About

Sam Taylor

Taylor was taken at pick 28 in the 2017 draft out of rural Western Australia and won both his first All-Australian selection and the Kevin Sheedy Medal in a breakout 2022. A hamstring injury kept him below the minimum match requirement in 2023, but he returned to All-Australian selection in 2025 after leading the competition for intercept marks at 3.9 a match. He has played 143 AFL games and kicked 2 goals.
