Season 2016 kicking into gear Wasn’t it great to have football back last weekend, both at AFL and TAC Cup level?

New year, new fortunes The Western Jets made a mockery of their 11th-placed finish last year by toppling the reigning premiers by 26 points on Saturday. The Jets reaped the benefits of exposing plenty of bottom-age players to TAC Cup football in 2015 as many of their top-agers ran the Oakleigh Chargers off their feet in a see-sawing contest at Ikon Park. While Oakleigh – boasting a wealth of top-age talent that tasted premiership success last season – won the first and third quarters, Western took the honours in the second and final stanzas, even holding the Chargers to just two behinds in the last term to close the match out in style. Torin Baker’s team showed just how quickly fortunes can change in the TAC Cup, playing a scintillating brand of football that was in stark contrast to 2015. The Jets regularly thwarted Oakleigh’s forward forays before launching stunning counter-attacks through the corridor that oft en ended in pinpoint delivery to leading forwards. The Sandringham Dragons suggested they should improve on last year’s ninth-placed finish with a brilliant display against the Northern Knights in the second match of Saturday’s double-header at Ikon Park. In the season opener at Rams Arena on Thursday As soon as Sandringham piled on three goals in the night, last year’s grand finalists the Eastern Ranges opening minutes of the game, it was clear the club’s put the foot down aft er half time against the Calder 2016 outfit would be a vastly diff erent proposition Cannons to run out 41-point winners.

Jets and Dragons find attacking flair For two teams that finished in the TAC Cup’s bottom three for points scored in 2015, the Western Jets and Sandringham Dragons sure kept the scoreboard attendants busy at Ikon Park in Round 1. Both teams missed last year’s finals on account of scoring over 300 fewer points than the lowest-scoring top-eight club, but even from a small sample size, they appear to have rectified their problems in 2016.
