Player Watch #19: Xavier Taylor – Pick 11

[Sir Hugh Percy]

Surely a sofa is a couch which converts into a bed.

Isn't that a futon? Or is that a particular style of sofa-bed?

Anyway, I think a sofa is more referring to a more upright and firmer piece of furniture than a couch, which tends to be lower-slung and have deeper cushioning?

I don’t know.

But I’m a beanbag expert and I have an ottoman that I put my feet up on when I’m really firing.

These couch experts honestly. Hopeless..

I don’t think we should be using culturally insensitive terms like Ottoman for putting one's feet on. I prefer upholstered foot support of Turkish origin, or empire-neutral lower-limb elevation device.

That would take the only lasting cultural reminder of the existence of an empire that lasted 600 years.

A couch expert is surely an expert in couches? No? I bought a new couch/recliner from AMart a few weeks ago. I'm now thinking I should have asked couch expert Bluelegs beforehand.

Given our history of sponsors folding I think not depositing a penny of my money into Beyond Bank is the right call.

They aren’t folding - I’ve been with them for more than 3 decades. If they can carry members like me then they must be super robust.

And you get a really nice purple debit card

Highlights are just that, but Taylor didn’t look out of place at all in that match sim footage. With no Bowey for an extended period and May playing limited games Taylor has a big opportunity.

He’s already ahead of Howes for mine simply because Taylor has the athleticism Howes lacks plus is far more attacking ball in hand.

He looks surprisingly versatile for his height in the match sim clips.

He may be more of a running rebound defender than an an interceptor by the looks.

And that's fine. We have Lever and Disco who can intercept in the air. But the more blokes who can take a grab the better. For me Taylor is ahead of Howes as well. I think he'll fit right in with an attacking gameplan. Aggressive type with and without the ball. Can take those medium sized forwards. Howes is just very meh all round imo. But i don't necessarily see him as a defender.
