Should I TradeS. TaylorDEFin SuperCoach 2026?

Taylor returned from his extended injury absence to post just 44 in GWS's dominant 49-point away win over Melbourne at Traeger Park — 22 points below his 66 BE in a game his team controlled from start to finish. The context matters: this is his first AFL game since Round 0, a gap of nearly four months. The 44 reflects expected rust, not a role or form concern. At $446.3k with no SC average to anchor the price, the valuation is entirely speculative. The previous avoid verdicts (R2-R3, following the R0-R1 buy recommendations) were correct — he was unownable while injured. Now he is back, the question shifts to how quickly he can build into the 81-point average that made him a cash-cow target in preseason. Watch — the buy thesis from R0-R1 requires confirmation at the senior level before re-entering consideration.
