September 3, 2014: Taylor Made

One for the little men! At 173 cm, Lewis Taylor was not built for AFL. His stature saw him relegated to number 28 in the draft, despite captaining Vic Country and winning All Australian honours as a junior. The concern about recruiting a small man has hopefully been put to bed, as Taylor today walked away with the NAB Rising Star.

Winning by one vote from Bulldog Marcus Bontempelli and 7 ahead of North's Luke McDonald sees Taylor walk away with the Ron Evans Medal and $20k. For the rest of us little men, even those a little long of tooth and wide of belly, he has provided some hope for a brighter in the future.

It's a tall mans world, but some of us break the mould.

In the news...
James Kelly has conceded that the ground is the place for him after an attempted speccy saw him treated for an injured ankle. Cats do always land on their feet, but it's not always a comfortable landing.

Are you already bored of having to talk to friends or leave your stinking basement? Finals Fantasy might be for you.
