TAC Cup finals preview: Dandenong Stingrays
Last year’s runners up have experienced an inconsistent season and head into the finals on a three match losing streak.

TAC Cup finals preview: Oakleigh Chargers
The second placed Oakleigh Chargers had one of their better home and away seasons in recent years, thanks to having many of their stars play most games.

There’s a reason the Falcons finished third. […]

TAC Cup finals preview: Sandringham Dragons
For a club that rivals only the Calder Cannons in terms of top-line quality on its list, the Sandringham Dragons have had somewhat of a mixed bag this season, owing to the huge numbers that missed a bulk of the year due to school football. Sandringham flew out of the blocks early, winning five out […]
