Im really excited to see this kid play. Out of all our draftees he definitely has the most X factor. I can see the comparisons to Bolton, but hopefully comes without the arrogance and with better discipline

And the consistency Simo…

It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”

From what I've heard this kid has sublime skills and X-factor compared to Shai Bolton.

Apparently he did his ACL last year, so will he be any chance for AFL/VFlL games this year? Or are they keep him under wraps and unleash him in 2026?
The club that keeps giving.

After mid season or the last 4-6 rounds I reckon he's a chance.

He’s going to be better than Shai

Big call
Can only hope

Shai was and is a bloody good player

Have a mate who coaches APS.
They all had this kid ahead of Jagga and Lalor before he did his knee.
It’s all ahead of him. Kid is a sublime talent

He did his knee in May last year. Won't see him before the 12 month anniversary at the earliest.

Will come back via the VFL and it will be gradual. Reckon Andyy is spont on AFL a possibility last month of the season

This year is completely irrelevant

Is Taj quick? I know he’s silky but we desperately need pace in the midfield.
