I know nothing about Jordan Boyd but would've thought we had his "type/size" reasonably covered and that a third tall was a better option given Marchbank was done. If/when one of Weitering or Jones goes down, as happened a few weeks ago, we have nobody to fill that gap...especially with McDonald also injured.
It’s hard to fathom the thinking behind the selection of Boyd. Perhaps there simply wasn’t an AFL-standard KPP available.
