ACT UNDER 23'S V UWS GIANTS Jason Akermanis Welcome to edition 5 of 2012 of the Tuggeranong Hawks Football Club Newsletter “Hawk Talk” which is produced periodically throughout the season to advise all members and supporters of current club news and events. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ ACT UNDER 23’s v UWS GIANTS The ACT side will be entirely comprised of NEAFL Eastern Conference players from the Canberra region. The ACT’s best under-23 players will take on the UWS Giants at Manuka oval this Saturday including Tuggeranong Hawk’s players Ben Cleaver, David Smith, James McCabe and Chris Robinson. The game, which is the curtain raiser to the GWS Giants NAB challenge fixture, will give the Canberra contingent of NEAFL players the chance to impress in the second installment of this annual representative game. The first game, which was played at Ainslie oval in 2011, was a tightly fought contest which the ACT won by twelve points. All of the five Canberra NEAFL teams are represented in the 24 man squad, with Queanbeyan and Eastlake both having six players, Ainslie with five, Tuggeranong four and Belconnen three. The ACT side will have their share of AFL experience with former Sydney Swan Aaron Bruce as well as Kaine Stevens and Marcus Crook who both played with GWS in 2010 in the TAC cup and 2011 in the NAB cup respectively. The game serves as a great opportunity for the NEAFL players to impress prospective AFL clubs with club recruiters expressing interest in the game due to the high standard of the first representative match. The game starts at 8:45, so do not miss the chance to see the best young football talent the ACT has to offer. After the conclusion of the game at 11:30, the NEAFL will be holding their season launch in the Bradman room at Manuka Oval. The season launch will feature general manager of AFL NSW/ACT Tom Harley, ACT’s coach Chris Rourke and ACT representative players. This will be the biggest day for AFL and the NEAFL so far this year, so make sure you don't miss any of the action.

Carlton The Blues finally took the next step last year winning their first final in quite some time, and with a couple of key injuries nearly rolled the Eagles in the west to fall just short of a preliminary final. I think this year if the likes of Walker, Scotland and Robinson can hold their form, improvement from Duigan, Yarran and Warnock could see them finish one spot higher in the top 4, which will have them poised to go deeper into the final series. A full season from Michael Jamison would be welcome for Brett Ratten, as he can structure his backline with the emergence of Lachie Henderson around him. As it has been for quite some time, the Carlton midfield is their strength. I think it's time for Bryce Gibbs to showcase his skill-set predominately around the ball which only adds to the dilemma for opposing teams as to who to tag. Can Jarrod Waite's body hold up as a key forward? I'm not so sure. If so it would ease the burden of having to rely on livewires Eddie Betts and Jeff Garlett kicking the winning scores each week. I think Robbie Warnock has improved to the point where he can handle the number one ruck duties, allowing Matthew Kreuzer to play deep in the goal square.

  • AFL Draft Combine Tests Information Sheet
    AFL Draft Combine Tests Information Sheet At the end of each year the AFL holds an event called the 'Draft Combine' where hopeful AFL players are put through a series of testing. These tests include medical screening, physical performance tests such as vertical jump test, 20m sprint test and a range psychological performance tests. Vertical Jump Test This test is used to evalute an athletes lower body power. Vertical jumping and lower body power is important in AFL when jumping for marks, jumping to spoil and particularly important in ruck contests. 20m Sprint Test The 20m sprint is a test of a players acceleration and speed. Both are very important in a game of AFL for breaking away from an opponent, getting open on a lead and bursting away from stoppages. AFL Agility Test This is a specific slalom-type agility test developed for AFL, which involves running in, out and around obstacles over roughly 40 meters in total. The ability to quickly change direction is very important for AFL to be able to get clear of an opponent, or move through congestion. Yo-Yo Test The Yo-Yo Test is used to test a players aerobic endurance. This is arguably the most important phyical ascpet of AFL as players will run up to 16-18km a game (dependant upon position). In AFL you need to be aerobically fit to perform well towards to end of quarters and at the end of a match, which can be the most critical part of a game.
