He hasn’t made a name for himself in the media as a news breaker, but Brian Taylor has a good track record in this space, and he may have just been the first to reveal Sydney<\/a> star James Rombottom is seeking a move to the Gold Coast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Heading into last year’s Grand Final, Taylor teased an “incredible surprise,” which was later revealed to be Joe Daniher’s shock retirement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And now ahead of the decider a year later, Taylor has again hinted at some surprising news that hasn’t been on anyone’s radar.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“[There] could also be a big Sydney Swan heading to the Gold Coast as well. Watch out for that one. [He] finished I think in their top five in the best-and-fairest for the last couple of years,” Taylor told\u00a0Triple M’s Saturday Rub.<\/p>\n

MORE:\u00a0The trade that could facilitate Christian Petracca out of Melbourne<\/a><\/p>\n

When co-panellist Damian Barrett pointed out that Taylor had a relationship with Swans star James Rowbottom, Taylor was quick to look to wrap things up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Anyway, move on,” he said jokingly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rowbottom is not only the nephew of Taylor, but also finished third in the Swans’ 2023 best-and-fairest, and followed that up with a sixth-place in 2024.<\/p>\n

Rowbottom already has ties to the Gold Coast, with his sister, Charlie, a star for the Suns’ AFLW team.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He has grown into one of Sydney’s most important players, becoming a regular in their midfield.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"He hasn’t made a name for himself in the media as a news breaker, but Brian Taylor has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":175639,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-175638","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-afl","8":"tag-afl","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-australian-football-league","12":"tag-australianfootballleague","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175638","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=175638"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175638\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/175639"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=175638"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=175638"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=175638"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
