    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.

    CHAMPION/DATA/ISSUE 16 Hi and welcome to the sixteenth edition of the Fantasy Freako’s rave for 2011. We dodged a bullet last round with news that Gary Ablett’s knee injury isn’t as bad as first thought. He’s now an outside chance to face Richmond this week, which would relieve the thousands of coaches that traded him in last round. Enjoy this week’s rave and good luck to everyone for the upcoming round. NO SIGN OF HOME SICKNESS GET READY TO POUNCE! It’s one thing to perform on your home deck, but to do it away from With most of us close to finalising our sides, it’s vital that we bring home as well is an added bonus.

Some are defined by their closeness, others by displays of individual brilliance. This Grand Final will be remembered for its justice — and it was truly grand. Geelong was the stand-out team of this year — perhaps not 119 points better than any other, but vastly superior all the same. SHS 30-SEP-2007 PAGE Through the final weeks of the home and away season and in the finals, the one thing that gave hope to the other teams was that the Cats might choke, strangled by the bur- K den of 44 flagless years. There was choking at the ’G all Y right, but not by any of the blue-and- M white hooped brigade as it dominated a Grand Final the way no C other one has been dominated before. With such a margin, it is almost superfluous to say Geelong didn’t have a bad player. Steve Johnson was a worthy Norm Smith medallist with four goals, including two in the first term when the contest still had life, but this was the ultimate team performance. FB123 A measure of the depth of talent was that Brownlow medallist Jimmy Bartel and the mate he beat for it, Gary Ablett, were not in their team’s top six best players. They were both good — but others were better. Paul Chapman, whose mix of hardness and skill continually Catch me if you can: Gary Ablett brilliantly gets through a bunch of Port players.
