TAC Cup 2017 squads revealed

The lists for the 2017 TAC Cup have been finalised and can be seen here

Over at the Sandringham Dragons there are some interesting names with MFC connections. Worth keeping an eye out for these players -

Hamish and Andrew Brayshaw - over-age and top-age (respectively) brothers of Angus (31 AFL games for Melbourne) and sons of Mark (32 AFL games for North Melbourne from 1990-92).

Sebastian Williams - 179cm 75 kg is a grandson of Don Williams (205 AFL games for Melbourne from 1953-59 and 1964-68 and member of Melbourne’s Team of the Century). 

“Seb’s an on-baller who can play half back/half forward and is a very dynamic athlete. He’s a nice little player.”

.....I coached Lachie Harris for a couple of years.  Brilliant footballer, who is the youngest of the Harris boys, and a nicer kid you couldn't find.  Had to work really hard in the backyard to play against the bigger brothers, so he knows how to get the ball.  Has grown a bit but still small by AFL standards.

also, a Stynes and a Brereton in Sandy... surely no relation? Im up country so have no idea...

Son of Brian Stynes? Jim's son is only about 12.

Wonder if the AFL can 'manufacture' a way for SOB to slip through to us (if he's good enough) even though his dad only played a couple of games.

Definitely sons of Brian Stynes and Dermie respectively.

Might be a tough gig to get young Stynes through as a father/son due to the fact that his father only played 2 games. Would he come under the international player rule?

If born in Ireland with only an EU passport???

We are in the opening round of the TAC Cup and Eastern Rangers forward Jaidyn Stephenson was yesterday's hero with five goals in his team's nine goal demolition of the Calder Cannons.

Today, the Sandringham Dragons won 17.10.112 to Oakleigh Chargers 8.8.56 with the highlight being four goals to 201cm debutant Max King. Based on the name and the height there's a fair chance he might end up at Melbourne where his namesake was on the rookie list for a few years recently.

Went along to see a couple of games on the weekend at Ikon/Optus/Visy/Judd Park. 

Eastern Ranges has some great talent this year in Stephenson & Hayes as well as Sandy Dragons look the goods, the other Brayshaw brothers Andrew & Hamish played for Sandy with Hamish playing as an overage player this season.  Its a good time to watch TAC Cup as after Easter school footy starts and dilutes the competition of talent.

Very interesting game this weekend with the 20 years AFL academy anniversary game a curtain raiser for the Essendon V Carlton.  Best 30 draft year players in the country going at on the G in April which will be a first.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
