WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - RORY TAGGERT

Featured Replies

 
 

Dont know anything about him. Anyone got the lowdown?

ANy ideas? Don't even have a photo...


On the SEN broadcast one bloke thought it was a good pick.

Think they said he didn't go to the draft combine this year, might explain the lack of photo

OI! Demondeb! Stole my avatar from a month or two ago... I'm totally confused here.

 

From the MFC website:

Rory Taggert

Height: 188cm

Weight: 87kg

DOB: 22/6/93

Club: North Ballarat Rebels

A versatile player, Taggert is capable of playing forward, back or in the midfield. He is strong overhead, good one-on-one, and an impressive decision maker. He is solid on the right foot.


Great footy name! And great clip on the afl website. the run around on the 50 m arc on the boundary to slot a goal is cheeky

"Taggert a medium forward. Elite mark and kick, knocks were endurance and work ethic but improving. From North Ballarat. Now a Dee"

ooh sorry Dan, do you want it? I can add another.

From Snoop's BF Phantom:

"Terrific sized midfielder who can play a few different roles and has the ability to push fwd and kick goals. Got a guernsey for VC but not sure he ran out (certainly not the games i saw). Has reasonable pace but terrific agility and endurance. Skills are very good"


Thanks to Snoopdog from bigfooty, he had him going as a rookie pick
# 48 St Kilda - Rory Taggart (North Ballarat - midfielder / fwd)

Terrific sized midfielder who can play a few different roles and has the ability to push fwd and kick goals. Got a guernsey for VC but not sure he ran out (certainly not the games i saw). Has reasonable pace but terrific agility and endurance. Skills are very good

Edit: lol stylus, beat me to it!!

Name: Rory Taggert Number: 14 Local Club: Horsham Saints Height: 188cm Weight: 87kg DOB: 22-06-1993 2011 Statistics Games: 1 Goals: 1 Total possessions (avg): 15 (15) Total marks (avg): 1 (1) Total tackles (avg): 5 (5) Bio Nickname Tagz Most embarrassing football moment? Kicking 3 goals 11 including hitting the post 7 times in Under 14's Favourite movie? Remember the Titans Favourite drink? Creaming soda

I'm thinking backline, unless someone told him to aim for the post and he kept doing it.

The 187-centimetre midfielder-cum-forward impressed at AFL Draft Combine in October after he was invited following strong performances for TAC Cup club North Ballarat Rebels.

"I'd never broken three seconds in the 20 metres and I did that for the first time and I had run 14.1 before the camp and I run a 14.8 beep test, so I was happy with that," Taggert said.

"I got third overall in vertical leap and fourth in the handball test."

Taggert reached his goals in those tests but was disappointed with his result in the Nathan Buckley-designed kicking test.

Having prided himself on his precise kicking, the former St Brigid's College student felt he wiltered under the pressure.


Barry Prendergast interviewed on SEN.

Mentioned that having filled a lot of holes in the list in the last 2-3 drafts, so were looking at best available.

Described Taggart as a really talented big-bodied midfielder

 

Reminds me of Ryan O'Keefe

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
