When it comes to potential upside, Alix Tauru has one of the highest ceilings in the AFL. And he's going to need it with the way he flies.

Dubbed the ’Flying Viking’ for his presence in the air and marking ability, Tauru made his AFL debut halfway through the 2025 season and instantly became a fan favourite, with Saints fans donning Viking helmets and roaring at every spoil.

A smooth mover across the ground despite his 194cm frame, Tauru played 10 games in 2025 and will now have an uninterrupted pre season - which is a scary thought for forward lines across the league.
