Player Watch #5: Curtis Taylor

[FootySmartSimpson]

Another excellent game. Some cracking contested marks, great vision and neat kicking.

He improves us.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Where has this come from?

He makes us better playing like this.

Absolutely shocked

 

[tazaa]

Contract year hey?

 

[Horizons_00]

His marks was jizz

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

His marks was jizz

He has all the tools to be a decent contributor as that 16-22 player on a team.

As RF08 alluded to, he could go from a journeyman to a good player if he added another 5kgs of mass to his frame.

 

[amaz199]

That kick to Sheezel was sublime.

 

[TheKanga]

Gotta say we have been better with him in the side.

 

[Northwards]

as frustrating as it can be with talented players who seemingly underperform or don’t seem to take advantage of their talent or situation, it is really pleasing to watch a player basically save their career. Long way to go but like someone above said… he’s not far off earning an extension.

I’d like to see the club wait until end of season and have him do this for the next six weeks but it’s been good to watch and impressive.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

Football mortality has brought out an intensity he never had.

All of a sudden he’s becoming a piece of the puzzle.

 

[pupstar]

Contract year hey?

May be the Clarko affect.

 

[scottywiper]

When you look at the players we will move on at end of year, Taylor surely stays. He probably would have anyway due to the numbers game, but his unexpected form reversal seals it.

 

[kirbonavich]

Seems as though this bloke makes every other player on the field that 1% better. More valuable as a teammate than an individual with the cumulative improvement he brings for others. Glue.

 

[Fart Cummings]

start of the year he was top of my list of players to delist! to his credit he's fought back! gets another year! might help CZ choose to stay

 

[viccles]

Keep this up and he deserves another year

 

[Possession]

Loved his work yesterday. A rising tide lifts all ships.

 

[nelroo]

He has improved his output that’s for sure. But I can’t fricking stand him losing his feet all the time. Improve that and he has a future .

 

[shinboner magic]

Is playing better and looks stronger in the contest.

Should of handballed over the top to the loose man in the last quarter instead of tttuinh the million dollar kick that was smothered

 

[Caracas]

Gotta say we have been better with him in the side.

Also, the team has made him a better player because we’ve sorted out our structure and shape. Curtis is a “cherry on top” type of player. You need the spine and engine room to be functioning well in order for him to excel.

 

[PokerRoo]

perfectly suited to the wing IMO. Can run, good kick but most importantly, has good hands. Some of the marks under pressure were really important. That has always been a feature of his game. As he gets more confident, I think we will see hime hit the scoreboard more too.

 

[Merlin007]

Loved his work yesterday. A rising tide lifts all ships.

indeed

 

[Clarke is King]

Playing pretty well but one year contract at most. All players deserve an offseason but I'd like to see this bloke doing a Sheezel/Wardlaw style trip instead of his usual B grade celebrity gear.

There could be a player here but he'll be 25 next season, time to get real.

 

[bennymate]

I'd just love to see him put on a little size, not a big ask.

 

[Bowski]

The contract year, responsible for more lifts in performance than Viagra.

Keep it up Curtis.

 

[speedy]

I'd just love to see him put on a little size, not a big ask.

Doesn’t want to ruin his catwalk bod.

The talent has always been there. Just hasn’t developed as much as you want.

 

[The acurate one]

Loved his work yesterday. A rising tide lifts all ships.

I thought they sank them
