His ability to look inside and pick an option is right up there with the best in the comp. He's also starting to show some burst from stoppage and strength in the contest. Couple more preseasons under Burgo and he'll be a top line midfielder.

And we have two with Rachele. 2021 draft could quite literally be the difference in whether this rebuild results in a flag.
The crows really rate Taylor as well so I hope he is able to come on and push his way into the side at some point. He has looked really good at Sanfl level. With the lack of injuries its hard to find positions for everyone who deserves them let alone to develop. And the club wont use the sub as a way to debut.

Having a stinker today

Definitely mired in second year blues, hasn't had an impact on a game all season
He’s had a couple of poor ones
NTRabbit
Brownlow Medallist
More poor ones than good ones
Certainly had impact on games
Only in his 2nd year so will still be very inconsistent.
He was crap today, but that’s the biggest load of bullshit I’ve seen on here recently

Yes, hence the 2nd year blues, however he has been consistent this year, just consistently not good
You don’t watch games do you

Funny that this should be a discussion point, moreso than Laird, Dawson, Smith. Milera, Sloane
Conformation he knows Jack s**t

Numbers require context.
He was poor against Carlton, Hawthorn, the Magpies, and the Cats all in a row despite the disposal count, the Saints was his only good game of football in over a month.
You forgot the collingwood game where he was best on and then subbed

He was not, in fact, anywhere near best on in the Collingwood game, and was struggling to break our top 10.
Aside from today and Carlton, where he didn't even get the ball, it's been the same all season - he hasn't at all handled the pressure of games, which has resulted in poor decision making and low damage disposals or turnovers for most of his ball use. He just isn't doing enough with it, and like Schoenberg after a good season, the climb on his graph is starting to flatten out too quickly for him to really be more than a supporting act midfielder.
Tempered expectations for people who think this kid ("that we drafted out of the late second round, what a steal!") is going to be a top 20 or even 50 player in the league.

The context is Soligo has been more consistently good than poor this year which was your argument so I correctly disagree.

The only game you mentioned he was poor in was the carlton game

Last week against St Kilda?

Certainly his best game for the season, but it does stand out as an anomaly compared to before and after.

He was in fact poor in all of the games I mentioned. Where you earn them and what you do with them matters more than simply counting the number of possessions, and he's been rushed and impact free almost all year.
He's still an AFL player, unlike Schoenberg, people just need to start accepting that his ceiling is a rotation player, a 5th man in the midfield, not a league beater.
