They (Vlas and Boyd) lived together for a time.
Hence the joke
I watched Boyd play ruck last night against Grundy, it made me appreciate Hammer a fair bit more! Boyd barely contested at centre bounces & did stuff all around the ground, he stood there & watched his team mates battle it out. Not even half a ruck & an over-paid, over-rated battler at full forward. Even Vickery has this bloke covered!
A 22 year old full-time ruckman dominated a 20 year part-time ruckman so you appreciate our 28 year old ruckman more? I'm sorry but I think people forget how young this kid is and the fact he isn't a ruckman but more so a forward.
Also, Vickery may average half an extra goal a game this season but he averages less disposals, tackles and hit outs. It's pretty much trading a dud for a dud except one dud has the advantage of youth and development.
Saying all that, I wouldn't really go for Boyd, it was more tongue in cheek. He's on way too much money based on hope
