Geelong seized Cameron Taheny with their third-round pick in the recent draft, admiring the Norwood forward's left foot and acceleration, after he ran a sub-three second 20m sprint at the draft combine. Despite an injury-interrupted Championships, the coaching staff saw enough in the SANFL where Taheny averaged 2.5 goals in seven matches at a fantasy rate of 60. No matter which way we look at it, it's hard to see Taheny cracking the senior side early in his first year. Let him fizzle into the forgotten for now, especially since he has a lot of competition for spots ahead of him as the Cats search for a frontal pressure specialist, though a late-season free agent pool pick up is not out of the question.
Taheny is secret sauce
