I've been sprung ....what gave me awayPracticing material for your Wednesday press conference, Matthew?
Nah. The only guy that springs to mind who could be that guy is Cook. But he doesn’t have the same work rate as Miers.For those dedicated SANFL watchers may I ask whether Zac Taylor has some/a lot of the skillset needed to play that clever high half-forward role that Gryan Miers has now made his own? We've gone for the defensive option with McHenry/Murphy but genuine teams like Geelong have a better balance and I'd love to see us reach a bit higher and try to get a creative player in there. Interesting to see Rogers debut recently for the Suns and he looks a high end prospect playing in the forward half - can Taylor be that player for us?
Yep, me too, shame he got that injury last year. Looks well and truly back at full fitness and form now and has really good kicking penetration for a shorter bloke. That chain of disposals from half back that he was involved in which then led to his own goal from outside 50 on the run, by gut running forward after his initial handball, just screams AFL quality.Every time i see Taylor he screams AFL quality to me
We need as many skillful players in the team as possible which coupled with his footy iq, Taylor has in spades. He'd be much more effective around stoppages than Murphy and Ned aswell.For those dedicated SANFL watchers may I ask whether Zac Taylor has some/a lot of the skillset needed to play that clever high half-forward role that Gryan Miers has now made his own?

He is a year behind his cohort because of injury. However, I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that he could well be our next Soligo. He's a real midfielder with talent, and already in the squad.We need as many skillful players in the team as possible which coupled with his footy iq, Taylor has in spades.

Taylor seems closer than Dowling - just seems to choose slightly better options at the moment and take it on a bit more?He is a year behind his cohort because of injury.

His tank has always been an issue, and that kind of player has to do a lot of unrewarded running (I think?)Taylor looks clever, skilful and creative to me - why (if he's now at full fitness) would we not give him a chance in that high half-forward role as an entry point into the team. It's clear he's got McHenry covered in all of those areas.
since his poor start to pre-season training possibly caused by his Lisfranc injury he has really worked on his fitness and he is now running on top of the round at a level i have not seen before.His tank has always been an issue, and that kind of player has to do a lot of unrewarded running (I think?)

In the past that injury stopped him. He was showing plenty before he got hurt. Since he has come back his form has been top notch. He's a pure mid maybe a wing though. As stated better than Dowling. Next Soligo. Good drafting by Hamish to snag those two.His tank has always been an issue, and that kind of player has to do a lot of unrewarded running (I think?)
Yes re drafting. Hamish and co have been bagged mercilessly for a long time now, but some recent draft years have been excellent - including 2023.In the past that injury stopped him.

Short answer - Yes.For those dedicated SANFL watchers may I ask whether Zac Taylor has some/a lot of the skillset needed to play that clever high half-forward role that Gryan Miers has now made his own? We've gone for the defensive option with McHenry/Murphy but genuine teams like Geelong have a better balance and I'd love to see us reach a bit higher and try to get a creative player in there.

This is a worry, that he'll walk due to lack of opportunity. Reckon he'll be as good as Soligo.Agree with this. Well done Dowling for pushing his case but my preference is we bring in Taylor, Curtin and Ryan. And I would be making a priority of games to Taylor, and him extending his contract before the end of the year. Would hate such a talent to walk due to lack of opportunity!

Could be a good sub option then to ease him into AFL. Either sub on or off.His tank has always been an issue, and that kind of player has to do a lot of unrewarded running (I think?)
I like the half forward, great-i50-kick role for him, it’s a good ideaCould be a good sub option then to ease him into AFL. Either sub on or off.
Well there is a vacancy with Pedlar's unfortunate injury.I like the half forward, great-i50-kick role for him, it’s a good idea
