Casey Demons VFL Round 3 TAC Cup Round 5 28 - 30 April 2017 $3.00 Photo: Cameron Grimes Room for all VFL club models The team landscape in the Peter Jackson VFL will change in 2018 with the announcement during the week that Werribee and North Melbourne both intend to field standalone sides in the competition next season. The VFL will continue to foster a number of diff erent team models that suit the various clubs involved, from standalone VFL and AFL clubs to strong AFL/VFL club alignments. AFL Victoria will work with both clubs throughout the year to help them with the transition to standalone status for next season, ending a 10-year alignment between the clubs. The change of alignment will provide positives for both. With the decision made early in the 2017 season, both clubs now have time to prepare from an on and off -field perspective for the upcoming 2018 season and going standalone. In the case of North Melbourne, they see it as the best model for the development of its players and to meet its strategic objectives, along with off ering a number of top-up positions on their list. Werribee will now be able to off er 23 VFL senior-listed positions each week in its side, expanding its ability to provide a host of up-and-coming talent in Victoria an opportunity to play VFL football. They will be hoping to discover the next Ben Brown or Kyle Hartigan, who have both progressed through the Werribee program in recent years. As we have seen over a number of years, alignments change and the VFL continues to evolve. It is the unique nature of our competition that we have professional and semi-professional players within our various clubs, all providing opportunities to play the best-standard football outside of the AFL. A look back at recent VFL premiers proves all club models can be successful, from standalone to aligned. Our state-league competition will continue to provide for the needs of various alignments and team models into the future.

    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.

    St.Paul's McKinnon JFC Newsletter From the Secretary June 28 2018 What a brilliant weekend for footy, with AFL footy visits, photos & celebrations. Auskick Our Auskickers were brilliant to kick off the weekend. With more than 120 kids for Grandparents and Special Friends Day, the boys and girls had a ball playing against their special person/s that came to help each of the coaches teach some of the fundamentals for our next generation of Demons. Michelle and the team are fantastic giving guidance on how to play and giving each of the kids a game at the end of the session. It is a sight to see the kids and the parents all get behind the song and give our song the gusto to set the weekend of sport. Seniors Saturday morning and the thirds were on fire to kick off our seniors footy with 11.15-81 against Endeavour Hills 6.5-41. The Reserves then backed up the day with a very good game of fast, dramatic footy kicking 20.11-131 to Chelsea Heights 6.5-41. The Reserves lead the Div 1 Reserves Ladder leading into this week’s home game (McKinnon Reserve) on Saturday at Midday against Bentleigh. Our seniors Div 1 team then finished off the Saturday events to see St Pauls kick 17.16-118 to Chelsea 5.6-36. This secured St Paul’s into 3rd position and heading into a clash against Bentleigh on Saturday this week at 2.15pm. Please feel free to come on down to the ground to watch our boys in action.
