List Mgmt. Harry Taylor signs five-year contract extension

[FredLeDeux]

That Harry twitter account better not turn out to be a fake!

This is amazing news. He is our MVP, hope it's the full 5 years he's re-signed for.

The Club hasn't confirmed it, but it has repeated the tweet on the website.

The addy did a story in today's paper that quoted Scott on being happy Harry signed.

And with the Geelong website, twitter and facebook showing the same thing, wouldn't think much more of it.

good enough for me . Thread closed.

Fantastic news!
Unbelievable we have supporters sooking about it. This place is crazy sometimes.

How can we not completely love and believe in a bloke who summarised his reasons for ignoring the considerable lures of returning to his home state as being: "Amazing people, amazing culture, amazing club"?

This is the same Harry Taylor who offered to take a pay cut a few years back in order for the club to offer GAJ even more money to stay, and who has never wavered in his work for the club at so many levels. He is a true Geelong man, at every possible level.

Totally rapt that it's now official, and that the greatest half back in the modern game will now truly be a one club legend.

 

[Catdog]

Such good news!

Keep the signings coming

Dear Freo flogs. Suck a huge bag of s**t, and follow it up by eating a dick. Sincerely, all cats supporters...

This. Again. To the power of infinity.

Just watching Freos cheating, boring rubbish now.

Harry would be wasted at that club as a mark in the goal square forward. He wouldnt control the back half like he does now. He wouldnt drop the ball the way freo are taught to. He would be choked up as just another tight defender.

Harry would have studied their patterns and realised its not worth the cash anyway.

He'd be better off at Richmond. They've been watching Harry and how he beat Freo.

When he walks off the ground and down the tunnel in his last game it will be straight into the Geelong hall of fame.

Probably why they gave him 5 years so him and his family know they have stability until he's 32.

Bit of a clever cookie, judging by his appearance on the Footy Show

Comes across as a total geek, but if that's the reason for his success, I fully endorse it

Didn't think he was a serious prospect in '08. Now he's just signed a contract that will bring him to 10 years at the club. Wellsy just keeps on churning 'em out

The silver lining from losing Matty Egan.

The silver lining from losing Matty Egan.

Blessed really in that sense.
Egan had the makings to be a great (and I mean GREAT) tall back and what does Wells do? Pulls another one out of the draft...

This is of course total speculation - but I wonder if watching Egan grow from a draftee into All-Australian CHB meant that Wells knew exactly what he was looking for when he drafted Harry - something that others may not have noticed?

They have/had markedly different playing styles, though.

interesting that he mentioned Freo offered him a lucrative 5 year deal....I didn't think other clubs were allowed to do that during the season.. obviously it happens but thought it technically wasn't allowed..

Players can't be contracted by other clubs while they are in an existing contract but there is nothing to stop anyone making verbal offers and courting a player so to speak like we did last year with Boak or GC did with Ablett in 09/10.

 

[ATSAM]

Yippeeee. Now he must be at least a triple premiership player-which year(s)

I love this video:

Q: When you travel, what can't you live without?
EVERY player says a combination of iPad, iPhone, iPod.

Not Harry, he said 'i like to take some tennis balls, just in case things get a bit boring'.

Champion.
