Versatile midfielder who can also play half back, wing or half forward showed definite signs of development and improvement through the year at VFL premiership team Casey as he looks to take a further step up the ranks in 2023.

"The son of 2000 Brownlow medallist and former Demon Shane Woewodin arrived at the Demons as a father-son selection in last year’s draft. Is yet to play a senior game, but was a member of the Casey Demons’ premiership winning team this year." - Herald Sun

    There is always a strong attachment to a father son player especially when his name is Woewodin. Shane has left such an indelible memory on MFC supporters that we already had a strong desire for his son to succeed at MFC.  So the club needs to give Taj every opportunity to get him to where we need him to be a 200 game AFL player. Comeon Taj help us make it up to Shane.!!!

    He looks to me to have this in common with his father: the talent level is not brilliant but he works hard to make the absolute most of what he has. That worked pretty well for Shane.

    Has the skill level and poise and showed great signs in the grand final.

    Something to certainly work with here.

    The games I saw at Casey I was impressed. I have to admit my expectations were low, but he is a solid performer with a little extra. Just like his dad, you have to admire a kid who has had to work hard to get where he has risen….

    Makes me think with work effort and talent he could be a very solid performer at AFL when ready

    One to watch.

    Very neat disposal skills.

    Tough for his current size (goes in hard).

    Seems to have good tank and runs hard both ways.

    In the Grand Final there were few plays where he ran the length of the ground to be the last man taking the mark in defense.

    Reminds me a bit of Langer with the gut running to help out team.

    We are crying out for more good users of the ball (can't have enough of them).

    Selfless role player and should fit into our team nicely.

    Hope to see him make a debut next year!

    Yes I recall seeing that in the GF and thinking to myself, hmm, that was very Ed of him. Hoping they have them paired up this preseason.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
