Sorry to see this.

There is another club he could follow his dad to...

Thought he was worth another year, go well son of Woe.

I feel like we've kind of burnt the Woes twice now... :-(

He's too young for Collingwood.

Another good decision

If you couldn’t get a game in front of Billings or Spargo, your days were numbered

Best of luck taj. Cruel to say but probably wouldn't have got much of a look in without the surname. Just that level below afl standard

Had a soft spot for Taj..

All the best and hope he gets another gig elsewhere.

Feel sorry for Taj, was hoping that he would make the grade but unfortunately not to be, you really need to be knocking the door down at Casey to stay on the list. Good luck young man hope you find your niche in football.

Gutted.

Just reminds me how good you have to be to even stay on an AFL list! Thought he might have been worth preserving with but I defer to those that know more than i do.

Good choice. Doing nothing, probably only thing that could be said is that his gameplay didn’t suit goodies style, maybe it would have for Kingy, but either way good to have another free spot for another player to get a crack.

Best of luck for the future, Taj. 😥

Taj gave it his best. Be proud young fella, you got to play a few AFL games, something most only dream of.

Father and Son bit of history there. It was initiated originally by the VFL post WW2 with MFC being an early beneficiary with Ronald Dale Barassi being cleared to the Demons.

Amongst those to come to the club by this pathway there has been some outstanding players. Ron Barassi numero uno, Don, Denis and Ted Cordner, Ken Emselle, Big Bob Johnson, John Lord and Jack Viney. All were members of MFC premiership teams.

8 out of a total of 33 father-sons to play for the Demons tasted ultimate success in Australian Rules. Of the others the talent may have been there but not the opportunity.

It could be argued the fathers in a number of the ‘pairings’ had more significant football careers with or without premiership success.

So in reality father-son recruitment is no guarantee to a successful footy career. The percentage strike rate based on premiership success alone is roughly 1 in 4 or 25%.

So Taj Woewodin was battling against the odds. To astute observers with a bit of history. He never had the flair of his father Brownlow medal winner Shane, who covered the ground in dashing style and was a penetrating kick.

Nonetheless Taj is a determined young bloke with plenty of courage and ‘grunt’. Wish you well son.

Sad in its own way, but he wasn't showing too much that could keep him at AFL level consistently. Another one of the multitude of borderline players who become another "not quite" story. This can be a brutal industry.

Thank you. I was wondering about all this. Jack Viney really was the only one in decades I could think of as a son who's had an impact. Fingers crossed Kalani White will emulate his dad.

I don't think we've had much luck with our sons. We seem to have done better with sons of opposition players via Bowey and Spargo. Oh, and Im assuming we've only had sons of two former Brownlow medallists - Woewodin and Paul Couch

No surprise really. Unfortunate for young Taj, but just didn’t show enough. Hope he gets another opportunity elsewhere.

Thanks Tarax
