Curtis Taylor continues to make an impact for North Melbourne’s VFL side.

The impressive youngster was among a trio of AFL-listed talent to stand out at Arden Street in a practice match against Port Melbourne.

VFL senior coach David Loader praised the form of Taylor, alongside emerging Roos Tarryn Thomas and Tom Murphy.


“It looks like something is going to happen all the time when Curtis is near the ball,” Loader told North Media.

“Curtis plays with real energy, super lively. He’s got the ability to jump in the pack, but hit the ground and still be involved in the contest.

“He gets up the ground and can get back to help us win the ball. He played with high energy.”

Give the kid a debut. It's obvious that he has the talent and all the tools.

Park him in the forward pocket, don't over instruct him and tell him to play his natural game.

We could really do with a crumbing small forward.

We could really do with a crumbing small forward.

He's the same height as Ziebell.

 

[desie]

He's got more forward craft than Mason Wood right now, back this bloke in and let's give it a go against an equally young Brisbane outfit.

Can't drop Wood, he's just about due.

Just like Russian Roulette, he fires about one in six.

 

[Event Horizon]

He's the same height as Ziebell.

He is definitely no crumbing small forward, but he plays very differently to Ziebell. From what I've seen, I'd suggest he reminded me to some of Sydney's medium forwards and Richmond's.

 

[Royal Flush]

He's in luck this year, we're desperate for X-Factor forwards.

Until he's half back flanked

LOL! Nice one!

 

[rickety]

Played well today, good man

 

[Pykie]

He’s barely played a bad game so far, good signs for a kid with his physique, generally points to being a long term AFL player.

"First-year player Curtis Taylor also showed great promise and was damaging at times in the midfield." Afl.com.au

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Get him in.

There is no reason why he can’t have the same impact as Connor Rozee at Port. Has all the same tools & tricks as Rozee.

He wasn’t rated inside the top 15 of the draft by some clubs for nothing.

 

[Billy Not Really]

So Mason Wood is dead weight.

Kayne Turner averages 1 goal every 3 games.

Brown is getting mongreled by 3 blokes at a time.

We have no second tall option now unless Campbell plays.

Taylor Garner is MIA.

Where's the forward support? I see no excuse to not give him a game.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Play this kid!

 

[The Nostradamus]

Should have picked him to play this week, hopefully next week.

 

[Heaps of fun]

I'm quietly impressed by Brad playing three teenagers for two weeks in a row. I'm not optimistic enough to imagine him playing four. Would like to see him get a look in soon though.

 

[giantroo]

Saw him running laps on his own today. Got a game to play tonight as well. Dedicated lad.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Lot to like about this kid, definitely the next debut I'm looking forward to the most.

I hope this kid can get a game ASAP but when your named on an extended bench in the VFL it will be hard .
But if he had an old man that played at the club he be playing AFL now and even if he lacked skill heart and determination he still be playing AFL no names no pactrill
