02 www.vfl .com.au Female participation driving football forward So oft en I’m asked about the biggest changes to football since I fi rst pulled on the boots and almost always I point to the increase in female participation. The growing number of females taking to the fi eld, and infl uence of women at community and professional football clubs, is without doubt one of the biggest positives I’ve seen during my time in the industry. For the past fi ve years, Youth Girls football has experienced the most signifi cant growth of any segment or demographic in our game. Pleasingly, we are now seeing that growth translate into more females playing Australian football at a senior level and assuming leadership roles at clubs and leagues across the state. This year we saw the Victorian Women’s Football League grow to 51 teams across seven divisions with the addition of 11 new sides in 2015. There is also growing supporter interest in female football, illustrated by the success of the AFL Women’s Exhibition Matches over the past two years. Just last week, 14 girls from the VWFL were selected in the third annual AFL Women’s Draft , joining eight players from the competition who were retained on the list of Melbourne and the . The girls will take to the fi eld for the fi rst of two AFL Exhibition match this year on Sunday May 24 at the MCG. We are confi dent that the strength of the VWFL will continue grow thanks to the huge amount of work being done to provide young girls the opportunity to play in female only competitions. The huge growth in community football Youth Girls teams, combined with the six TAC Youth Girls Academies we now have in place in diff erent locations around the state, create a pathway that one day down the track could include a national competition. Strong growth has also occurred in the umpiring ranks with more and more girls seizing the opportunity to fulfi l one of the most important roles in football. To highlight the growing prominence of female umpires, the TAC Cup clash between the Oakleigh Chargers and North Ballarat Rebels on Saturday May 2 will be off iciated by an all-female umpiring team. Six girls currently on the AFL Victoria Umpire Panel, along with two girls who are involved in our boundary umpire rookie squads for 2015 will take charge in what looms as a landmark day for female umpiring.

Channel 7 game highlights draft ees It was a who’s who of Round 1 TAC Cup 2014 draft ees in the Channel 7 Peter Jackson VFL match of the round last Sunday. Jordan De Goey and were lining up for Collingwood against the home side Essendon that boasted the likes of Kyle Langford and Jayden Laverde. Also featuring in the broadcast were fellow 2014 draft ees Michael Manteit and Matt Goodyear, joining a host of former TAC Cup players for both sides. Aft er impressing in defence, Moore did not complete the game leaving the fi eld with a suspected hamstring injury, while his teammate Nathan Freeman continued his solid return from injury in his second VFL match, with 21 disposals. Tune in this Saturday at midday to see Eastern Ranges 2013 Morrish Medal winner Ben Cavarra in the TV game for Frankston as they head to Coburg, who have included former Calder Cannon Josh Cauchi as 23rd man in the opening two rounds of the season.

Drummond debut soured The AFL debut of former Murray Bushranger Nathan Drummond should have been a memorable occasion, running out onto the MCG against Melbourne in Round 4 AFL action. In the end it was memorable for all the wrong reasons, with Drummond injuring his ACL and facing a long stint on the sidelines. It had been a long wait for Drummond to reach the AFL ranks, overlooked in his 18th year but impressing as a 19 year old to be selected at pick 52 by Richmond in the 2014 NAB AFL Draft . His selection was on the back of a best and fairest season for the Bushrangers, and an impressive AFL Combine where he featured in the top 10 of all bar one test. Drummond highlighted his ability during the NAB Challenge, and aft er 15 disposals in the opening round of the Peter Jackson VFL season, was selected for his debut. We wish him well in his recovery.
