Taylor Duryea (born 24 April 1991) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League, currently with the Hawthorn Football Club.
After Hawthorn won the 2008 premiership the Hawthorn recruitment officer concentrated on the younger players in the 2009 AFL Draft. Duryea was a 5th round selection (Hawthorn) No. 69 overall.
Tried as a small forward when he first arrived at Hawthorn, he has switched to the backline and has carried out a similar playmaking role to Matt Suckling and Brent Guerra. A knee injury to Suckling helped open up an opportunity for Duryea to debut against Collingwood in Round 3 of the 2013 AFL season.[1]
Duryea's unusual surname is pronounced 'Dew-Ray'.[2]</ref>
Duryea played 18 games in 2013 and won the "Best first year player" award . [3]
