With pick 28 in the 2017 NAB AFL Draft, the GIANTS selected Sam Taylor.

Taylor is a graduate of the NAB AFL Academy and is a tall defender who is strong overhead and very composed when under pressure.

He uses the ball well when setting up play from defence and is team-oriented.

GIANTS National Recruiting Manager Adrian Caruso said: “He’s a key defender from WA with speed and competitiveness.

“He’s got enormous upside and the mentality to do the hard work.”

Had a fantastic NAB AFL Under-18 Championships for Western Australia, winning All Australian honours.
