North Ballarat rebelling in 2014
The North Ballarat Rebels have won their last eight games to leap to third on the TAC Cup ladder. That streak in itself would be impressive for a team in any league, but there’s just something more to account for when it has been earned by this young team from Western Victoria. After a dismal […]

TAC Cup’s 19-year-old rule blossoming in 2014
It was only 19 months ago that a fresh-faced 18-year-old from Sandringham Dragons, Tom Langdon was gathered around his TV in his family home of Brighton, nervously waiting to find out if he’d soon become an AFL player. An hour and a half later, 70 picks were taken and Langdon wasn’t one of them. A […]

Drilled Country too slick for lacklustre Metro
With the sun shining bright on a picture perfect Simonds Stadium, all looked set for a classic battle in division one of NAB AFL Under-18 Championships between arch-rivals Vic Metro and Vic Country on Sunday morning.

National Championships round three: Vic Metro vs Vic Country Game Notes
After the game was switched from Visy Park to Simonds Stadium earlier in the week, conditions couldn’t have been more perfect at Simonds Stadium with the sun shining and little to no wind to speak of for Round three of the 2014 NAB AFL National Championships. Metro came into the game without Peter Wright , Angus Brayshaw and […]
Calder Cannons: Mid-year review
Calder Cannons don’t sit as equal leaders of the TAC Cup for no reason. They have plenty of solid depth that is helping them to a top-four finish. They have used 39 players at least twice with a good mix of bottom-age, top-age and over-age players. After a preliminary final last year, they’ll be hoping […]
Oakleigh Chargers: Mid-year review
Oakleigh Chargers have had a fantastic season, bouncing back from a disappointing season in 2013 to be equal leaders at the halfway mark. They have a number of talented stars who will make their way onto AFL lists in November and a number of them are quite underrated. It’s no wonder they are in contention […]
