I am really liking this pick. It would not have surprised me if he missed out on this draft and after another year in the SANFL, gone top 30 in 2019.
Wow - just listened to Macca and Portia’s review of the SA draftees, part 2. Portia in particular did not rate Grundy or Woodcock. Combined with her sentiments about the Duursma pick, she would not have been happy yesterday.

In fairness from listening to the podcast I reckon Portia rated about 10 players this year, so the chances of her being happy weren't all that high.
Portia hates any player that isn't between 190 and 205cm unless they are completely and utterly elite because we keep picking up sub 180cm players in a height and strength dominated league.
Portia also tends to go ultra negative on players by default so it’s entirely possible she hasn’t even seen much of either

Any relation at all to Roger Woodcock from Norwood? Not a common surname!
Welcome to the club Roger
Stoked with this pick, ahead of Neade and AJ already. About time we had a real genuine small forward.

Neade has been delisted hasn't he?
yeah but they were both used as small forward last year, IE we have improved that part of the team IMO
No. His dad is from NSW and his mum is from the Yorke Peninsula. Boyd grew up in Kadina before moving to Adelaide.
I heard it said that he wasn’t a long kick. That may be true but a number of his goals this year, especially in the finals, were from boundary line set shots 40+ metres out. To kick that accurately from those positions under the pressure of tight finals games is a big asset. Wonder if Neade, S Gray or AJ could manage the same.

You only ask if these 3 could make that kick?
I would only be confident with Houston, Robbie and maybe Ryder lining up from there... Farrell is fast earning my trust a bit as well.
I’m really hoping we have improved enough up forward that Sam Gray doesn’t get games at afl or plays to such a high level we couldn’t not pick him.
Portia rated Rozee and butters pretty highly
I think he plays taller than his 174cms. Very smart too. I’m unsure what he can do at afl level but he is fun as all hell to watch.
Woody has a peculiar but effective kick. Could be a sneaky chance of making his AFL debut in 2019 if he keeps improving. He reminds me of Matthew Liptak - not a great player but 'finds a way' of getting the job done.
Liptak! Absolutely.
Here is another highlights package of him from last year, where he had 26 disposals, six marks, and a goal, and picked up the MVP award. You can see from these highlights why he would have been on our watchlist!
