HIGHLIGHTS REEL: Watch highlights of Tristan Tweedie in action for the Eastern Ranges in the TAC Cup.

Tweedie played two games of football this year before injury ended his season early, but did enough to impress with his versatility and game sense.

Standing at 190cm, Tweedie kicked six goals in round one of the TAC Cup for the Eastern Ranges and has shown that he’s a natural playmaker, clean at ground level and is a reliable set shot.
