Player Watch #5: Curtis Taylor - re-signed until the end of 2024

[DesertRoo]

I agree actually.

TT is pretty good. He got involved in one passage multiple times and finished with a game steadying (some might say game saving,) goal in the last. It was very good. For a second year player it was great and he made it look easy.

Anyway after the Saints game I thought it would be funny if Curtis ends up the best of the lot. You can see the potential.

Yesterday I was thinking it's actually a lot closer than it seems as to who will end up better between the two. Can see Taylor doing things like that last quarter goal l before the year is out. Give him ten games to get used to the level, a bit of match fitness at the right the physicality and he'll start getting involved a lot more.

My money is still on LDU..

This kid's not getting dropped now or anytime soon, so cram a sock in it.

He's the most legitimately consistent young player in our side next to Simpkin.

Good on him for taking ownership of that kick but surely Brown just rips the ball away from him

 

[DEVO]

Curtis has to play all season, his development is rising exponentially and looking more and more like one of the steals of 2018 draft with every game.

100%. Love the confidence and ownership but Brown should’ve demanded the kick.

I actually thought the same thing.

The kid oozes confidence, reckon he’s going to have Stevie J moments in the finals one day..

I reckon Curtis claiming the grab added a few extra meters to the mark.
Brown grabbed it at 40 but Taylors mark was set at 45.

Check out the footywire comparison with Stevie J at the same age Tef, they’re nearly identical..

 

[Harris 10]

Some of his aerial work reminds me of a bloke that wore number 15 for us many moons ago.
If he he turns into 1/2 the player he was I’d be very happy.

Now that’s an excellent comparison, assuming you refer to the 70’s and early 80’s custodian of that number?

 

[Psicosis]

The exciting thing about Curtis is he is not one dimensional. Looks a very complete footballer. Really interested to see him develop

 

[Scottroo]

He’s the most exciting kid on our list. Will be a star of the comp when he fills out. Genuinely excited when he as the ball as something happens! Underrated with his defensive efforts too

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Covered the 3rd most K’s on the ground tonight. Pretty impressive workrate from a 2nd year kid.

I love what he brings to the table

 

[Roosurgence]

He just wants it and you can see he wants to be the one that makes something happen.

If he keeps improving at this rate we have a genuine star on our hands.

 

[Pykie]

Just about the best player with the ball in hand at the club.

literally never makes a bad decision and generally has the vision to make the absolute best decision in the situation.

Funnily it was one his major knocks in juniors.

Going to be a competition wide star when he’s fully matured and filled out.

 

[Horizons_00]

I like what he brings to north

he oozes confidence and composure

That’s the one

 

[ferball]

Of all these kids I'm starting to think this one and Kyron Hayden will be the ones who truly blow people away.

Wasn't fitness one of the other knocks? Covered a lot of ground last night too.

May actually be one of the rare footballers that sets out to repay the club that drafted them despite pre-draft knocks and succeeds

He's probably using the fact he was taken at 46 when he was tipped to go top 15 and was invited along on draft night.

He might have the Michael Jordan drive of showing all the doubters what they missed out on.. here's hoping

Got a bit of a rocket over pre season to take his running to a new level.
