Next week: Sandringham v Footscray 02 www.vfl .com.au Time to recognise unsung heroes They are without doubt the backbone of Australian football. Each and every week at grounds across Victoria, dedicated volunteers roll up their sleeves to ensure clubs continue to off er their local communities a place to come together and unite behind a common cause. While this tireless work oft en goes unrecognised, it is vitally important that we highlight the commitment and sacrifi ce of those behind the scenes. Just like those in community football, every TAC Cup region and Peter Jackson VFL club relies on the dedication of volunteers to ensure young men have the opportunity to reach their potential. We are also blessed to have many long-serving volunteers support our Vic Metro and Vic Country talent academies and give up their time to help AFL Victoria provide the best environment for our most promising underage footballers. With the contribution of these individuals in mind, AFL Victoria is now calling for nominations for the 2015 AFL State Volunteer of the Year. This Awards Program commenced as part of the Australian Football 150 Years celebration and each year rewards seven outstanding volunteers around Australia with the experience of a lifetime. Each club, league or association is invited to nominate an outstanding volunteer as an AFL State Volunteer of the Year and put them in the running for an amazing prize. The Victorian winner will win the ultimate grand fi nal experience, which includes three nights’ accommodation in Melbourne, the opportunity to walk in the Grand Final Parade and of course two tickets to the 2015 Toyota AFL Grand Final. The volunteer may have contributed to the completion of a major or signifi cant project throughout the year or they may be someone who has contributed in a number of roles over a long period of time. Each state and territory will be responsible for evaluating the nominations and ultimately will determine their State Volunteer of the Year. Clubs can complete an online nomination for a volunteer from their club via the AFL Community website and must do so before 5.00pm on Friday August 28, 2015. AFL Victoria will also be submitting two nominations for the AFL Merit Award which is a long-standing initiative to recognise outstanding service to Australian football.

  • Gippsland Power Last Injury Before and While Dealing with the Initial Shock Week
    VFL Round 5 TAC Cup Round 6 7 - 8 May 2016 $3.00 Photo: Brian Bartlett Exciting time in women’s football The future is bright in women’s football and full of opportunities. Over the last week the next generation of female footballers have taken to the field in the annual Youth Girls National Championships. The Grand Final was played Friday night as a curtain- raiser to the Richmond vs Hawthorn AFL game at the MCG, and fingers crossed we saw a Victorian team holding aloft the Championship trophy at the end of the game. Whatever the result though, in a few years’ time names like Katherine Smith, Izzy Huntington, Georgina Walker and Lily Mithen are likely to be names we hear called on a regular basis at venues like the MCG in the national women’s league. Anticipation has been at fever pitch over recent weeks with AFL clubs confirming their intentions to apply for a licence, with an AFL women’s competition set to kick off in early 2017. Submissions closed at the end of April and it was pleasing to see the coverage given to the host of applications in the lead-up to the deadline. Victoria will field the most teams of any state, which will be just reward for those local players that are draft ed to the yet-to-be-determined teams in our state. While they wait, it is the fans that get to enjoy these players week in, week out in our VFL Women’s and VWFL competitions before they become household names across Australia.

  • AFL Vic Record Week 4.Indd
    VFL Round 1 14 - 17 April 2017 $3.00 Photo: Cameron Grimes New VFL season begins Welcome to season 2017 in the Peter Jackson VFL. Plenty has happened since last September when Footscray was crowned premier. We have seen 13 VFL players provided with an AFL opportunity, selected in the 2016 NAB AFL national and rookie draft s. Casey and Geelong both produced three draft ees, with Coburg, Footscray and North Ballarat providing two draft ees each. The pleasing aspect has been seeing the likes of Tom Stewart, Mitch Hannan, Robbie Fox and Tim Smith debut in the early rounds of the AFL season. The competition this year will feature 14 clubs, with Frankston not provided a VFL licence for the 2017 season. The club has had a rich history of providing a pathway and opportunities for footballers in the region – none more evident than the debut for Sydney in recent weeks of 2014 Fothergill-Round Medal winner Nic Newman. However, it was decided at the end of last year that without the necessary off -field structures in place, AFL Victoria was not confident financial projections provided by the club could be met. We have a strong willingness to ensure there is a VFL presence in the region into the future, but it must be viable and sustainable both on and off the field in the long term. This has been highlighted in the regular communication AFL Victoria has had with the new board at the club. In other pre-season news, at the VFL Season Launch last week we revealed there will be a triple-header of matches for the 2017 Victorian state league Grand Final day at Etihad Stadium on Sunday September 24.
