  • Gippsland Power Last Injury Before and While Dealing with the Initial Shock Week
    VFL Round 5 TAC Cup Round 6 7 - 8 May 2016 $3.00 Photo: Brian Bartlett Exciting time in women’s football The future is bright in women’s football and full of opportunities. Over the last week the next generation of female footballers have taken to the field in the annual Youth Girls National Championships. The Grand Final was played Friday night as a curtain- raiser to the Richmond vs Hawthorn AFL game at the MCG, and fingers crossed we saw a Victorian team holding aloft the Championship trophy at the end of the game. Whatever the result though, in a few years’ time names like Katherine Smith, Izzy Huntington, Georgina Walker and Lily Mithen are likely to be names we hear called on a regular basis at venues like the MCG in the national women’s league. Anticipation has been at fever pitch over recent weeks with AFL clubs confirming their intentions to apply for a licence, with an AFL women’s competition set to kick off in early 2017. Submissions closed at the end of April and it was pleasing to see the coverage given to the host of applications in the lead-up to the deadline. Victoria will field the most teams of any state, which will be just reward for those local players that are draft ed to the yet-to-be-determined teams in our state. While they wait, it is the fans that get to enjoy these players week in, week out in our VFL Women’s and VWFL competitions before they become household names across Australia.

    ADELAIDE CROWS CHRIS KNIGHTS (Fwd) $291,600 Knights will miss the final H&A round of the season after undergoing hip surgery during the week.

  • 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.
