Taj Hotton playlist. A little less extensive than other playlists:

 

[Ctl]

Front half impact player, woukdve been top 5 if not for ACL. We’ve got time, no need to rush

 

[Dr Tigris]

Woo hoo!!

Welcome to the excitement machine

 

[Carnthefkntigs]

Hope he can bounce back from the acl. If healthy looks definitely worth 12.

 

[Turka]

We are killing it

 

[bananatigz]

Stoked with this. Top 5 talent if not for the ACL. Absolutely worth the risk with the amount of picks we have.

 

[Grechy]

Great pick. We’ve landed a beauty with Taj. We’ve got our bulls and now we’re adding some excitement around the footy.

 

[Wavvey]

Has all the time in the world to recover fully and get back to his dynamic best. Great pick

 

[U2tigers]

Really excited to get an X Factor type player.

Reckon we knew he wouldn't last to 18, so bang took who we wanted.

 

[Dreamend]

Look at who our high performance manager is and this pick makes even more sense.

 

[Grrr]

He'll love his preseason, hanging out with the other 5 reco's.

 

[juss]

Love the talent, massively worried about a body that's done an ACL at under-age level and how that holds up for the future.

 

[Dr Tigris]

Love the talent, massively worried about a body that's done an ACL at under-age level and how that holds up for the future.

If our new fitness guy can 'fix' the ACL long term we have had a huge steal here,

 

[Madtiger2006]

Hopefully a good Bolton replacement. Was thinking we’d get Reid but must rate hotton highly

 

[Turmoil]

Dont care if people think this was a reach, they wont be saying that in a couple of seasons.
We are in a perfect spot to give him some extra rest and get his body right.

which I am very excited about. Our list desperately needs some of that elusive “X-factor”.

 

[T4P]

Love the talent, massively worried about a body that's done an ACL at under-age level and how that holds up for the future.

Joel Selwood had four knee surgeries before being drafted. It all depends.

 

[cairo tiger]

welcome Taj, go well son

 

[tigerisland]

This kid’s highlights are electric. He is exactly what we need. I am thrilled he is a RFC player.

Top 5 is being conservative.

Hopefully he can get back to full fitness. He's an immense talent.

 

[prodigy]

Back off everyone, I'm claiming him. I'm hitching my wagon to this kid.
I was in the trenches in the draft thread fighting for my life trying to convince people how good he could be.

Absolutely bloody stoked we picked him.

 

[tiger_tough]

Didn't realise he was such an athlete. **** yeah. Really does read like Shai Bolton
