How is the exciting youngster coming along? I know he was injured about a month ago, where is he at Lion fans? Will he see action in the first month?

Ringo

Taylor has been in full training for the last few weeks. He will be given hit outs in the NEAFL and if we are still having forward issues he may debut early but I would be expecting a mid season debut myself making a nice downgrade target when on the bubble.  Leppa has also stated he xepcts all of our draftees to be given game time this year.

So in Short if you have him in your team atm I would replace keeping an eye on his progress and trade in when on the bubble.

There's a bit of talk on Twitter today that he is a chance to debut this week :o
Thought it would be very doubtful after his injury interrupted preseason

Ringo

If Taylor plays he will be a virtual certainty for the green vest given he has not yet played and trial or practice matches.  IMO the vest will rest between Cutler, Robertson, Maguire and Taylor now that he has been mentioned.

@SgtSupercoach: Reports coming in with Michael Close and James Aish expected to be named today. Like I tweeted earlier, @LewyTaylor7 a good chance as well.

Close and Aish definites Rumours also saying that Taylor has beaten robertson for the final spot.

Although I expect the vest on Taylor. Probably come on for West through the third

Ringo

We wait and see Strikes as we know rumours are just that.  Personally I suspect that Cutler may win the last spot given Golby's and Clarkes interrupted pre season. He would be the cover for both. have heard both rumours so we just wait and see,

I'm not convinced either, wouldn't mind it though.

Hmmm, Cutler not named. A chance to be named next week Ringo? I'm looking at picking him.

I was surprised to be honest with all 4 interchange being forwards. Suspect Cutler will be nmaed sooner rather than later.  Taylor will be odds on for green vest due to his limited preseason.

They can change the line ups prior to the game. We'll need Close to go on for Mayes or Rocky to start the game with a bit of structure

Stoked Taylor is getting a gig, quality player and quality character as well. Emma Quayle did a lengthy piece on him prior to the draft and he strikes me as a kid with a burning desire to succeed. As to why he dropped so far, I can only guess recruiters are lukewarm on midgets these days, but something tells me this will come back to bite.

Well done to Brissie on picking Taylor and for their recruiting in general, super effort in netting Aish, Robertson & Cutler. A new era begins.
