The Tallangatta Football Netball Club, nicknamed the Hoppers, is an Australian rules football and netball club based in Tallangatta, Victoria playing in the Tallangatta & District Football League (TDFL) & is also a founding member club of the League.

History

The Tallangatta Football Club was formed in 1886 and was one of the founding Clubs of the Tallangatta and District Football League in 1945.

In 1978 The Tallangatta and Bullioh football clubs merged to become the Tallangatta Valley Football Club, although they dropped the word "Valley" in 2009, no longer recognizing their connection to the Bullioh Valley FC when the Bullioh FNC reformed and joined the Upper Murray Football League.

The club supports 5 football teams, 3 which are junior sides (under 12's, 14's & 17's) and 5 netball teams, again 3 of the teams are junior sides (under 13's, 15's & 18's). The club has been successful in winning a number of Premierships throughout most grades in the past few years.

The club is very committed in supporting and developing juniors.

The Tallangatta Football Netball Club has a very long and proud history and with ongoing improvements and community support the club will continue to be successful in the future.

In round 6 of the 2015 season Tallangatta broke the league record of "Highest Score" in a match. Tallangatta scored 49.23 (317) to defeat the Wodonga Saints 2.5 (17) at Bethanga. Breaking the 1975 record held by Kiewa-Sandy Creek 45.30 (300) defeating Mt Beauty 0.1 (1).
