  • AFL Vic Record Week 4.Indd
    VFL Round 1 14 - 17 April 2017 $3.00 Photo: Cameron Grimes New VFL season begins Welcome to season 2017 in the Peter Jackson VFL. Plenty has happened since last September when Footscray was crowned premier. We have seen 13 VFL players provided with an AFL opportunity, selected in the 2016 NAB AFL national and rookie draft s. Casey and Geelong both produced three draft ees, with Coburg, Footscray and North Ballarat providing two draft ees each. The pleasing aspect has been seeing the likes of Tom Stewart, Mitch Hannan, Robbie Fox and Tim Smith debut in the early rounds of the AFL season. The competition this year will feature 14 clubs, with Frankston not provided a VFL licence for the 2017 season. The club has had a rich history of providing a pathway and opportunities for footballers in the region – none more evident than the debut for Sydney in recent weeks of 2014 Fothergill-Round Medal winner Nic Newman. However, it was decided at the end of last year that without the necessary off -field structures in place, AFL Victoria was not confident financial projections provided by the club could be met. We have a strong willingness to ensure there is a VFL presence in the region into the future, but it must be viable and sustainable both on and off the field in the long term. This has been highlighted in the regular communication AFL Victoria has had with the new board at the club. In other pre-season news, at the VFL Season Launch last week we revealed there will be a triple-header of matches for the 2017 Victorian state league Grand Final day at Etihad Stadium on Sunday September 24.

  • No Sign of Home Sickness Get Ready to Pounce!
    CHAMPION/DATA/ISSUE 16 Hi and welcome to the sixteenth edition of the Fantasy Freako’s rave for 2011. We dodged a bullet last round with news that Gary Ablett’s knee injury isn’t as bad as first thought. He’s now an outside chance to face Richmond this week, which would relieve the thousands of coaches that traded him in last round. Enjoy this week’s rave and good luck to everyone for the upcoming round. NO SIGN OF HOME SICKNESS GET READY TO POUNCE! It’s one thing to perform on your home deck, but to do it away from With most of us close to finalising our sides, it’s vital that we bring home as well is an added bonus.

For the purpose of this analysis, only those that have played in more than one match have been included, on in the wake of his dismal performance against Collingwood, where which explains why Travis Cloke doesn’t appear with his 136 points, as he finished with a season-low 24 points. Gary Ablett should always be his game against Sydney in Round 14 has been his only interstate trip. a target, and the little master will need to produce something special against Richmond this week, if indeed he actually plays, to keep his If we look at the best performers across the season, it’s no surprise that price.

It seems like only yesterday that we conducted our Tasmanian Team of the Century dinner in 2004, followed by our inaugural Hall of Fame induction dinner in 2005. This is just another example of how quickly a decade passes by when you work in an industry as dynamic as Australian Football. Over this decade 277 individuals have entered our Hall of Fame ‘club’ as inductees. We have elevated 40 of these men to Legend status and further elevated just 14 to become Icons of Tasmanian Football. To be one of just 14 Icons to have been identified in over 149 years of the game being played in Tasmania is very special indeed.

  • AFL Vic Record Week 8.Indd
    Community Umpiring Round VFL Round 6 TAC Cup Round 7 13 - 15 May 2016 $3.00 Photo: Brian Bartlett Umpire recognition as important as ever Football leagues around Victoria will celebrate Community Umpiring Round this weekend. Respect and appreciation for umpires should not just be recognised one round per season, but should be done every week. They do a great job controlling a game where the skill and speed continually increases, as do the demands on umpires. Just like footballers, umpires are dedicated athletes whose preparation and passion for the game is unwavering. And, just like footballers, AFL Victoria strives to provide a clearly defined pathway for umpires to progress their participation to the highest level. Since 2013 there has been 15 umpires promoted to the AFL – five field, six boundary and four goal umpires. That means that of the 32 AFL field umpires, 19 are Victorian (60 per cent), while close to 50 per cent of the 101 umpires on the 2016 AFL lists are also from our state. This is a great reflection of the hard work of our umpiring department, led by State league Umpiring Head Coach Cameron Nash. As Cameron speaks about in this edition of the Record, a key focus over the last 18 months has been bridging the gap between community and state league umpiring. The introduction of rookie squads has enabled promising local umpires to experience what it takes to reach the next level, exposed to the training standards and preparation needed to take the next step in their umpiring career. Another positive aspect is the increase in our female umpiring numbers, with seven female umpires (three field, one boundary, three goal) now part of our squad.

  • AFL Vic Record Week 3.Indd
    VFL Round 1 9 & 10 April 2016 $3.00 Race for glory starts anew Welcome to the start of the 2016 Peter Jackson VFL season. It has been six months since stand-alone side Williamstown held aloft the premiership trophy at Etihad Stadium aft er defeating the Box Hill Hawks in the 2015 season finale, and the race for the 2016 title starts this weekend. At the end of last year it was pleasing to see eight players draft ed to the AFL from the VFL – with the competition enjoying the most national NAB AFL Draft selections (four) since 2006. In 2016 there will be 35 VFL draft ees on AFL lists – including names such as Michael Barlow, Ed Curnow, Matt Jones, Adam Saad and Ben Brown – which is a credit to the work done by our state-league clubs in helping develop talent for the elite level. Clubs have again attracted a strong mix of former AFL talent, many hoping to emulate the likes of Mitch Brown and Cameron Wood from recent years with a return to the AFL in future years, while the number of former TAC Cup players within the competition has grown again in 2016. Peter Jackson VFL action returns to Channel 7 in its new Sunday home for 2016 with Port Melbourne hosting Collingwood in Round 1. Ratings were up by 50 per cent last year, with 49,000 viewers on average tuning in to watch the best state league football has to off er. This year we will also be video streaming a game each Saturday via vfl.com.au, with Coburg and North Ballarat featuring in the season-opener.
