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 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, , 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 in recent weeks of 2014 Fothergill-Round Medal winner . However, it was decided at the end of last year that without the necessary off -field structures in place, AFL 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. Not only will the traditional VFL and TAC Cup season deciders be played, but they will be joined by the Swisse Wellness VFL Women’s Grand Final in a feast of state league football. As an added bonus, our VFL broadcast partner Channel 7 will provide TV coverage of both the men’s and women’s Grand Finals. The ratings for the VFL increased by 8% (53,000 viewers per week) last year across the home-and-away season and 47% (131,000) during finals, with games to be broadcast aft er 2pm each Saturday aft ernoon in 2017. We look forward to the coverage returning with Coburg versus Collingwood this weekend.
