It’s been a longer than usual wait, but it’s great to have Peter Jackson VFL football back for season 2015. As we kick off the new season, it is with great excitement that we welcome Channel Seven as our new VFL broadcast partner. The support of such a respected commercial network will increase the exposure of the VFL, help grow the audience and showcase the talented footballers lining up each week in what is undoubtedly the country’s best state-league competition. The recent season launch gave us a taste of what’s ahead for the VFL and provided the opportunity to thank our corporate and community partners, in particular the Peter Jackson and TAC. Their support is crucial to the success of AFL Victoria’s premier competitions, which in turn allows the Victorian talent pathway to prosper and continue to be the benchmark nationally. The strength of this pathway was demonstrated at the end of 2014 with 64 Victorians selected in either the NAB AFL National or Rookie Draft . This result highlighted the quality of the TAC Cup Competition and our Victoria Metro and Victoria Country Academies and saw eight of the top ten players selected in the National Draft hail from Victoria. Four Peter Jackson VFL players also progressed their careers to the elite level with Kane Lambert and Adam Saad initially rookie listed and then upgraded to the senior lists of Richmond and Gold Coast Suns respectively. The selection of Frankston’s Nic Newman in the Rookie Draft also ensured the continuation of an outstanding statistic. Of the past nine players to win the Peter Jackson VFL Fothergill-Round Medal, all have now gone on to careers at AFL level. Moving from the TAC Cup into the VFL is very much a genuine pathway, so with that in mind we have combined the VFL and TAC Cup Records into the one publication so that you, the reader, can follow both competitions. In the coming weeks you will see a mixture of content throughout the Record including results, fi xtures and plenty of articles and news items for both VFL (including the Development League) and TAC Cup. The VFL is also proving to be a breeding ground for umpires. 2014 VFL Legendairy Grand Final fi eld umpires Jack Edwards, Nick Brown and Brent Wallace each were appointed to their fi rst off icial AFL game aft er being added to the 2015 AFL Field Umpires Panel. Continuing this development of umpires, the AFL Victoria umpiring department will launch a new initiative this year with the VFL player to umpire program. In 2015 we have upwards of 290,000 participants across our various competitions and programs. It is the amazing job done by the hard working volunteers in every corner of the state who drive community clubs and ensure football continues to be the sport of choice for Victorians. There is always so much anticipation leading into Round 1 and the fi rst bounce of the ball. Best of luck to all players and support staff this weekend and a big welcome to all of the family members, friends and supporters.

    TAC Cup Round 2 2 & 3 April 2016 $3.00 Season 2016 kicking into gear Wasn’t it great to have football back last weekend, both at AFL and TAC Cup level? While the next crop of future AFL talent was taking to the field in TAC Cup games throughout Victoria last weekend, it was a highlight of the Easter weekend to see eight draft ees debut in Round 1 of the AFL season – including 2015 Morrish Medal winner Clayton Oliver who claimed the first NAB AFL Rising Star nomination of the season aft er his 22-disposal debut for Melbourne. While the TAC Cup season started last weekend for the best U18 male talent across Victoria, last Monday saw the conclusion of a very successful Youth Girls Academy Challenge for the most promising U18 females across the state. Congratulations to the Dandenong Stingrays, who defeated the Sandringham Dragons in the finale to the month-long tournament. It is pleasing to see TAC support not only the next crop of elite U18 boys but also what will be the next crop of future female AFL footballers via the U18 Youth Girl Academies across eight regions. During the week we celebrated the launch of the Peter Jackson VFL and new VFL Women’s competition. With the launch of a national AFL women’s competition in 2017, it is exciting for AFL Victoria to launch the first VFL Women’s season this weekend. Also at the launch we looked back at the history of the TAC Cup competition, with last week signalling the beginning of its 25th season.
