A Werribee Tigers promotion West Wing This week I catch up with young Kangaroos player Tim McGenniss who has been playing at Werribee. SW: How is it going mate? TMc: We just had a hard training session but we have the weekend off which I am really looking forward to. SW: What are your plans? TMc: I will head home and see my mates and probably watch them play in local footy in the arvo and obviously head to the Kangas game against the Bulldogs then just relax and freshen up for next week. SW: Where is home? TMc: Beautiful bayside Frankston. SW: What club did you play for? TMc: Frankston YCW and they are a pretty handy club they have won the last three premierships and probably favorites to make it four this year. SW: What was your pathway to becoming a Kangaroo? TMc: I played local footy up until the last year of the under 18’s and I got picked for the Dandenong Stingrays in the TAC Cup and played a few games and lucky enough to get picked up in the rookie draft this year. SW: Who were some of the players you came through with? TMc: Taylor Garner who is also at the Kangaroos, Lachy Whitfield, the number one pick, Lewis Pierce and Nathan Wright(St. Kilda). SW: Does it make it easier coming into AFL with someone you played with? TMc: It definitely helps; Taylor was already here so he showed little things to do. SW: A Little birdie told me you were a different body shape when you were 15? TMc: Yes I was probably 94 kilos and 177 centimeters tall and my nickname was “Plugger” because I played full forward. I started going to the gym and started running, ate healthy and got fit. It was definitely my diet. I probably ate three kilos of salami a week and lots of chips with gravy. SW: Any players that you are following as a role model type? TMc: On the track I always watch Sam Gibson and Andrew Swallow because they are the ultimate professionals. SW: Drafted to North Melbourne but you are playing for Werribee How have you found that? TMc: At the start it was a bit awkward. After round one playing a game together all the boys get around you. It is pretty much like it is your footy club. Once you embrace it, it is good. I am enjoying my footy at Werribee. SW: What are your aims for this year? TMc: Personally I just want to play consistent footy, not be in one week out the other. Just want to keep getting my hands on the ball and playing my team role. Hopefully getting some wins on the board and hopefully play deep into the finals. SW: Thanks for your time. A proud sponsor of the Werribee Football Club G5786194AH-a15May©FCNVIC.

AFL VICTORIA RELEASE AFL Victoria Is Particularly Pleased to Again See
AFL VICTORIA RELEASE AFL Victoria is particularly pleased to again see over half of the new talent selected in the NAB AFL Draft come from Victorian football. 36 Victorian players were selected in last night’s NAB AFL Draft, with 33 players recruited from the TAC Cup competition and three from the Peter Jackson VFL. Victorian community football and the talented player pathway produced 55% of new draftees while South Australia produced 21%, Western Australia 18%, Tasmania 5% and Queensland 1%. AFL Victoria General Manager Grant Williams believes the results reflect the strong talent development pathways in Victoria. “The NAB AFL Draft continues to highlight the variety of pathways in which talented players are being developed in Victoria, starting at a local community Club level and working their way up through the talented player pathway either via the TAC Cup or VFL competitions.” Victoria produced eight out of the first 10 draft selections, with Dandenong Southern Stingrays Lachie Whitfield becoming the eleventh number one pick from the TAC Cup competition in its 21 year history, and the fourth Dandenong top pick. Whitfield joined the likes of former Stingrays Jeff White (1994), Travis Johnstone (1997) and Tom Scully (2009) all of whom had their name read out first on AFL Draft night. “The TAC Cup competition continues to be the premier drafting ground for AFL footballers, with over 1,000 players having now been drafted over the 21 years of the competitions existence.” “Congratulations should go to each of AFL Victoria’s Talent Managers who manage quality programs in each of Victoria’s twelve regions that field teams in the TAC Cup competition.
