Taylor arrives at Melbourne as a promising tall defender taken with pick No.11 in the 2025 AFL National Draft. Standing at 192cm, he combines aerial strength with the ability to rebound and move aggressively up the ground, showcasing rare versatility for a player his size. A standout for Eastern Ranges, Taylor averaged 18 disposals and six marks across a breakout 2025 campaign and was named best on ground in the Coates Talent League Grand Final with 25 disposals and 15 marks. Comfortable both as an interceptor and a defender who can push into offence, the exciting teenager now begins his development within Melbourne’s backline group.
