I'm more than happy for this to blow up in my face when he becomes an 80 goal a year forward. Nothing would make me happier.

But there's a reason I didn't gush about Liam Jones in that infamous WOOF thread. As a counterpoint, Jones' career stats compared to Boyd are better at the same age. More marks on average, more goals on average and the same disposals despite being a focal point inside the forward 50. Yes, Jones didn't have the ruck to worry about but it's not as if Boyd has rucked 1 out for every single one of his matches.
