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 , , Matt Jones, and – 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 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 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 featuring in the season-opener. This game will be part of a VFL/VFL Women’ double-header at Piranha Park – the first of 12 double-header games between the two competitions this year. Best of luck to all players, staff and volunteers this weekend for the start of the VFL season.

In the first game of a triple-header in Bendigo for the Country TAC Cup teams, last year’s bottom-placed side showed there’s plenty of cause for optimism in 2016. The Pioneers won only two matches in 2015 but have already logged half that tally this year. They also scored less than 50 points per game last season, but put 115 on the board against the Power. With scores level at half time, Bendigo demonstrated a new attacking dimension by putting the foot down in the second half and booting 11 goals to four.

Last Saturday against the Geelong Falcons, they booted 19 goals for the second straight week in a 69-point win. The previous round, 19 majors led them to a 68-point triumph over the Bendigo Pioneers. Against Geelong, Murray even had one fewer entry inside 50 than its opponent but still managed 14 more scoring shots. So how did the Bushrangers stop the Falcons flying up forward?
