[Toga]

Agreed, won't start with him but will certainly look at him as an upgrade target!

[Adamant]

Yeah, upgrade target for me.

[Ricochet]

getting on a bit now but still can't rule him out. Might squeeze him in later in the year but worried he will do what Mitchell did this year

[Adamant]

I dont think he will drop off that much, 110 avg at worst IMO. Would like to see how he goes first though..

[Jukes]

I agree with Adamant, Boyd is only 30 and I can't see his average dropping 5 points. He won't improve that much but can still be booked in for a solid 115 average again.

yeah i don't question that but i think swanny, pendlebury, beams, cotch and even watto and them will be better starters; I'll look to upgrade to boyd if he's still right up there with them

[zeddyzed]

Tried, trusted and durable as hell. Swan, Ablett and Boyd are must haves.

[KoopKicka]

Certainly an upgrade target. :)

I don`t know if I can fit him him next season.
Such a plethora of midfielders to pick from and someone has to miss out.

Reckon he is a better upgrade target.

[elephants]

Wow, poor Boydy is being hideously under estimated I feel...

[Jukes]

Boyd nowhere near selection for me, I'd put him about 8 back in premo mids and I've only got room for 4, Swan, Gary, Cotch, Murphy, Beams, Watson and Stanton all ahead of him.

[Adamant]

I still reckon Boydy will be a solid 112-115 avg next year....just better suited as an upgrade target.
