A key defender learning his craft on the main stage, Taylin Duman continued to hold his own against seasoned veterans in the third tall role, improving his marks and rebound 50 averages. His highlight performance came in a seven-point loss to the Bombers in round 9, collecting 21 touches and six grabs. Duman will aim to solidify his spot in the starting squad ahead of the 2020 season. Tasked with some important roles in defence, the third tall is likely to be an average fantasy scorer with Luke Ryan tasked with intercepting in front of his contests. With little upside due to his positional discipline, avoid selecting.
Just Duman with a man's courage

Hope in Duman nature
In hindsight, the first season off the rookie list for Taylin Dumin was a topsy-turvy one, starting with a underwhelming 48-point average as he rotated in defence. A recall into the seniors at the tail end resulted in an immensely-improved rate of 79, including his debut fantasy ton. His excellent kick-to-handball ratio certainly helps his future fantasy prospects. The Oakleigh Chargers recruit will have to bide his time in the reserves, with the inclusion of Reece Conca pushing Duman down the pecking order for half back flankers. Keep an eye on this kid for future years, but since he currently sits outside of the Docker best 22, Duman should be left to slide his way into the free agent pool.
Taylin swift, not strong
Drifting to a wing at times but mostly at half back, Taylin Duman played out his first listed season in the WAFL in between ankle and back problems to average 17 disposals and 73 fantasy points. Duman is the last in a decently long line of half backs at the Dockers, and if he plays seniors for any big stretch this year you'll know Ross Lyon has given up and is really playing the kids.
