Jets primed for curtain raiser

A long pre-season is over, practice matches run and won, and the annual fitness testing day has passed by, so it’s time for the curtain to rise on a new TAC Cup season.

The Western Jets, under coach Steven Kretiuk, will open their campaign against Sandringham Dragons at Visy Park on Sunday with massive expectations after last season’s finals stint.

Meanwhile, Williamstown will kick-start its Victorian Football League campaign under Peter German on the road against Casey Scorpions at Casey Fields on Saturday at 6pm.
