He's played a bit much to be regarded as a fringe player in my opinion. We've handed out plenty of kudos to our premiership boys and he was won two of them.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Taylor Duryea
Crazy to think he is costing the same a Scully is costing the Hawks. We need to play regular finals before we start attracting the stars. These two will be handy additions. Both beautiful kicks. May says he’s open to anywhere in Victoria. Are we willing to part with 7 for him

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Taylor Duryea
Not watching him weekly it's difficult to judge him with confidence, though to this point I haven't been much of a fan. Neat kick, nuts and bolts type I suppose, and probably someone you need to watch closely to gauge the value of output. We got him for the right price, just because the system is busted and Hawks got Scully for the same isn't worth worrying about in this context.
However, I wasn't much of a fan of Liam Picken until Bevo arrived and had the confidence in him to develop his game in ways that weren't immediately apparent to me. Here's hoping he can do the same with Duryea.
Welcome to the club and good luck, here's to proving me wrong.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Taylor Duryea
Happy the club is finally addressing our poor kicking, both players are decent kicks and will be best 22 in our side.
Have a crack at May tomorrow and if successful it an A+, if not its a C-.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Taylor Duryea
I hate Hawthorn. I'm just gonna go watch the Second Semi again.
In all seriousness I do believe we will win a final before they do.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Taylor Duryea
I think it’s a solid get, and Certainly a better skilled version than Biggs . Graham Wright was pumping up his tyres in reference to leadership . Clarkson’s the big attraction as is there success over generations. We’ll attract players when we can have some sustained success. Question’s going to be will this recruiting take Hawthorn or Geelong to the ultimate again? I get the consistent finals thinking, but do they need young elite talent to win again

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Taylor Duryea
Could be quite valuable with the new kick in rules.
I predict Taylor will play more AFL games in 2019 than Tom Scully.

You didn't like Picko before Bevo arrived? He'd played nearly every game of 6 seasons before Bevo got there! Tough crowd!

Worst case scenario, this guy is an upgrade on Rourke Smith who played 10 games.

Most on here wanted him delisted as he was a failed tagger(or becoming one) when Bevo arrived
The curse is dead.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Taylor Duryea
Failed tagger? He'd had 2 top 3 finishes in the B&F when Bevo arrived. He was very successful as a tagger, but in McCartney's last year was being played as a back pocket, which I don't think he was suited to. But he was good enough to never be dropped for 6 seasons and only missed a handful of games in that time due to injury or suspension.

I'd have given our trade period a C grade until now. I'll adjust it to a C- now.

In the club we trust.
Welcome aboard Taylor. Your mother had a poetic bent so that's good (I'm presuming 'Duryea' has a diphthong at the end).
