AFL Rd 8 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Adelaide

[Thryleon]

Boyd was a mid season rookie pick from the Dogs VFL list...Weitering was a highly touted No 1 pick with different expectations.
Murphy see Weitering, LOB, and Plowman were all top ten picks so again different expectations and bars to set and reach.
Eddie was a good get but I think the messiah label was probably more appropriate at the Crows, when we got him back he was half cooked, winding down and was more valuable as a consul for players like Martin.
Why would we recruit Boyd when we had just taken on Saad and Williams and already had Docherty and Stocker as smaller rebounders/ defenders especially when the first three are that rebounding kick winning distributor type in the main like Boyd?

My guess is boyd was a docherty cover.  Only thing that makes sense is we weren't anticipating docs return.

Aside from that I don't see a lot, but im willing to be patient.
