Player Watch #5: Curtis Taylor

[Samsquanch]

Mooney valley or Flemington?

Cranbourne dogs.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Made his own bed when he turned up to pre-season under done.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Reckon he'll be there next year if he wants to be.

Hope so. Happily give him a 1 year deal

 

[The Warlord]

Mooney valley or Flemington?

No, our senior side.

For all the shitcanning of Curtis by The Sooky La La Brigade he played some decent footy this year and he's in the age bracket we're desperately short in.

 

[TruRoo]

No, our senior side.

For all the shitcanning of Curtis by The Sooky La La Brigade he played some decent footy this year and he's in the age bracket we're desperately short in.

Yep.

We do have to remember these guys perceived as not performing for us are likely keeping guys who would be even worse out of the team.

We can't throw all our kids to the wolves just to not play guys of AFL quality such as CT.

 

[year of the roo]

Reckon he'll be there next year if he wants to be.

Don't care if he wants to be or not. He absolutely will not be there. Zero chance.

 

[The Warlord]

Yep.

Curtis debuted in 2019. He's had as coach: Scott, Shaw, Noble, Adams, Clarko, Ratten and now Clarko again.

I'd like to see what Clarko and our development staff can get out of him.

We can't throw all our kids to the wolves just to not play guys of AFL quality such as CT.

Exactly - our main problem is lack of senior experience, he's 24 and played 68 games. We can't throw these types away.

OK, if we get a big crop of better older players in, yeah we can ditch him, but I think that's unlikely.

What you basing that on?

I have heard otherwise.

 

[TruRoo]

Well, we can. But we'd just be having this conversation about someone else in 68 games time.

 

[The acurate one]

Made his own bed when he turned up to pre-season under done.

He did enter the pre-season coming of a back injury.

I'd probably keep him now after perusing our list.

 

[Krakouer Bonar]

I'm thinking he's off to the Saints.

Direct swap for Membrey.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Direct swap for Membrey.

Membrey is an unrestricted free agent

He doesn’t represent as a a senior player - looks and plays like a first year player

 

[The acurate one]

He doesn't but Drury, *Biggsy "Bert " Nuyon, the Panther, Free, Phillip, Greenwood ( ret) Shiels ( ret) Thomas ( sacked).

That's 8 list changes without even trying, so unless we go full slaughter house, I'd keep him.





* and DGAF but Bert Nuyon is actually funny fyi and fwiw.

Keep going man - most of them are rookie listed

Three off the senior list with those names. I know we can pay out but Pink and Bert (I think) have contracts to end 2025.

He can run from one end of the field to the other. We apparently just gave a year to a bloke who can't. We can't cut em all.

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

As one of the 6.7% who never rated this guy I say adios and happy travels - just another campaigner who never worked hard enough and has been at the club too long at it is.

 

[The Law]

please for the love of good delist this betty spaghetti. Another "slider" that we were "lucky" to pick up. Unfortunately for us it went all down hill from there. Failed half forward turned failed wingman turned failed footballer.

The definition of resting on your laurels and being content with life as an AFL football because of the extra perks.

 

[RightWingRoo]

Cut our losses, he ain't going to make it.
Need 6 spots open on the senior list, to allow for 4 draft picks and a couple of players brought in from elsewhere.
So off goes Greenwood, Taylor, Lazzaro, Harvey, Thomas and either a pay out/rookie list move for 1 of Sleevo, Biggie, CCJ
Shiels, Free, Drury and Sellers gone from the rookie list. Opens up anywhere between 1 and 4 spots, depending on whether anyone is downgraded and whether we keep the extra 2 spots.

 

[The Nostradamus]

^we have a spare senior list spot if we cut an extra rookie

Started with 37, can go up to 38 on the senior list (plenty of rookies we can cut to allow this!

And I can’t see us using picks outside 40

 

[ferball]

Yeah, I agree to an extent and as I said I was a fan and thought we'd jagged one. I guess there were reasons why he slid in the draft. I remember the Saints game well, looked at the stats and he had 10 and a goal. My statement was around him having a brilliant patch of games, that definitely never happened.

He had two good games that i remember. But his impact was more than his possessions. He hit contests hard and as a result we ended up getting clearances even if he didn't, a bit like the way Wardlaw does. That pretty much disappeared soon after.

Clearly not true...

He is a journeyman at best, I do agree with your age profile premis however, if we were to replace him with yet another dud ( and it seems to have been somewhat of a conga line last few years) then there is no point, problem is most of the recruits that have shown anything have been perennially injured George , Hardiman, Goater etc... ) , or perennially rubbish ( ccj and biggie etc) .

 

[Samsquanch]

What's going on? Gone to Saints yet or not?
