Player Watch #5: Curtis Taylor

[hotchilli]

I think everyone could agree early in the year some players effort was conditional. Feel like at the very least he competes, and is willing to put his body on the line.

Unfortunately for a guy who is 24 and been in the system for 6 years he still gets brushed off like a fresh drafted 18 year old when he tries to tackle.

 

[Topparoo]

Not sure what he's doing. 75% TOG but gets little of the ball, doesn't gain ground, doesn't score.

Marks it well but not often, sticks the odd tackle but is usually shrugged off.

He does have some talent but unsure what role he's playing.

Sounds a lot like Kayne Turner's profile. Could be on the list for another 5 years

 

[BlueandWhiteinmyBlood]

The lineup positions mean nothing, have a look where Sheezel is named.

But if you are on the field you are in the 22, anyone on the extended bench is at risk of being dropped or not being picked.

Yeah but it's a comment about him being named as a half forward flank, position is irrelevant.

When you get owned by tsatsis there isnt anywhere to hide.

Kayno might have been a lot of things but tsatis wouldnt have molested him

What are the chances of a mod fixing this?

Considering we just had a 3 page discussion on Pizza in the non-north thread, not that high

Wow no love for Curtis. Did well, had a couple of silly moments but 22 and six tackles. I knew I was right taking him off the shitmen list .

Played his best game for North. Very good with one costly blemish. We should be playing him if he can keep this up. A good past fortnight.

 

[Liam Boy]

He was a lot better. Encouraging signs, might just save his career.

 

[Devington]

Strengths increasingly on display, while weaknesses less apparent. Was worried about his development for a while, but he's making a mockery of that concern in recent weeks.

EDIT: Oh, this is the OTHER Curtis' thread. Umm. Yeah today he was good. No real issues. Hopefully there's many more games like it!

So I reckon Taylor, Phillips saved their careers with us today . I believe both would get a chance elsewhere fwiw and we found someone hungry for a contest in Teakle. No four points but in general it was a good outing.

 

[The Nostradamus]

One of our best today

You love making it hard on people,he was good, as good as I've seen him,but allow folk some wriggle room ffs.

ANd I've been back on board since his return fyi

 

[Makeshift Park]

I watched that whole game very intently and I'm still surprised to learn he got 22 disposals.

 

[King Corey]

Don't rate him but his tackling and nouse to follow the play were strong today. But it's a low bar, he made some appalling decisions and looks to have switched off his ability to make any play in the process.

That said keeps his spot.

 

[Sphynx]

Best game of his career according to AFL Ratings and the CD guys.

 

[The Maestro]

When the heat was on, he was reliable to halve contests and compete. Is a good runner as well and has been really solid.

If he keeps this up will be an important role player for the team.

 

[Firebat]

Funny what second half of contract years does to flakey players… If we resign him, 12 months only please.
