I like Boyd; he provides different attributes to our defence, works his butt off and generally gets the job done.
Every so often he shanks what should be a regulation kick. He’s not Robinson Crusoe in that but it’s more of an issue when you’re in the team for your ability to hit targets.
Boyd’s lack of experience is noticeable at times, particularly when he gives opponents too much latitude, generally by getting his positioning wrong.
On Saturday he stopped on the whistle and gave his opponent an uncontested mark when the umpire called advantage. A simple mistake but probably not one most of his teammates would make.
I think that Boyd deserves his place in the 22 and our defence is better with him there. I’m sure that he’s working hard to eliminate the miskicks and Sammy Hamill will be trying to address those errors of judgement.
I suspect that he’ll miss a week or two and it will be interesting to see whether he comes straight back in or has to work for his spot in the VFL.
