So you are basically having a crack at the Roy boys?

Who? What?
It's a crack at whoever posted above me that doesn't understand what irony is.
Didn't think it was that high brow.
All good, couldn’t be bothered going back over the thread. Normally when anyone refers to 95-96 it’s usually a dig at the Roys or bears. No probs mate carry on.

Reportedly agreed to a 3 year deal with the Swans, just have to wait for what will be handed over to the Lions

Three years!

Let's hit the f*ken road!
I'm not that fussed either way - we'll get a 4 or 5th no matter where he goes - but Dan Butler's numbers compare pretty favourably to Taylors as a purely pressure small foward. He's kicked more goals a game and laid more tackles.
Perception is a funny thing in football.

Front running squib. Not a defensive bone in his body.

Wing/ high half forward. Doesn’t have the goal sense or presssure to play as a small forward
This guy has won the lottery if he gets a three-year deal
4th rounder seem right?

Third would make more sense since you are giving him 3 years.
Good pickup if true. Happy.
We turned a rookie listed plumber into a 40+g/season goal sneak, so I'll back our guys to get a NAB rising star up to speed.
They need to look the part, be a little aggravating, chunky, and a punchable looking head.
Looks the goods

I think we also sort of wanted him to become the eventual replacement for Zorko but he hasnt quite shown the same attributes.
That's not to say he cant be a similar player if he gets some consistency.

Deal seems fair for all involved...3 years may be a tad excessive though

Zorko is an inside beast. Has played 8 seasons and registered 100+ tackles 7 times. The last 3 years he's gone 113, 99 and 98 clearances. He's always around the top couple for clearances and it's been years since he wasn't #1 for tackles despite racking up inside 50s for fun and being a goal a game player. He's a star.
Taylor has career averages of 2 tackles and 1 clearance per game. That's Brad Hill territory. Except he gets less of the ball, kicks it less and puts it inside 50 less. I don't see him having that much in common with Zorko. He was handy for a couple of years but really I think Berry and McLuggage have come along and are just better players in similar roles. With Neale and Lyons coming in and doing a lot of the grunt work it frees up the other mids. Even Mitch Robinson who was pigeonholed as a bit of a defensive role player had a pretty attacking season.
Story from the Courier-Mail mail describing his footspeed is one of our chief weapons.
Oficial Lions player profile describes him as "powerful, quick and skilful"

Direct quotes from all the major BF draft watchers in his year:
Traded - Lewis Taylor (2013-2019)
Drafted with pick number 28 in the 2013 National Draft Height: 173 cms Club: Geelong Falcons
www.bigfooty.com
Knightmare: "crazy explosive pace"
Quigley "He has excellent speed"
Footy Tragic "His speed is really electric"
Snoop Dog "Has all the tools, agility, lateral movement speed"
Offsider "Taylor is quick, but not elite, he is excellent not only over the first 5m but seems to have the ability to sustain this pace"
Highlights video with several clips of him breaking lines and speeding through traffic and running away from chasers including "Look at him go" commentary from Dennis Cometti and "Using his pace" from Alister Lynch.
Lewis Taylor reaches 100
Congratulations Lewis Taylor on your 100th game this weekend!
That's the result of a five-minute Google search; I can probably find lots more.
Sad to lose Squizz. He seems like a great character and I believe he can become a solid AFL player and continue to improve.
Good luck in Sydney Lewey, don’t forget to strap on your seatbelt on the trip over!

Five games this year, stuck in NEAFL, those type of players go for a pick in the 50s or a pick upgrade of a few places. Surprised we are offering three years though, we would have seen him close up 3 or 4 times this year in the NEAFL clashes.
