For an 'elite' ball user, he has put in some woeful efforts by foot.
In fact, he used the ball pretty well all game and 75% of his disposals were effective. Compare that with Weitering - 50%, Williams - 72%, Newman - 75%, Docherty - 83%, Saad - 78%, Young - 82% and Plowman - 89%.
What concerns me more about Boyd is his inability to impact contests; he's not particularly fast, he's not tall and doesn't outmark opponents, and he's not strong enough to outbody any but the smallest opposition players. He did show some footy smarts but, if he's going to get a regular game, his disposal efficiency has to be well into the 80% mark.
