St Kilda are considering drafting SANFL Magarey Medallist Harry Boyd as a support ruckman for Rowan Marshall.
The Saints are light on ruck backup for Marshall, with Tom Campbell and Jack Hayes departing the club recently - leaving Max Heath as the only other recognised ruckman.
With the club on the hunt for a big man, the Herald Sun reports the 198cm Boyd has done a medical at Moorabbin and met coach Ross Lyon.
