Troy Taylor
Troy is 189cm tall (6' 2"). He'll be more a HFFer/midsized forward.

I believe that this is the beauty of Taylor.
He can do all the 'small forward things'  touched on earlier, such as applying  pressure, pack-roving and goal kicking, but he can also be hit up on the lead.

Oh and i think people should try and refrain from telling others to 'get a grip,' as it makes them sound like flogs.  :thumbsup

He's a midfielder and he's a bloody gun  :thumbsup Will be taken at around 30-40 in the draft I reckon. Hope we pick him up

I wasn't referring to anyone on here Willy, just the inclusion of Hayden Yarran in the list of "small forwards".  God help our game if a 6'2"-ish player ever becomes the norm for a "small forward".  And I'm pretty sure I don't need any lessons in decorum or manners regarding my conduct on this forum thanks.
