Top 10: Ridiculous Draft Rumours
Please note, this is not a serious article. Nothing in this article is intended to be taken seriously, unless of course these rumours do come true. In that case I am a prophet and should be held in the same high regard that Emma Quayle is as a draft guru. This article contains spoilers so […]
Matt Boag: The unknown one
As the Geelong Falcons bowed out in the finals after a shock loss to Eastern Ranges, the side that had been dominant all year was forced to reflect on what went wrong. One man who sat on the sidelines after missing the finals was midfielder/forward Matthew Boag. Chances are, most people who have been following […]
Matt Merlo: The consistent leader
Calder’s Matt Merlo is your uncompromising inside midfielder who is able to do his job every week and compliment the rest of the midfield. He captained the club to a preliminary final and was 20 minutes away from booking a place on the ground for the TAC Cup Grand Final. It wasn’t to be, but […]

2013 Final Under 18s Power Rankings
The 2013 season is finished and this year’s draft crop have completed their testing so their fate is now up to the recruiters, with little for them to do that can change it. This makes it a great time to look back on the season and see who the best 100 players were according to […]
Jason Robinson: The ultimate team man
Jason Robinson is an unassuming, underrated defender from the western suburbs who doesn’t have the fanfare surrounding him that others might, but instead he goes about his business and achieves the results required of him. “I’ve got plenty of belief in myself and the team with what we’re trying to do at the Jets.” he […]
Lewis Fitzgerald: The forgotten man
Oakleigh’s midfield is the personification of polish, and Lewis Fitzgerald is certainly no exception. The Vic Metro midfielder stands out from this year’s crop being one of the only tall midfielders who can provide silky 55 metre passes into the forward 50. Fresh off a 13.4 beep test at the state combine, Fitzgerald joined us […]
Ben Cavarra: An underrated champion
Premiership captain. TAC Cup medal winner for best-on-ground in a grand final. Vic Metro representative. Tied Morrish Medal winner for the TAC Cup’s Best and Fairest. Likely Eastern Ranges Best and Fairest winner. Usually, winning all of these accolades in a season would point to the player in question having high draft prospects, and being […]
Morrish Medal: Josh Scott, the quiet observer
There’s a lot more to Josh Scott than meets the eye. On face value, the lanky forward from Lakes Entrance seems like your classic knockabout country bloke who loves to have a laugh and get out there and enjoys his football. Yet if you look deeper, Scott is a true student of the game, who […]
Morrish Medal: Jacob Chisari, the underdog
With most awards, it is usually for the polished outside midfielder who stands out from the crowd. The Morrish Medal however, rewarded the little guy; the one who physically and metaphorically gets looked over again and again. The one who does all the hard stuff yet the big guys don’t even notice. Well captain of […]
