be speaking to Tom Boyd, uh, who of course shared a change room with him for many years, so we'll get an insight on that.

But, uh, do you have a favorite moment of, uh, Tom Liberatore?

Well, probably I'll mention it to, to Tommy Boyd when...

in a tagging role.

Um, I'm gonna bring up the preliminary final, I think with Boydy.

We're gonna talk to, uh, Tom Boyd, uh, very soon.

Another one that was pointed out to me, uh, do you remember 2020, uh, when we're playing, there's no crowd a- allowed, we're playing a game at, at Docklands, playing against the Giants? And the Giants, remember, so this is 2020, just after they targeted Bont in the, uh, elimination final.

We spoke to a couple of Toms, two Toms.

Tom Boyd, former Western Bulldogs premiership player, to talk about the Doggies and also what it takes to win from outside the top four.

Tom Morris gave us an update on the BBL and also his encounter with Taylor Walker and Matthew Nix.

He also had an encounter with Mark Bickley in an elevator at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night and Isaac Cumming to talk All things Crows leading into their big game against the Brisbane Lions.

I look across the desk as we are getting ready for a showdown.

Huge show.

Not only will we have a chat to Tom Boyd about what it takes to win a grand final outside of the traditional kind of final setup.

Isaac Cumming, the cheese.

Now everyone's on board.

And we'll go in more detail with Tom Boyd a bit later on.

Yes, on the game.

With the game itself, which was extraordinary.

G yeah it's better than the G it's not as good as Marvel but Marvel is the best I think we're just spoiled because we're there all the time so it's anyway

apparently that Moondogs is pretty good the Doglands Moondogs oh the bar you haven't been in there yet oh really I'm surprised you can go for a walk and just pop in

hey let's ring Tom Boyd

Boydy mate what did you think Well, firstly, boys, what a game, right? I mean, you know, the wildcard round, you know, we've all, I would say, had our moments of scepticism towards, like, geez, it was an amazing weekend of footy and, of course, highlighted by the three-point victory against those comebacks that are the Collingwood Magpies.

Liam Picken, obviously Moz-

And then Tom Boyd

...

the Moz tackle.

Mm.

Um, but yeah.

It does speak to, like, the nature of the, the con- like, Tom Boyd, well-publicized, he finishes up, um, you know, a few years after that as well, in terms of, you know, it, it doesn't mean...

Like, a lot of people think footy is the be-all and end-all to-

Close enough to the bottom.

And lost, lost Griffin, Cooney, and then they made the big Tom Boyd trade.

Yeah.

And then they brought in...

oh, it really, really sucked.

Hey, one guy who did have a lot of pressure on him, Tom Boyd.

Yep.

What's it like throughout maybe not even, maybe the season as well, playing with a guy like Tom Boyd and then to see that game happen where, you know, there's moments of the game where he just like, I feel like your game was all about accumulating and it was just like being present.

But he had like some really big moments where he just like was like, right, fellas, get on board.

I'll just take us.

On page 26 of the Canberra Times on to some AFL news, we have Flag Hero Boyd urges Bulldogs to build finals momentum.

A decade on from his starting role in one of the AFL's great premierships, Tom Boyd is urging the Western Bulldogs to again ride their momentum.

The Bulldogs will play the league's first wildcard final on Friday night when they take on Collingwood at the MCG.

With his club coming off last weekend's upset win over Melbourne, Boyd says the Dogs can use that as a springboard for the next few weeks.
