      Has to prove himself first as he hasn't played much senior football but the clubs website sees him as a rebounding defender.
      We are probably hoping to quickly groom him to take over from Murphy although that won't be easy shoes to fill.

        He actually looks like he could push into the midfield - if his fitness is up to it.

        He looks to create with the handball and loves to tackle and tackle hard.

            floats the ball a bit by hand and foot. Didnt see many disposals under pressure in that vid.

                  Ticks a few boxes - young, quick, good kick, can defend, type we are lacking. Seemed to lack game sense and composure, but he's only played 6 AFL games. Did well to pick him up cheaply too. I'm cautiously optimistic.
                  If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

                    Says on Wikipedia he was pick 12 in the 2012 Draft. Is this true?

                      Yeah that's who I thought of when I first watched the vid - certainly a player-type we need. Looks comfortable overhead as well like Farren.
                      But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                        Rookie draft.

                        I'm pretty confident he will slot in nicely to our side, sooner rather than later.

                              Biggs, Boyd, Boyd. Yes we have our Killer Bees. Every team wants to have this but few achieve it.

                              I can remember years ago talking to an enthusiastic Cats supporter. "With our forward line, we've got the Killer Bees!" He saw the look of puzzlement on my face and explained, "nearly every player in our forward line starts with B: Bews, Bairstow, Bruns...and (he scratched his head)..and Buddha Hocking..."

                                Thanks.

                                IMO that's pretty lousy from the Saints.
