The BT Who To Root For Against Harry Taylor

Re: The BT Who To Root For Against Harry Taylor

This in particular. Obviously I/we can't repeat everything, but posters can think back to a somewhat recent milestone game where a Geelong player had won down at Geelong. Our players were going to stand for a guard, but then didn't after Taylor continued to run his mouth about our club. So the things he said were clearly of a nature to aggrevate our players to walk away from him and consequently away from the guard area. Ergo, I'm rooting hard to see Geelong finish 9th and him being responsible for it.

I've never heard this before. I also didn't get the hate for Taylor, is obviously a weirdo but doesn't come across as that unlikeable to me. Anyone care to elaborate on this or link to where this has been discussed before? Why can't we repeat what was said?

I'm pretty sure subtle mentions have been made in the past here and there by those who have heard the same thing - not a thread etc. Not sure there's a need to elaborate on my post unless others who know the details also want to. I don't like him, he can get completely stuffed and hopefully his miss against us causes them to miss finals. You can take or leave my post and BADs post with a grain of salt if you like, which is fine. But the facts beyond the words used are that Geelong won, a guard was going to be manned, Harry Taylor was in between it and our players. Our players had to/then walked away from Taylor and thus the guard - it seemed weird at the time considering we man all guards these days. Some have heard he was an arrogant arsehole and said particularly awful things about our club to our players, despite winning the game. This is my first rooting thread against an individual player, I think there's good reason obviously.

Without taking away from the thread, how bad were North not even bothering to give Moz a guard of honour. I know you don't do that for all milestones, but 250 and a special player is different.

22 faux tough men having to honour an actual tough man. Not doing it is the epitome of faux tough men acts.
