Next week: Essendon v Werribee (Sunday) Proudly supported by www.onesourcechina.com.au 02 www.vfl .com.au Plenty of pathway options Managing the many diff erent elements of the talent pathway is one of AFL Victoria’s most important objectives. On the surface the pathway might appear simple, with so many stars of the game beginning their journey at NAB Auskick, then making their mark with a junior football club before taking the fi nal step in the TAC Cup and our Vic Country and Vic Metro Academies. But through this pathway there are a number of systems in place to ensure young players receive the right development both on and off -fi eld, and that boys and girls can fi nd diff erent avenues to reach their potential, regardless of what age they are when introduced to Australian football. Our programs must also provide an environment that allows junior footballers to prosper regardless of their background, while understanding that not all players develop at the same stage of the pathway. Our ultimate aim is to see Victoria’s most talented footballers reach the highest level of football they can, whether that be the AFL, the Peter Jackson VFL or metropolitan or country community competitions. The 19-year-old player provision in the TAC Cup and the 23rd player rule in the VFL are examples of how AFL Victoria ensures the pathway is adaptable to diff erent circumstances. Collingwood rising star Tom Langdon was a product of the 19-year-old rule which allows TAC Cup regions to retain a player who would normally be too old for the U18 competition. Players may benefi t from an extra year of development for various reasons, such as a serious injury or the fact they may be a latecomer to the sport. The 23rd player rule in the VFL gives clubs another tool to help players develop, with sides able to include an extra player and allow them to test themselves at that level without the pressure that may be associated with being picked in the 22-man team. Oft en we see players who remain in the TAC Cup as a 19-year-old also enjoy a chance to play as a 23rd player in the VFL through the alignment between TAC Cup regions and VFL clubs. This allows recruiters to get a good gauge on the level of the player’s development and also gives the player a chance to get a taste of senior football. Last year Murray Bushrangers pair Nathan Drummond and Dan Howe both spent time with Richmond in the VFL, providing these players with an opportunity to experience training and playing at the next level against VFL and AFL-listed players. Both found themselves on AFL lists later in the year with Richmond and Hawthorn respectively. The alignment between the VFL clubs and TAC Cup regions also encourages all players who miss out on being selected in the NAB AFL Draft to continue to play at the highest level of football possible. Oft en this is at state league level alongside former teammates who are further developing their game in the VFL while on AFL lists. Steven Reaper AFL Victoria CEO www.taccup.com.au 03 Young Dogs, plenty of tricks First-year Footscray coach Ashley Hansen has taken the reins of a dynamic, young premiership-winning team that continues to roll quality AFL and VFL-listed talent off its development line. So what’s in the water down at VU Whitten Oval? Will Hayes has continued his rapid rise this season, “There’s no secret – and if there was, I probably playing every match except one and being named wouldn’t be telling,” Hansen laughs. Footscray’s best player in wins against the Northern Blues in Round 12 and Geelong in Round 14. “I think we’ve brought in some really good kids with Hansen – an ex-West Coast premiership forward a really good attitude to learning and working hard, – was glowing in his praise of the 20-year-old’s which is a fundamental of becoming a better player. development since graduating from the Sandringham “It’s certainly been exciting to work with the current Dragons TAC Cup program in 2013. crop we’ve got.” “Will’s just a great young man,” Hansen said.

    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.
