TAC Cup preview: Round 11
TAC Cup club seasons are on the line in Round 11 of the competition, which sees a number of tantalising match-ups. Opening the round is the Gippsland Power hosting the Western Jets at Morwell, which has become a sacred home for the Power that has seen them play above and beyond what they might away […]
Weekend That Was – Round 10
LAST weekend was a challenging one for TAC Cup clubs as they relied on the next tier of players to stand up with many omissions due to Under 18s Championships. On a wild and windy day, Geelong Falcons reasserted themselves against a reborn North Ballarat Rebels. The Falcons were top-of-the-table taking on a Rebels side […]
Esava’s eight prompts Vic Country call
“ALL CLEAR” were two words prolific with the umpires at Queen Elizabeth Oval on Sunday when Cobram tall Esava Ratugolea booted a bag of eight goals. Not since Steele Sidebottom back in the 2010 Grand Final had a Bushranger reached the double figures mark and at three quarter time when Ratugolea had seven goals straight, it looked […]
Weekend That Was – Round 9
WET, COLD and MUDDY were three words that summed up Round 9 of the TAC Cup. With the weather struggling to hit the teens and constant rain, it made it the first weekend where no team hit 100 points. In the opening game of the ground, an undermanned Sandringham Dragons accounted for the Eastern Ranges […]
Weekend That Was – Round 7
THRILLING finishes and blowouts were among the highlights of Round 7 in the TAC Cup. Under lights on Friday night, Geelong Falcons easily accounted for Calder Cannons running away with a 86-point win. In the battle of the tall forwards, Falcon Brett Blair nailed six majors while Calder’s Karl Brown was kept goalless. Blair now finds […]

Geelong Falcons take […]
Weekend That Was – Round 6
BELTINGS, upsets and amazing individual performances were among the highlights of Round 6 in the TAC Cup. In the Looking Ahead article, Dandenong Stingrays and Northern Knights was predicted to be the most one-sided contest of the round. It lived up to all expectations, with the Stingrays running away with it by 99 points. […]
Looking Ahead – Round 6
IF ladder position is anything to go by, this round’s TAC Cup action is not likely to cause too many upsets. But, like so many times before, these teams can produce surprise results and take home four points that did not look likely before the match. In the opening match of the round, Dandenong Stingrays […]
Weekend That Was – Round 4
ROUND 4 started yet again under lights, with QE Oval playing host to the clash between the Bendigo Pioneers and Oakleigh Chargers. Oakleigh went into the clash as favourites, but were jumped by the Pioneers who led by a point at quarter time. The Chargers were able to grab back the lead, to lead by […]
