Overall

Taranto can be a damaging player both in the forward line and in the midfieldย and was named at half-forwardย in the Under-18 All-Australian side.

He comes from a basketball background and has a great ability to find space with theย ball andย has a great engine, runningย a 15.9 beep test earlier this year.
