Rory Lobb vs Tom Boyd

[Skipper_]

Both drafted during the same year. Lobb has shown more thus far but Boyd has more potential so who will be the better player?

 

[Heaps of fun]

Ben Brown. But of the two I voted for Boyd. Reckon he'll end up more of a goal kicker. Lobb took the second best mark in the season last year though.

Might be biased but I reckon Tom Boyd. Even though Lobb has shown more to date, he is also two years older than Boyd and I reckon Boyd has more potential. Very good poll though.

 

[DrEvil_]

Boyd. Though can't really go wrong with either.

Boyd, but not by much.

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

Tom Boyd turned 21 in August ... Lobb is 24 in February

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. IMO

I chose Lobb before I knew he was 24 so on that I'll say Boyd, just can't be bothered changing my vote

 

[King_Steele]

Boy oh boyd wowee

 

[Bulldog1954]

Lobb has performed better so far, but Boyd was younger when playing in the grand final then Lobb was when he debuted.

I'd say Toyd will be playing at least as good as (or most likely better) by the time he turns 24 in 2019.

That's entirely possible and a fair comment, not my point though. My point is comparison now is a bit silly.

Lobb is ahead on performance right now but on age and upward trajectory - Boyd if you're building a list.
Lobb if you're trading for 12 months.
