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

[The Filth Wizard]

I am all bout this thread turning into a Corey Jones love fest. His 07 season was pure sex.

Was there live for that goal in the comeback game against the Swans... I slept on the couch that night.

Curtis Taylor
“Curtis has progressed strongly since he first came in, He’s made some really strong physical changes.
“He gets the most out of himself in every session and he’s made some really good gains with his conditioning and his ability to cover the ground.
“His work-rate as a forward has been really strong, he’s an extremely hard worker and is very diligent with his programs.
“He’s shown some glimpses of what he can do and he’s been a nice finisher in the match simulation that we’ve done.
“The thing that’s probably impressed us most with him has been his hardness and commitment to the contest, and I think that’s earned him a lot of respect early on.”

This kid has the talent and the attitude. He will make it.

 

[The Y Factor]

How’s this guy travelling?

 

[Aberration]

Draftee Curtis Taylor has continued his impressive pre-season form, displaying his skills and tricks against genuine opposition.

“He was good, he kicked three goals, 3.3 actually,” Brown said.

“He looked really good, he was really lively down there.

“He did some really terrific stuff with and without the ball, he’s got some real x-factor about him.”

 

[susurrar]

from the report it really sounds like he is the real deal...

I don't reckon we jump to conclusions from a VFL practice match.

 

[susurrar]

really?

 

[Val Keating]

from the report it really sounds like he is the real deal...

He did a couple of things in a match sim that I got to see. Had to look up his number to see who it was. Didn’t get a heap of it but he’s pretty creative when he gets it.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Might play against Port this week.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Might play against Port this week.

Wouldn't mind it, we need someone with some forward craft.

Zurhaar was quite disappointing.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Would love it if he got the chance against Port, someone needs to put the pressure on Turner.

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Lot of mention of his X-factor but his set shot kicking and routine is glorious going by the draft video.

The positivity about his work ethic and hardness is very encouraging too.

Sounds the type who’ll be rewarded with a game sooner rather than later.

[Event Horizon]

Given our lack of this sort of player at the moment, I am staggered we haven't tried him in the JLT.

 

[Grogg]

Reckon there's a spot for him if he wants it.

The new 666 rule is going to see the re-emergence of the potent "small" this year and I'm hopeful CT is our man.

 

[Billy Not Really]

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

 

[shinboner magic]

Has talent to burn.

Will be a steal

What an off season our recruiting team had.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

There is a spot for him there if he can get string a few games together at VFL level. We sure as s**t need more consistent crafty goal kickers

 

[giantroo]

Bring the boy in. X factor through the roof. Looked very quick in the VFL video.

Bring the boy in. X factor through the roof. Looked very quick in the VFL video.

Can't have more than one teenager in the side at once.

/Brad Scott.

 

[muttley45]

Yep, and bring Tarryn with him

 

[roos_fanatic08]

I suggested the same thing in the changes thread. Curtis has just as much X-Factor as Connor Rozee, who showed on the weekend you don't need to be 85kg to make an impact.

 

[Billy Not Really]

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.
