Do you honestly think his marking will miraculously improve?
Personally I've never seen such a highly touted fwd drop so many marks on the lead. Never. And it's not a strength or maturity thing - often he's been in space.
I don't recall one single star successful forward who couldn't mark on the lead. Not one.
Additionally, medical or not, Boyd has intensity issues. He brings intensity,he brings game. So far he has only really brought intensity to one home and away game against Geelong and a few finals.
If he can bring intensity, I feel Boyd could be a decent ruck and long option fwd. That's about it.*
(*Plus his wonderful GF - for me any good game he plays after that is gravy)
22. No, it's not two little ducks, it's Tommy's age (and he's just turned 22).
I would say Chris Grant's prime was 96-99 (age 24-27), so patience...please.
