AFTER an extra four games in 2018 compared to last year, for 10 of the 12 TAC Cup Girls sides, their season comes to an end on Saturday. All 12 sides want to go out with a bang and each and every one of the six matches are being played at RAMS Arena for a ‘Super Saturday’ of football. For Geelong Falcons, they know they have a week remaining in their season, with their likely opponents the Northern Knights – unless the Sandringham Dragons pull off more than a miracle to overtake the Knights on percentage. For many, it is one last chance to watch the most talented junior footballers in action in what is expected to be a huge day for players, clubs, staff, families and friends.<\/p>\n
GREATER WESTERN VICTORIA REBELS v. OAKLEIGH CHARGERS<\/b><\/p>\n
Saturday, May 12, 11.15am
<\/b>RAMS Arena (Oval 2), Craigieburn<\/b><\/p>\n
In the first game on the second oval at Craigieburn, the Greater Western Victoria (GWV) Rebels face the Oakleigh Chargers. The Rebels are firing on all cylinders of late, and welcome the likes of Hannah Simpson<\/strong>, Denver Henson<\/strong> and Maggie Caris<\/strong> into the side, with four changes confirmed for the final game of the season. Oakleigh has brought in Laura Mayne<\/strong> and centre-half back Emily Hastie<\/strong>, while Elisabeth Jackson<\/strong> is the one confirmed out.<\/p>\n Greater Western Victoria Rebels<\/strong><\/p>\n B: 15.

MURRAY BUSHRANGERS<\/b><\/p>\n Saturday, May 12, 11.15am On the main oval, Northern Knights will look to bounce back from their first loss of the season against an out-of-form Murray Bushrangers. The Bushrangers will be buoyed by a number of stars returning including Rebecca Webster<\/strong>, Claudia McKimmie<\/strong> and Olivia Barber<\/strong> all named in the side, while Grace Egan<\/strong> and Ada Chessor<\/strong> have been named as emergencies. The Knights will look to overcome the loss of Marnie Jarvis<\/strong> who is out for the round nine clash, while Gulia Ceravolo<\/strong> and Taylah Manson<\/strong> have made the interchange bench for the 11.15am clash.<\/p>\n Northern Knights<\/strong><\/p>\n B: 27.

GEELONG FALCONS<\/b><\/p>\n Saturday, May 12, 1pm By the time the Geelong Falcons take the field they should have a confirmed grand final opponent – if the Knights do indeed get the four points – however a loss and the Falcons might cast their eyes over to the other ground where the Dragons are playing. Western Jets will look to finish their season on a high, bringing in four players including Hannah Bult<\/strong> and Kaitlyn O’Keefe<\/strong> who should both add some firepower to the Jets’ forward line. For the Falcons, Mia Sheppard<\/strong> in the one confirmed out from the side, with defender Sarah Hungerford<\/strong> taking her place in the 22 for the match.<\/p>\n Western Jets<\/strong><\/p>\n B: 8.

Hungerford, L. Ryan, J. Dover, M. Skinner \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n GIPPSLAND POWER v. SANDRINGHAM DRAGONS<\/b><\/p>\n Saturday, May 12, 1pm Sandringham fans will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on the Knights’ match prior to the Dragons’ own match despite the most unlikely of miracles needing to happen. For those who like mathematical probabilities, there needs to be about an 80-point or more differential between a Sandringham win and a Northern loss for the Dragons to catch the Knights’ percentage. Julia Redmond<\/strong> returns for the final clash and has been named up forward, while defender Ella Cornish<\/strong>, and Charlize Bird<\/strong> are the other inclusions, while overager Jennifer Ross<\/strong> is an omission. For the Dragons, they have brought back some serious X-factor with the likes of Molly Denahy Maloney<\/strong>, Laura Amelung<\/strong> and Winnie Laing<\/strong> all back in to a side that is in red-hot form.<\/p>\n Gippsland Power<\/strong><\/p>\n B: 47.

BENDIGO PIONEERS<\/b><\/p>\n Saturday, May 12, 2.45pm In the final game on oval two, the Dandenong Stingrays look to make it four from four to close out the season. The Stingrays have thrown the magnets around and brought in Zoe Hill<\/strong>, Alice O’Sullivan<\/strong>, Saige Bayne<\/strong>, Grace Hodder<\/strong> and Eloise Allen-Burns<\/strong> who have all shown they can be important players to the Stingrays outfit, while Molly McDonald<\/strong> is among three players out of the round nine side. For Bendigo, ruck Dayna Kelly-Guthrie<\/strong> returns as does important players midfielder Jemma Finning<\/strong> and small forward Maeve Tupper<\/strong>, while Maddie Baldwin<\/strong> is among four outs from their round eight team.<\/p>\n Dandenong Stingrays<\/strong><\/p>\n B: 40.

EASTERN RANGES<\/b><\/p>\n Saturday, May 12, 2.45pm In the last game of the day, the Calder Cannons host the Eastern Ranges with both teams hoping to finish on a high. The speedy Grace Dicker<\/strong> is among three confirmed ins, while Kayley Reid<\/strong> and Sophie Cameron<\/strong> are out of the round nine side. For Eastern, Paige Buruma<\/strong> returns, as does the likes of full-back Sophia Zappia<\/strong> and Brittany Cubitt<\/strong> as 23rd player.
