If Taylor happens to grow another 1-2cm or even more look out. Imagine a 193-195cm Taylor running around 8)

Could we get some nutter backyard doctor to mess with his pituitary gland and get him to 240cm+.

Imagine a 7'8" Taylor running around.

Reprieve for Tiger Taylor (ABC news)

Reprieve for Tiger Taylor
abc.net.au
By Rob Cross


Richmond footballer Troy Taylor has avoided further penalty for breaching sentencing conditions.

Taylor had been ordered to stay out of trouble for four months, after breaching an existing Supreme Court sentence.

The 19-year old failed to meet the conditions when he was convicted by the Alice Springs Magistrates Court for two assaults on New Year's Eve 2009.

The Northern Territory Supreme Court today decided against further penalties, saying it was satisfied Taylor had taken positive steps towards rehabilitation.

Perhaps but needs more bulk. Needs to get up around 88-90Kgs I reckon

It's funny how we pile expectations on these kids and then rip them down when it goes haywire.  It wasn't so long ago that some 'supporters' were calling for Troy to be:

jailed
left in the NT to rot
the last indig player to be drafted, ever
get his marching orders


And now, cos he has put on a couple of cms, which is something way out of his control, we are talking him up.

He needs to get on the track, push himself to his limits and present himself as being physically and mentally ready to play senior football.


Then he needs to be a consistent player.  Forget about the x-factor excitement stuff.  Too many players are cursed with this.  I want him to bust a gut and be the best he can be.  If this means he takes one less speccy a week and gets five more hard ball gets then I will applaud him.

Thats just unrealistic gerk. He's too tall to be anything like Jimmy Krakouer.
Daryl White would be a more realistic option.

Interesting the comparisons with some other players regarding his height:

Goodes - 194cm
Lockett - 191cm
Lloyd - 192cm
Lucas - 192cm
Roughead - 193cm
Bradshaw - 191cm
Lynch - 193cm
Hall - 194cm

At 192cm it certainly won't be height that stops him from becoming a KPP.
