Compare the Pair: Patrick Kerr vs. Josh Battle

AFL fans often know what they want. Their club is missing a key puzzle piece that could complete their premiership jigsaw whether it be for next year or five years down the track. For those coming off flag success, they want to be sure their draft selections maintain their position as the league’s best. But […]

Finals within reach for TAC Cup sides

Oakleigh Chargers (8th) vs. Sandringham Dragons (4th) If Oakleigh win: OC 6th-8th; SD 4th-5th If Sandringham win: SD 4th; OC 8th With metropolitan sides back at full-strength after the conclusion of the APS season, this match is expected to be a beauty.

Weekend That Was – Round 15

  THE 2016 TAC Cup finalists were officially decided in a round that could prove to shape the eight. In arguably the two most important games for determining the eight sides competing in finals, Oakleigh Chargers won and Bendigo Pioneers lost, meaning anything short of a disaster/miracle would turn the teams’ retrospective seasons around. Oakleigh […]

Pioneers rely on Knights in last gasp finals hope

THE top eight of the TAC Cup is not yet sealed, but the lid is quickly closing. After Bendigo Pioneers’ upset of Oakleigh Chargers last weekend, the Pioneers and to a lesser extent the Western Jets, still have a chance of making the eight. But for the Pioneers, their finals hopes lie with the Northern […]

Last chance for finals hopefuls

FOR some teams, Round 14 of the TAC Cup will be a final chance to stake their claim for finals. Others will look to the weekend as a way of cementing a double chance, or taking away a top eight spot from an opposition team. A number of clashes are expected to highlight the round […]

The run home: Four rounds to go

AFL Draft Central’s Peter Williams looks at the run home for finals, with the eight teams seemingly comfortable at this stage, but there is still much to play for in the final month of TAC Cup. 1st: Geelong Falcons (11-2) 142 per cent, 44 points The run home: Gippsland Power (A), Eastern Ranges (A), Calder […]

Weekend That Was – Round 13

NAILBITERS, comebacks and finals-shaping results all featured in round 13 of the TAC Cup. In the first game of the round, Calder Cannons got up to all but lock in a finals place with a narrow five-point win. The Cannons had to survive a scare from the Northern Knights however, leading by 25 points at […]

Defining weekend for TAC Cup

CALDER Cannons are arguably one win away from locking themselves into finals, if they have not already. The Cannons face the Northern Knights, which they will head into the game strong favourites to continue their mid-season revival. If Calder wins, it will make it seven wins, with the potential to draw level with the North […]

Weekend That Was – Round 12

BIG wins, devastating losses and a couple of upsets, Round 12 of the TAC Cup had it all. In the opening match of the round, Dandenong Stingrays reminded the competition of its premiership credentials with a thumping 73-point win over Eastern Ranges. After a close first term, the Stingrays restricted the Ranges to two goals […]

Make or break round for TAC Cup

ROUND 12 in the TAC Cup provides a number of must-win clashes that could make or break seasons. In the first game of the round, Eastern Ranges host the Dandenong Stingrays in what could have ramifications for both sides. For the Ranges, a loss could see them sensationally drop out of the top eight after […]

In the opening match of the round, Gippsland Power were neck-and-neck with the Western Jets at the main break, just three points in front. […]
