Lots of serious thought reqùired
Hmmmmmmm
Rory by quite a bit. Ben Brown would have needed some serious head scratching. Rory's delivered consistently over a season. When opposition teams know he's our goto man man when we need a mark, he still gets it done. He a very good tap ruck as well. Boyd had a good game in the GF
I dont dispute Boyd's potential, or that he had a breakout game in the GF, I do think a head to head comparison is a bit silly. Rory was a spindly ex basketball player a couple of years ago, and his development was delayed by serious injury. He does have the runs on the board now though, and comparison with Brown is a lot more valid at this stahe of their careers. IMOTom Boyd turned 21 in August ... Lobb is 24 in February
I'd say Toyd will be playing at least as good as (or most likely better) by the time he turns 24 in 2019.I dont dispute Boyd's potential, or that he had a breakout game in the GF, I do think a head to head comparison is a bit silly.

That's entirely possible and a fair comment, not my point though. My point is comparison now is a bit silly.I'd say Toyd will be playing at least as good as (or most likely better) by the time he turns 24 in 2019.
