  • Four-Way Tie in Morrish Medal
    FOUR-WAY TIE IN MORRISH MEDAL ONE week after the Peter Jackson VFL’s J.J. Liston Trophy celebrated three winners, the Morrish Medal topped it with an historic four-way dead-heat in the TAC Cup’s highest individual honor. Bendigo Pioneers Jacob Chisari, Eastern Ranges’ Ben Cavarra, Geelong Falcons’ George Cameron and Gippsland Power’s Josh Scott provided the first quadruple tie in the Morrish history. Only twice before – 2008 when the Power’s Jarryd Blair and Murray Bushranger Fabian Priest dead-heated and again two years later when Gippsland’s Dyson Heppell and Sandringham Dragon’s Jackson Sketcher couldn’t be separated – has the Morrish Medal posted multiple winners. But, never before has the TAC Cup toasted four players as Morrish winners. In a thrilling finale to the vote count, Cameron moved to 16 votes after 11 rounds, and set what would be the winning total for the rest of the competition to chase. Cavarra made his move with a best-on-ground game against Murray in Round 15, but at the end of the next Round the landscape changed dramatically. With Chisari adding his sixth two vote game and Scott collecting two votes, Cameron for the first time since Round 11 wasn’t alone in first place. Significantly, Chisari and Scott did not play in the final game. Chisari played for Bendigo Gold in the VFL while Scott didn’t play that weekend, which left Cameron the chance to break the deadlock. But, Cameron didn’t attract the umpires attention in Geelong’s 41-point win against Dandenong.
