With his 100th game just one week away, Lewy Taylor (@54.53) joined the Roar Deal podcast this week with hosts Dom Fay and Michael Whiting.
The past five seasons since being drafted have gone by very quickly for the small forward known as ‘Squizzy’.
“It does feel like it’s gone quick,” Taylor said.
“One of the first things you get told when you come into the AFL is that time flies and next thing you know you’re in your fifth year.
“It’s been enjoyable that’s for sure. I take it one week at a time. When the 100th game does come, it will be a special moment for sure.”

Taylor had his say on the Harris Andrews incident and how it felt to be on the field at the time.
“I’ve seen him in and around the Club this week. I obviously sent him a message after the incident,” he said.
“He's in good spirits. It’s a bit disappointing as he is a very handy player and in great form, so he will be sorely missed.

In his chat with Fay and Whiting, Taylor also discussed his housemate Darcy Gardiner, the group chat dedicated to dogs the players have going and the upcoming trip to Perth.

“It’s a great chance to catch up with our staff who help out with the combine and start to put some plans into action for the second half of the year,” Conole said.
“There’s a fair bit of talent in the 2018 Draft. It has a lot of variety, which is what really appeals to the industry and is why it’s been so heavily promoted.

“There are some pretty special players in the group.”
Conole was coy on what type of players the Lions will look for in the draft.
“There’s always room for talent. Some more midfielders in our group would certainly be a positive.
“In this year’s draft, in terms of the
