Indy Tahau is a young South Australian talent and a player with a huge amount of potential. Prior to joining her first AFLW club in the Brisbane Lions, Tahau played at South Adelaide in the SANFLW and was named best on ground in the 2019 grand final at just 16 years of age.
The 22-year-old has got an impressive jump on her footballing career, currently holding a good amount of senior games under her belt – including a grand final win in 2021 where she lined up alongside Port Adelaide head coach Lauren Arnell.
Described as a ‘true utility’, Tahau has shown talent in all areas of the ground. She has spent the majority of her senior games in the backline where her strong overhead and excellent ground level pressure has helped her excel, however has shown a strong appetite for goal as well. A move to the forward line in 2025 had her emerge as one of the competition's most dangerous forwards, proving incredibly damaging in front of goal. She went on to kick 25 goals in the home and away season - taking out the competition's goalkicking award and setting a new league record in the process. Her impressive year earned her a third place finish in the club's 2025 Best & Fairest and a maiden All-Australian selection.
