AFL Rd 3 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Hawthorn

[ElwoodBlues1]

My take on Boyd from the pre-season game(s) i saw him in was that he was dead last on the pecking order on our list and daylight was second last.

Now, i could see why we chose him when we did (even if he wasn't a big need - hello KPD!) but he did have a decent kick on him and didn't mind a run. Between him, and LOB, we didn't have much else (obviously behind Saad...and maybe Martin).
But his kicking was absolutely horrendous in the praccy matches and i can't see how it will improve with the increased pressure of an actual AFL game.
I hope i'm wrong, but i think this is our biggest selection blunder thus far.

Boyds kicking is meant to be his strength but he couldn't guard an elephant trapped in a phone box. Like you I saw his kicking as poor under pressure in the praccy games and given he doesn't defend can't see him anywhere close to senior selection material. I'd even have to suggest LOB is more capable of being able to play defensively when required...
Good luck to Boyd in his 1st game but his selection makes me nervous, hope he doesn't get Bruest as opponent...
