Tim Boyle (born January 28, 1984) is an Australian rules football player, playing forward with the Hawthorn Hawks of the Australian Football League. His career has been plagued by injuries. In 2004 he broke his leg in a freak pre-season training drill injury, and in 2005 a torn hamstring limited him to just 3 games. In 2006 he again struggled to feature, and managed just 2 games.
2007 proved to be the year that Boyle finally arrived, playing 20 games and kicking 32 goals as a "third tall" forward. A hamstring injury reduced his effectiveness in the latter part of the season, and 2008 represents a chance for Boyle to prove that he belongs on Hawthorn's list going forward, despite the abundance of young, tall marking options on the roster.
Boyle has started 2008 solidly, kicking 2 goals in each of the first 2 rounds. He plays as a neat and valuable foil for Lance Franklin and Jarryd Roughead in a triple-prong Hawthorn forward line. Clean hands and accurate kicking are hallmarks of Boyle's game, though his leisurely demeanour and playing style limit his level of physical presence in contests.
Tim attended school at Bellarine Secondary College graduating in 2001, and played with the Leopold Football Club.
His father is Stephen Boyle, who played 3 games for Footscray before losing an eye in a freak accident on the field.
Tim enjoys playing the guitar and loves Oregon
