Tom Boyds drunken bust-up with Western Bulldogs teammate Zaine Cordy was a turning point for the young forward, according to stand-in captain Easton Wood.The $6 million recruit was suspended indefinitely by the Bulldogs over the incident in June, but earned a recall to the side before eventually playing a key role in their grand final win over Sydney.I think that was a big turning point for Tom and he learnt a lot about himself, Wood told the RSN Breakfast radio program on Thursday.His growth since that time has been amazing ... his demeanour and his willingness to be open and explore his game and explore himself as a person.Its no surprise to us ... how his form has improved off the back of that as well.Boyd was reported to have lashed out at Cordy after his close friend poured beer on him while he tied his shoelaces during a long drinking session.The 21-year-old, who was taken from Greater Western Sydney at the end of 2014 on a seven-year deal in exchange for captain Ryan Griffen and the No. 6 draft pick, went a long way towards justifying his hefty contract with a standout grand final performance.Boyd placed third in the Norm Smith medal voting after booting three goals and taking six important contested marks, earning praise from coach Luke Beveridge.Im just so happy for him with all of the external pressure thats come his way through nothing that was in his control, Beveridge said..We talk about whats going to happen with him as he progresses at AFL level with his physical capability ... hes going to continue to blossom.When we needed our players to find their very best performance he found his in a grand final - it was amazing.

Uniteds eighth defeat of a wretched campaign means Liverpool, which currently occupies the fourth and final Champions League place, could go nine points clear of its fierce rival by beating West Bromwich Albion on Sunday. Charlie Adam scored both of Stokes goals at Britannia Stadium either side of Robin van Persies equalizer, with a miserable day for seventh-place United capped by first-half injuries to centre halves Jonny Evans and Phil Jones that forced them off. Key Newcastle defender Daniel Mullen looks set to spend a chunk of the A-League season on the sidelines after injuring ligaments in his knee.Mullen was subbed off midway through the second half of Sundays 1-1 opening-round draw with Adelaide, immediately after making a classy clearance to stop Henrique closing in on a winner.The 26-year-old will have scans on Monday to determine the extent of the injury, which has the potential to sideline him for up to 12 weeks.Fellow defender Jason Hoffman (calf) and Finnish striker Aleksandr Kokko (Achilles) are also in doubt for this weekends clash with Brisbane.The pair await their own scan results to rule out serious injury, but participated in Mondays team recovery session.Hopefully theyre not long-term injuries, coach Mark Jones said after his debut match.But it doesnt look good for Dan.It continues a poor run of luck for the Jets who, along with their well-documented off-field issues, lost first-choice goalkeeper Ben Kennedy to a ruptured Achilles last week.In more positive news, Jones said Labinot Haliti was set to return against Roar after nearly a year out with a knee injury.The Jets will also regain Morten Nordstrand and Mateo Poljak, both of whom sat out of the openiing game for fitness reasons.ddddddddddddAll three will be right to go next week, Jones said.Labi is just a case of giving him some game time and trying to build him up.We dont want to give him 90 minutes in his first game back.Newcastle produced a spirited performance, often nullifying the Reds despite a breakdown in communication between Mullen and keeper Jack Duncan gifting Jesse Makarounas an equaliser to offset Wayne Browns opener.The result buoyed Jones confidence as he prepares to host comeback kings Roar.We started without Morten and Mateo, then we lose three as the game goes on but still keep our composure, Jones said.We were more than happy with the way they played, it was just about executing a little bit better.We wanted to wait it out and not concede and we always thought wed get opportunities in the second half, which is what happened.We just, unfortunately, didnt take them.Brisbane will also be high on confidence after snatching a point at the death from Melbourne Victory at Suncorp Stadium on Friday.However, John Aloisis men will be without suspended captain Matt McKay.
