Met some folk from Mortlake today - said the town went off when Lewie won the Star. Very popular kid down there, all his life. The bloke had a Lions polo on, that is why we got talking. Said there is a lot of latent Lions support in the district, & now they are coming out of the woodwork due to Lewey. WHen I said I reckon he will be a 1 club player, he said they had no doubts on that - he is straight as an arrow, & loyal as. We have a ripper here.

Koto it won the toss kicked with the wind and got a lead that the Blues were unable to pull back. Massive upset.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Anyone think he could be captain after Rocky?

So they took Browny's advice then.

Koroit also have Adam Dowie, who is an excellent coach. He would have enjoyed beating his old club.

Who needs a big pre-season at your AFL club?

Lewis Taylor
Was one of the feel-good stories of 2014 when the former farmhand claimed the Rising Star award. He averaged nearly 17 disposals a game and kicked 12 goals. He was also named the Lions' rookie of the year. However, the challenge now is to not only replicate that form but to develop, not an easy thing with rival clubs set to target him more in a bid to prompt a case of the "second-year blues".

THE FEEL-GOOD FOOTY STORIES OF 2014

LEWIS TAYLOR WINS THE RISING STAR
The stats suggested Lewis Taylor should have been a top-10 draft pick but there was one number recruiters didn’t like - his height. All 18 clubs baulked at the 173cm pocket rocket at least once before Brisbane called his name at pick 28. A nasty foot injury kept him out of the NAB Cup but the Lions were impressed by his mental toughness and handed him a Round 1 debut. That toughness had been obvious to watchers of his junior career after he left school and worked on a farm near Terang, travelling two hours to train with the Geelong Falcons. He went on to play 22 games and pip favourite Marcus Bontempelli for the award.

Sometimes you wonder how these kids slip through. What a gem he is and could be Rocky's replacement in 7 years.

This guy was THE highlight yesterday. Took the game on, was chasing like a mad man and slotted two goals. Impressed with some of his ball use as well.

What an amazing talent. There was one particular passage of play where he chased down the ball near the boundary line, somehow it remained in play but he was relentless in his pursuit and regained possession. I said to my sons at some stage during the game that this kid will win the Brownlow- but I said that about Gary Pert too many years ago.

Can play a bit.

THE FIVE THINGS WE LEARNED:

5. The Lions’ Rising Star winner Lewis Taylor showed no signs of the second-year blues with a typically energetic display.

Plays at a very high intensity but remains ice cool. It's a rare combination.

Touch wood - doesn't appear to be any second year blues happening here, he looks like he's gone to another level again.

Yup, his gut running, game awareness and finishing reminds me of a certain Brownlow Medalist and Premiership captain (with a drug problem)
