Why are people so convinced Boyd will play
Yes he’s mature age but he went undrafted and been given a lifeline
Marshall had Campbell before and stressed everyone out and he’s played every week averaging 115-117 back to back years. He’s a premier rick of the comp (for real and fantasy)
Is it really that likely Boyd is anything more than depth?

Mostly the reports of Marshall training fwd.
Maybe the saints are going to try something different this year.

Yep, Marshall has spent extra time FWD - but he did last season too. I'm guessing that Forward work is a better alternative training wise when the ruck work needs variety or alternatives.

Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised to see him lineup during the season. They’ve lost Membrey who straightens them up in attack. They don’t really have anyone to come in and they have widely known scoring issues. Sharman and King seem to be their talls. Marshall is actually a decent forward.
It’s robbing Peter to pay Paul but they have to try something different. Surely they don’t go in the same as last year. That’s be madness. It is Ross the boss though after all…
Can’t really see any world where Marshall isn’t just the stand alone ruck for the saints. Don’t see Boyd coming in or taking time away from him.
Think last year they experimented with him spending some time forward (which he still knocked out 120s) due to King being out injured. Can’t see them running a forward line with both King and Marshall up forward.

Pick 1...
So far I've run with set and forget, Marshall & mid pricer, Xerri & mid pricer & 2 mid pricers.
Think I'm leaning 2 x mid pricers for easy draw but I do like the idea of Marshall but people still seem scared of his role changing when it never does lol.
If not for that early draw I'd start Xerri but finding it hard to justify when he has Gawn, ROB, Grundy, Witts in rounds 2-5.

Sums up my dilemma as well. I'm sticking with Roma simply because his draw is just so spanking good, and while they might add the new lad from SANFL, don't think it will happen before he has a good batch of games at Sandy, unless, they slate Roma for more forward time - and even then he scores well. There is no-one we need to see in this role in Opening Round, so it can wait.
I just can't see myself going 2 mid pricers, if they somehow both fail you're in a world of hurt and no where to go with trades.
I can see the reason going one though.
Totally agree if when X starts well it will be a nightmare trying to get him in if you have spent the money else were . I hope people just go set and forget like me as i want everyone doing well. Good luck everyone.
