Tayla McMillan Draft Profile

RookieMe had her projected as a potential pick 1-6, and as elite in a huge number of areas. I know we often joke about this but…how did she fall to us??

Loved the emotion as well in the video stream chat. Great news that she’s a childhood Bagger!

Seems like she’s been a consistently high end performer for a few years but perhaps lacks elite athletic traits. Clubs seemingly value that athleticism over previous performance perhaps?

Cue the cliches, how the hell did she get to pick 34?

Welcome Tayla, you belong in Navy.

She'll be our second shortest player, so her height was probably an issue for some clubs.

Welcome Tayla, you belong in Navy.

Possibly her height, or athleticism compared to some of the others.....not sure.

But after watching her highlights, her acceleration over the first 5-10 metres is a standout. She drives from the hips much like Juddy at his peak, giving her time and space to make execute without being under pressure.

The question remains though, how the hell did she get to pick 34?

She's quite athletic- posted a top 10 agility result.

Can only think it's her height and subsequent lack of ability to threaten in the air. Doesn't kick many goals either.

Either way though this genuinely looks like a steal of a pick and not just a cliche to say that it was surprising she lasted to our pick.

Welcome Tayla.

 

[BlueGum]

Have fun adding a different dimension to the midfield Tayla. Welcome.

 

[Blue and Silver]

Curious why she slid.

Go well Tayla!

It must have been her size that held her back. Hopefully, it will be our good fortune.
Welcome, Tayla. May you have a career with us to remember!

 

[Jimmae]

Size for her current role at the next level, maybe some question marks over top-end speed and outside game as well.

If she's open to it, she'd be far more capable in an outside role than someone like Fisher was for the men's team.

Good get at this pick, just cannot endlessly deploy her at stoppage.
