    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

    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"

    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)

    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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
