Talia displayed maturity beyond his years and experience in 2012, routinely playing on – and beating – the opposition’s best forward. His outstanding effort was recognised with the 2012 NAB Rising Star award. The ultra-professional defender was dealt a cruel blow in the Qualifying Final, breaking his arm in a contest and missing Adelaide’s next two finals

Season by Season

Season by Season

The former first-round draft pick overcame a pre-season Achilles complaint to make his long-awaited debut against the Sydney Swans in round 15. Talia showed poise in his nine games, shutting down his direct opponent and providing great support to his fellow defenders. The 20-year-old has an opportunity to make the centre half-back position his own following the departures of key defenders Nathan Bock and Phil Davis in successive seasons.
