Boyd started his AFL career in 1992 with Fitzroy and played mainly as a ruck-rover, although he was also used as a half back flanker and at centre half forward. He was a best and fairest winner in 1995, his first season as captain. He was also captain in 1996 before the club merged with the Brisbane Bears.
