Following his sublime debut season with the Tigers, Taranto was another to have his 2024 campaign derailed by injury.

A broken wrist caused by an innocuous training mishap forced him to miss two months of the season.

The 2023 Jack Dyer medallist regrouped to play some quality football in the back half of the year and ended up polling a club-high five Brownlow votes, equal with the departed Shai Bolton.


Honours: Richmond best and fairest 2023; GWS Giants best and fairest 2019; AFL Rising Star nominee 2017.


Brownlow Medal: 2024 votes 5; career votes 57.


Previous AFL club: GWS Giants (2017-22: 114 games, 48 goals).


Draft history: 2016 NAB AFL Draft 1st round selection (GWS Giants) No. 2; 2022 NAB AFL Draft traded by GWS Giants for No. 13 (Jedd Busslinger), No. 22 (Max Gruzlewski).
