Sorry can't give Boyd a vote at 50% Disposal Efficiency. That means of the 44 disposals only 22 hit a target.

Same for me as above, we really need to get this up I now think that he is worse than Cross.

Agree, some of his disposals were sloppy, but still clearly in our best 4 on the ground.

Boyd had the same disposals hit the target as Griffen (31 touches at 74% = 22).

Boyd had 10 clearances, the next best on the ground was Libba with 6. He had 19 contested disposals, the best for North was 11 (Scott Thompson). He did so much work under enormous pressure in close. Had an enormous influence on the game. BOG for me.

Champion Data do a great job these days with Supercoach points. It takes into consideration many factors including disposal efficiency and is a pretty good indicator of ones influence on the game. They had Boyd with 137 and Griff with 123.

OK. 22 possessions. 10 Clearances. 7 Tackles. 1 Goal.

Still an awesome statistical game since that is what you are measuring.

Add in whatever intangible you like that describes the benefit of the teams captain sticking his head over the footy 100 times each week and running further and faster than any other player on the field.

Not in our best 4?

Yeah probably harsh on him. I do love Boyd, especially his hardness and commitment at the ball. As others have said, needs to play within his limitations, which means less kicks and more handballs. Frustrating to see those kicks go out of bounds, or just slammed on the foot straight to an opposition player.

I am like that with Boyd too, think we all are! I definitely get what you mean, it's just easy to over correct and as you say, be too harsh.

Thing about Boydy is he works so hard for his touches. I tolerate a lot more if you are the one actually earning them in the first place. He is like a billionaire who wastes a lof of money. At the end of the he is still well ahead of average!
