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 […]
Cam Conlon: The unknown entity
At the beginning of the year, the Northern Knights looked as though they had the answer to Tom Boyd in Cam Conlon. The Herald Sun published an article about him only a few weeks into season 2012, where he had taken the TAC Cup by storm as a 17-year-old. Conlon’s first two weeks his 2012 […]
Christian Salem is all business
Christian Salem is all business- on and off the field.

Falcons football factory open for business
Unlike the AFL, TAC Cup lists turnover drastically from year to year. While they are primarily made up of top-age players or those that turn 18 this year, they are also able to contain bottom-age players (those turning 17 this year) and a maximum of five over-age players (those who weren’t selected at the drafts […]
