Never have I wanted the option to use a laughing and crying emoji at the same time on the one post more than I do now.

Bit reminiscent of Jayden Short, or (dare I say it) Zach Tuohy...?

I’d say no but not against it...
Think just about everyone on here has bemoaned our inability to lock down oppo small forwards for what feels like an eternity, let’s hope we might’ve finally addressed this
Hope he gets his opportunity soon and grabs it. Best of luck, Jordan...

he can kick and defend. Doesn’t bode well for him.
So like the old days when you had mid-season transfers, does Boyd on week play for Footscray and then the next week just plays for Carlton ?
My thorough armchair recruiting, which involved watching 2mins of highlights, suggests the kid can play.
Has a good kicking action, penetrating kick, composed running style, decent pace, degree of physicality and purpose to his actions. Definitely not the worst pick.
As has been stated above, at a minimum he improves our 2s.
Welcome Boyd.

Nobody is asking the obvious question. How does he go playing out of position?
Never seen him dont know a thing of him but If Boyd is quick and can kick wish him all the luck in the world 2 commodities we are in short supply of .
Better still if he could be that elusive lockdown defender that weve been craving for like forever!!

His video highlights look promising. They are alas highlights only. The suggestion to play him as a small defender is not a bad one. Might release Saad up the field in a more attacking role if he can bring some of what we see in those highlights to our games and he can defend. Good luck Jordan and welcome.

Probably worth noting that the club write-up on him suggests that we see him being part of our forward mix, not playing down back.
Jimmae
Brownlow Medallist
Dylan Buckley sans foot/ankle issues, so he actually nails his passes.
Spitting image of how he played the game, maybe a hair less pace and agility, but the same read and intent.
This is a very astute pick.
