Welcome to Demonland: Taj Woewodin

[Dee-licious 1,954]

Named second best. He has had a really consistent finals series by the looks of it. Hopefully it is enough runs on the board to be drafted (seems a given), but not enough exposure to get into the top 30 (so he is cheaper to bid on).

#8 Taj Woewodin

Perhaps riding the high of Melbourne’s AFL Grand Final victory the day before, Demons fan and father-son candidate Woewodin made a terrific start to the game. He was part of the Sharks’ starting midfield mix and got his hands on the ball, shifting onto his right side to release long kicks forward. He also rotated into attack, missing a set shot in term one but sinking another from 40m in term two. He ended up with 22 disposals, seven marks and a goal in a clean display to round out the Sharks’ season.

It sounds like Taj has progressed well.

At first he was going to be a late pick punt but it looks like we are picking up a good kid who has a good chance of developing into a good player.

[Lucifers Hero 40,310]

Anyone know if he has nominated us as F/S and where he is likely to be called in the draft?

[deebug 1,754]

Sounds like a hard worker, always willing to learn, and sounds like Jason Taylor likes what he has seen☺️

[Garbo 1,542]

Rookie listing is my guess, I assume we will have a few spots free

[spirit of norm smith 16,569]

List spots are actually now very tight given we have again contracted guys like Mitch Brown and Chandler who I thought might have finished up at the Dees (expected Brown to be delisted and Chandler to seek opportunities elsewhere). 
 

I think Dees should definitely declare him as a Father Son pick. He’s likely to only require a very late pick or a rookie.

It's potentially looking highly unlikely that he may not get a spot on our list.

I'll wait to trade period ends before we can fully get a clear understanding what our list looks like in terms of space.

Right now some of the recent re-signings have left me scratching my head.

So you think we’ll take him?

[MadAsHell 4,214]

I still think we'll take Taj and Moniz-Wakefield. Will just depend if they end up on the Senior list or as Category A or B rookies.

I expect us to use our first 3 picks in the National Draft and leave one spot on the rookie list. Then as a bonus, if Moniz-Wakefield were to go un-drafted then we could take him as a Category B rookie, giving us an extra player on the list.

I had to read that sentence a couple of times too. Looks like Daz changed his mind three times while he was writing haha.

@dazzledavey36 we love you, but what does that mean in English?

[spirit of norm smith 16,569]

Taj comes from a very good footy factory.  
East Fremantle. 
The club that produced Luke Jackson and Trent Rivers.

Yeah not my finest hour there.

[spirit of norm smith 16,569]

I think (only my view) we shafted his Dad twenty years ago due to $$$s. I’d like to see us rectify that and give Taj a spot on the list. He has the talent and it appears his year shows his dedication to do what’s required for AFL footy.

If we do want to get Taj, and we delist both Hore and Declase so we can take 4 in the national draft (so many ifs at the moment!) would pick 57 get us Taj do you think spirit?

It’ll be interesting to see how many picks we use, I guess the club will need to decide whether 49 or 57 or Taj will be of more value than Hore and/or Declase, based on their current lack of signings it looks like maybe they do? 
 

Or are we up to something with Hawthorn? There were Gunston rumours mid-year right?

 

[spirit of norm smith 16,569]

I think we will draft in two quality youngsters in 1st and 2nd round and then choose Taj (Woey jnr) as father son pick late in the draft.  
 

With our pick 49 currently, I’d like to see swapped out to a future 3rd 2022 pick perhaps with the Hawks or Eagles who are wanting to bring in players in this yearsvdraft.

it took you an hour to compose that post?

Named on ball for WA tomorrow v SA.

Felt like an hour 

[Click_Bate 182]

Taj named as a follower for the WA vs SA under 19s tomorrow. Obviously should be taken with a pinch of salt because coaches love flipping the starting magnets around, but pretty sure he’s been consistently named in a wing position/interchange prior to this game.  

Is this the last game to look at him before the draft?
