When I went up to Sydney it was all sunshine and rainbows but that changed almost as soon as I made the decision to come back," "I knew it would and understood what I was taking on, but the extent of it has surprised me a little bit. Some of it's pretty harmless – the million-dollar stuff – but some of it's just abuse and a lot of it is really, really nasty. You wouldn't believe what some people come up with. That's been harder to get used to, but I think I'm getting better at dealing with it just through experience and exposure. You've got to find a way to not listen to it, because if you let it through then it could become fairly depressing. There's a lot of support out there too, but it's funny how that's harder to hear than the bad stuff.

Tom Boyd said : "It was a different proposition last week obviously, with Roughy going down so early. But it was nice to be able to play a bit of forward this week, and get a bit of time on the bench," "We're not the biggest guys out there, but our ability to cover ground and take marks and be involved is important for us. It felt good out there today"

Tom Boyd said : "From a stats points of view maybe not. I don't exactly know," "But we're all here to play grand finals. I was glad I played my part today"

Tom Boyd said : "It's been familiar in some ways, but when you're a ruckman in the juniors it's pretty much about who can jump the highest. I've had a lot to learn about the craft of ruck work,"

Tom Boyd said : "I'm getting better at it. I think most people would consider themselves to be all right at it, but it's not all that hard to compartmentalise when everything's positive, when you're a kid in the draft trying not to get a big head. When I went up to Sydney it was all sunshine and rainbows but that changed almost as soon as I made the decision to come back," "I knew it would and understood what I was taking on, but the extent of it has surprised me a little bit. Some of it's pretty harmless – the million-dollar stuff – but some of it's just abuse and a lot of it is really, really nasty. You wouldn't believe what some people come up with. That's been harder to get used to, but I think I'm getting better at dealing with it just through experience and exposure. You've got to find a way to not listen to it, because if you let it through then it could become fairly depressing. There's a lot of support out there too, but it's funny how that's harder to hear than the bad stuff. I posted a picture on Facebook about a campaign to prevent male suicide, and I even got abused on that"

Tom Boyd said : "He's OK now. But it was the second operation he'd had, it was quite a significant one, and it was frustrating for him because he couldn't speak for two weeks at all afterwards," "From the day it all went down at the club with me until when it broke in the media his mouth was stitched up, so it was literally the worst timing possible and I know how much he wanted to help me and try to talk me through it. We thought he would be all right so it wasn't stressful in that sense, but it was still a pretty major thing to happen and it was like an avalanche. Everything happened at once, but he's going well now and touch wood he stays healthy"
