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.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
