2 www.afl vic.com.au MORRISH MEDAL Another Morrish Medal for Gippsland Alex Carr knew that he had put everything he could into his third season with Gippsland Power, but never in his wildest dreams did he expect to take out the Morrish Medal. On the day of the awards night, Carr was too focused on playing football to give the Morrish a second thought. With Power missing out on fi nals for the fi rst time in 10 years, Carr was able to return to his home club Maffra to help the senior side reach the fi nals of the Gippsland League. He put in a typical performance, being named Maffra’s best player for the day, but couldn’t stop the onslaught from Wonthaggi who went on to win the semi-fi nal by 41-points. There wasn’t much time to feel the hurt of a physical match and the loss of a fi nal as he jumped into the car for the two hour drive to Etihad Stadium. With Carr’s parents overseas on holidays, his uncle John was there to support him and drive him to Melbourne. As his name was being called out in as one of the midfi elders for the TAC Cup team of the year, Carr was just pulling in to the Etihad Stadium car park. He walked into the Victory Room and was ushered straight on stage before he could even say hello to his coach and team mates. It was all a whirlwind, but Carr was fi nally able to relax as the vote count started. After Visibly shaking as he took to the stage to be presented the fi rst 14 rounds he had only compiled 7 votes, he the medal by AFL Hall of Fame member Brad Johnson, a thought he was well out of contention. shocked Carr thanked all those who had supported him, especially his midfi eld coach Scott McDougal who he After an uncharacteristically slow start to the season worked closely with.

Like an eight-hundred metre runner sprinting home on the fi nal lap, Oscar McDonald’s late charge saw the versatile star top the TAC Cup Coaches Award with 30 votes. McDonald, the younger brother of Melbourne FC defender Tom McDonald, was awarded votes in seven of the fi nal eleven rounds, illustrating both his talent and consistency. Despite being overlooked for Vic Country selection in the NAB AFL U18 Championships, the boy from Edenhope has rocketed into draft calculations. With an ability to haul in contested marks and mix it with the best forwards in the competitions, McDonald could prove the perfect option for AFL clubs looking for a robust defender. But at 196cm, he has also proved a handful for opposition backman, with the ability to win the ball on ground level as well as in the air. McDonald’s 30 votes saw him pip Morrish Medallist Alex Carr from the Gippsland Power (29 votes) and Oakleigh Chargers midfi elder Alex Urban (25 votes) to win the prestigious honour. Rebels coach David Loader said his young star had long been a familiar face at the club. “Oscar has been actively involved in the Rebels Talented Pathway Program from 2012 when he played in the Rebels U16 Development Squad,” he said. “Before that time Oscar was also a regular sight at the Rebels when he would come to watch his older brother Tom (Melbourne FC) go through the program.” “Oscar played seven games of TAC Cup football in 2013 and showed some promise as a developing tall forward/backline player.” “During 2013, he was successful in juggling his studies and TAC CUP COACHES AWARD TOP 10 football workload and from this he gained a 99 ATAR score.” Player Club TOTAL Loader said McDonald had come on leaps and bounds this Oscar McDonald North Ballarat Rebels 30 Votes season.

www.taccup.com.au 7 FINALS PREVIEW Calder Cannons v Dandenong Stingrays Twelve months may have lapsed, but it has not been forgotten who knocked the Calder Cannons out of the 2013 fi nals. While many of the players are different and the Dandenong Stingrays coach has changed from to Craig Black, this weekend Andrew Jago and his Calder side will be aiming to defeat the team that bundled them out of the fi nals last year and progress to the 2014 TAC Cup Grand Final. “It’s a huge challenge, Dandenong removed us from last year’s fi nals series, and no doubt they will be trying fairly hard to do it again,” Jago said. The two teams have only met once since that Preliminary fi nal game, in Round 12 this season which saw a 29-point victory to Calder. However they met during the NAB AFL U18 Championships, with both teams missing key players who were on Vic Metro and Country duties. Calder has just one injury concern entering the game, with Ben Allan Up forward for Dandenong, Jack Lonie put on a clinic with needing to prove his fi tness prior to the Preliminary Final fi ve goals in last week’s Semi Final match. clash Saturday, while Dandenong will need to try and make the tough decisions with a fully fi t list to pick from. Stingrays Talent Manager Mark Wheeler said it was great Both sides boast exciting goal kicking abilities, with to see Lonie infl uence the scoreboard last weekend with the Calder’s competition leading goal kicker Jayden Foster in form that saw him selected in the TAC Cup Team of the Year. blistering form to end the season, coming off six goals in the “It was really good for him … his GPS data was at elite Qualifying Final and having kicked 45 goals so far. level. Another key for the Cannons will be Peter Wright.

Wheeler is aware his team has had a good run in the fi nals, with both of their fi nals opponents dealt injury blows during “I think Pete had a big infl uence on the game, we played him up the ground a bit higher, and he was the one that pushed games.

Both will this weekend be aiming to return to TAC Cup Grand Final day as they continue their fi erce rivalry in the competition. The sides have met on two occasions this year, with Oakleigh triumphing both times in Round 7 by 78-points and Round 10 by fi ve points. Chargers coach Mick Stinear knows that it will be a different Dragons side they face in the Preliminary Final this weekend. “Looking at Sandy’s team there are a lot of players that did not play that day, so it is almost like two different sides. “Last time we played them stepped up in their absence and could be the weapons they Spencer and Dear were a handful for us, but watching them need to make a Grand Final. last week, Clayton kicking three in the last quarter, and the ability of Brayshaw to push forward and Balic looks like a “There have been a few bottom age players that have quality footballer, it will be a good challenge for our guys.” stepped up in that (forward) area that we did not think would With a number of players able to play at either end of the be as advanced as what they were. ground, the Chargers unpredictability makes it hard for “Young Jordy Matera has stepped up over the last couple of the opposition matchups, but also provides options for the weeks and won a bit of the footy, and Harley Balic is another coaching staff if things are not going their way during the one at the start of the year we did not think would get much match. of a hitout, so they have really stood up and given us a bit “We are fortunate with the quality we have got and players’ more fl exibility.” versatility,” Stinear said.
