Love for Boyd and Glove. (http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/how-veterans-dale-morris-matthew-boyd-got-western-bulldogs-over-the-line-against-adelaide-crows/news-story/52546c8a167a7bf8fa993a0d1dfda0d3)<--- Link
"Morris was at his blanketing best, rarely leaving Betts’ side as he shut the star Crows goalkicker up and kept him goalless for the first time in 2016.
The 33-year-old ( Morris ) had ample help from fellow defender Easton Wood, who himself was colossal across half-back. But Morris’ ability to read the play and his positioning — an art he has mastered for well over a decade — ensured Betts wasn’t able to escape out the back of packs for those trademark easy goals.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen Dale in bad form,” Dogs teammate Luke Dahlhaus told foxfooty.com.au."
"Boyd delivered on both fronts on Saturday night, finishing with 27 disposals at 85 per cent efficiency, 14 handball receives, a team-high 10 intercept possessions, six score involvements and 446m gained.
Of his 27 touches, 58 per cent of them were won in the defensive midfield quadrant, proving how effectively Boyd played the “link man” role between the two arcs."
Great to see them both getting credit. Their durability over the journey has been superhuman.
