Thought he showed steady improvement last year and poise in the finals.
And IMO he was pretty damned good today.
Thoughts?
Best up and coming CHB or just made to look good by a stellar team around him?

The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.
A consistent performer who does a solid job every week; not unlike a taller Morris. I like the fact that he always takes the front position in marking contests.
Another mature age recruit.

Haven't watched him closely all that often, to be honest. But in the '09 GF, he had a ripper of a game.

Just a personal opinion but Geelong tend to have a number of their mids always helping out in defence. This is great for their team but if the opposing team can get the ball down into their forward line quickly I don't know whether the Cats will be as good this year.
I think our backline individually is better than Geelongs.
Very good player and deserving of his wraps. Played a blinder on Riewoldt in last year's Grand Final. He's the perfect second string defender and rarely gets beaten in contests. He can, at times, be a little slow to make decisions with the ball in hand.
However, he's a fantastic player and one of the best versatile KPD's around.
Harley used to do a lot of 3rd man up stuff for them, and the theory was they would be exposed individually with him gone. However, I think they can hold their own man to man and they still have Mackie for that -
Scarlett = Lake
Taylor = Morris
Enright = Gilbee
Mackie = Hargrave
Hunt < Harbrow
Milburn > Williams
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

I very much liken him to Morris (I actually think they look a little similar too).
I think Morris is probably the better out and out stopper, and Taylor offers a little more offensively. Both are very handy players, and the sort of guys you love to have in defence. Always give everything, and hate being beaten.
He is probably the form CHB of the competition at the moment - his game yesterday was immense. His rebound has improved yet he is still winning one on one contests.
