Harry Taylor vs Ben Reid

[chokewood1]

Friend believed Reid is better. I think Taylor but am obviously biased. Love to see some neutral views on this.

 

[anti_]

taylor.

he has a few years on him though.

 

[Kong]

Taylor.

 

[Drizt]

Reid.

Might be biased though, don't really know

 

[The New Breid]

Reid has had the better season, really hard to split them.

 

[smiddaz123]

Reid has had the better seaso[n this year. No reason not to select him.

AA CHB who is in his third good year vs a player who has had one decent season

really its a no brainer at this stage of their careers

When Reid is the AA CHB this season ahead of Taylor it really isn't a no brainer.

Of course Taylor has been better longer, but right now Reid is playing better football.

His previous years AA selection is very relevant to this season, true.

 

[Donakebab]

But hos previous years AA selection may be relevant to the poll.

There is no way to determine whether it's season or overall preference, since in most other cases like this it's overall that's how I've voted.

Reid this season, Taylor over the journey.

uh based on what exactly is reid ahead of taylor this season anyway?

reid averages 15.3 possesions a game in 11, taylor averages 15.9 possesions a game... and taylor is a better user of the ball, more skilled player, has rarely been beaten at all this year

i think it is much closer then your suggesting, plus taylors AA guernsey and 3 good years of football

it really is a no brainer right at the current lol

 

[golazo]

Taylor's 3 years older is he not?

Reid way better IMO.

 

[thecatattack]

Taylors 2009 GF owns Reids whole career.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Taylor

 

[Kong]

I assume the poll's asking who's the better player, not who's had the better year?

If so, Taylor's had 3 good years.

Also worth nothing that Reid's been in the AFL a year longer.

 

[Dreambomber]

Taylor, easily.

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

Harry Taylor with some of the stickiest hands in the game, the go to man in a pressure kick-in situation.

Also worth noting Ried was originally tried on the forward line and failed.

Bloody good effort for a young bloke to learn and excel in a new position and a pivotal spine position at that, I'm more than pleased with Ben's progress.

Having said that Harry has the runs on the board.

 

[Jeremias]

Reid is having an excellent season, but Taylor is still in front.

 

[Kong]

Yeah Reid's done amazingly well to turn his career around.

Especially considering in his juniors he played his best footy as a ruckman, and then later on the wing.

Sometimes it takes a kid a while to find his spot, glad he's coming along. One of the first picked now and has worked well with Taz and Leon in what must be a new look backline to him.

Thank god we got hold of Taz for this year with Browny going down though, we would have been knee deep in doo doo without him

This doesn't mean anything.

He's also been in the league way longer than Podsiadly, but he's got way more upside.

Age is what you look at.

Actually time in the system and therefore pre-seasons actually do mean quite a bit.

 

[the distributer]

Reids had the better year, better rebounder, better skills, Taylor is some defender though, I think Reid has moved ahead.

 

[Patron]

Still taylor eaily maybe not in a year or two though.
