I was hoping he might have got a look-in last weekend - even as the sub.
Need some youth and energy in the team.
 

 

i hope we never 'debut' a player as a sub

hate it when others - particularly geelong, who seem to only do it this way - do it

    Taj made his debut this year. I liked the signs in the limited opportunities.

    Taj has some run and skills and smarts to make a very good player. Probably an outside mid/wing running player.
    Hopefully they give him more chances in 2024.

    he's played more afl games than his dad at the same age...

    i personally think his best role is an inside mid - he's the next cab off the rank given jj is out the door for that role

    Personally don't see him as an inside bull.   Yes on occasions but mostly an outside receive role for mine with a portion of inside work when needed.

    Not saying he couldn't / shouldn't but a bit too much potential class and outside run wasted if we were to push him towards a mostly inside role imho.

    Also does he have the physicality / bulk to handle a mostly inside bull role?  Even in the future. 

    Again if we pushed him into it yes he might build up but i reckon you then potentially lose a bit of speed / class on the . Outside more critical i would have thought.

    And/or on a wing.

    Very early days though so anything's possible.

    How good do Shane and Taj look can’t believe that it is 23 years since Shane’s Brownlow how exciting was that night.❤️💙. Taj has a good look about him he debuted in a confident manner and has self belief which is so crucial at AFL level. Hope to see him play a lot more next year.!!

    I saw him about an hour ago. He definitely still looks pretty fit!

    Interesting that when he was drafted I thought he was shorter than his dad. Doesn't look that way anymore.

    He is an absolute workaholic and will have a break out next season

    Like father, like son.

    Looking forward to seeing a lot more of him over the coming years.

    IMVHO he would have been a far better sub that the ones we selected in both finals.

    I too have heard he is one of the most professional and dedicated young players at the club.

    Shades of Billy Stretch.  

    Wishing him a long and successful career.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
