Overview:
Taylor wins a lot of contested ball and hurts the opposition with every kick. He didn't spend much time in the Cannons' midfield this year but did show his class around goal.
Taylor has the ability to take big contested marks and is a perfect fit for any club. He is a big chance to go first round but would not be surprising if he drops to the second round.
