TAC Cup Metro teams season preview
THE TAC Cup season kicked off last night and the question on many lips is, can Oakleigh pull off a three-peat of premierships in 2016? Calder Cannons and Eastern Ranges kicked off the season with a Thursday night match at RAMS arena. Both teams finished inside the Top 8 last year, with Eastern able to make it […]

The year that was 2015
VIC Country might have won the battle, but Vic Metro teams won the war.

Luke McAlister’s Phantom Draft
Hi guys, I’m back again on the day of the draft to release my first and only phantom draft this season. I’ve ensured that the bidding calculations are as correct as possible.

Matt Balmer’s 2015 Phantom Draft
With the minutes ticking down until the first name is called out on draft night, here is my final phantom draft for 2015. Despite the draft being labelled as weak, there are still quality players in the top 30 picks. Expect many clubs to pass on the night, with around 60 picks to be used […]
Who will the Bulldogs draft?
The Bulldogs made an interesting trade to shuffle down the order, which perhaps indicates they were more keen on nabbing a big defender, as well as an extra midfielder. It was a shrewd move, as some of the players they like should still be available. Pick 24 (originally 20) The big fish: Kieran Collins Collins […]
Who will the Eagles draft?

Every club could always benefit from extra run and class around the backline and midfield. An extra small forward would also benefit St Kilda, particularly now that Ahmed Saad is gone. Pick 18 (Originally […]
Who will Richmond draft?
The Tigers are in a solid spot draft wise. They’re in a position where they are a realistic chance to grab an excellent player who suits their needs with their first pick. Richmond could do with some more speed all over the ground, as well as an extra small forward. Pick 16 (Originally 12) The […]
