Woewodin, son of 2000 Brownlow medallist Shane, had a dozen disposals, six contested possessions and a goal assist in the Demons' 21-point win over St Kilda.
The composed performance earnt praise from coach Simon Goodwin and left the 20-year-old wanting more as he seeks to cement his place in the top-four side.
Melbourne host a blockbuster clash with third-placed Brisbane on Friday night.
"It would be (nice to hold my spot)," Woewodin told AAP.
"It's a big match-up and to knock them off at home would be really good.
"We'll come prepared during the week and see what comes of it."
Woewodin had "genuine impact" on his debut, Goodwin said, and grew with confidence as the game went on.
It was a sign the hard-running talent is ready to compete at the top level after 18 months developing in the Demons' VFL side.
Woewodin narrowly missed capping his debut with what would have been the sealing goal against St Kilda, when he burst forward in the final quarter.
"I was peeling off (in celebration)," Woewodin grinned.
"I thought it was going in and then it's faded real late. It was a bit flattening.
"The atmosphere was really cool and with the speed of the game I definitely worked my way into it and held my own a little bit.
"It was a good game to be a part of."
Shane Woewodin, who played 138 games for Melbourne and another 62 with Collingwood, admitted he was nervous watching Taj's debut in the stands with a strong contingent of family and friends.
"He's worked pretty hard to get to this point, so it's pretty special for him," the proud father told AAP.
"It is a good side, pretty tough to break into over the 18 months, but he's done his penance in the VFL and hopefully now he can hold his spot.
"He's got an opportunity, that's all he needed really, and hopefully now he can go on with it."
Shane Woewodin played in the Melbourne's 2000 grand final and watched from the Optus Stadium stands as the Demons broke their 57-year premiership drought in 2021.
He warned rivals not to write off Goodwin's side this season despite their patchy form in recent weeks.
"There's opportunities there for them," Woewodin said.
"Their contest game is really good and their defensive game is really good. It's just more the execution part of the wheel that's been missing for a few weeks.
"If they can get that right, they should be OK. I wouldn't write them off at all."
