Tom spent a week with the club through the AFL-AIS program and his time is up according to twitter:

Probably higher than 5. So probably no chance to fall to us, but stranger things have happened.

A bit about him from a Herald Sun article by Conor Ryan

An athletic key forward from the Norwood Football Club, Boyd has all the tools to have a massive impact on the game.

He's 198cm, 96kg, and leads the TAC Cup goal-kicking table, with 20 majors after six rounds.

And, he's just 16 years old.

Boyd captained the under-16 Vic Metro team last year and looks to be following a similar pathway to another big Ranges forward, last year's No.1 draft pick Jonathon Patton.

Parkin refused to be drawn on comparisons between the two.

Instead he praised Boyd for his leadership qualities.

"Out on the ground, he wills blokes to come along with him," he said.

"We haven't won a game but, in terms of the enthusiasm and enjoyment factor, it's probably the best the club has been all year."

"Part of the reason is because of the strength of people like Tom and Brandon."

So that'd be the mystery tall in the training photos posted the other day. Couple of him standing next to Edwards.
