Name: Curtis Taylor (VIC)
Best position: Midfield/forward
Height: 186cm
Weight: 
74kg
Recruited from: Calder Cannons
Projected draft range: 10-40

Summary: A contested ball winner who has been likened to Robbie Gray

Strengths:

  • Contested ball winner
  • Brings teammates into the game
  • Movement through traffic is elite
  • Is damaging with ball in hand
  • Overhead marking

Weaknesses:

  • Endurance
  • Accumulation

Overview:

Taylor wins a lot of contested ball and hurts the opposition with every kick. He didn't spend much time in the Cannons' midfield this year but did show his class around goal.

Taylor has the ability to take big contested marks and is a perfect fit for any club. He is a big chance to go first round but would not be surprising if he drops to the second round.
