02 www.vfl .com.au Season Launch This week we previewed the upcoming season for AFL Victoria’s premier competitions, with the Season Launch for the Peter Jackson VFL, TAC Cup and VWFL at Port Melbourne. The launch provided the opportunity to thank our corporate and community partners, in particular the TAC and Peter Jackson. Their support is crucial to the success of our premier competitions, which in turn allows the Victorian talent pathway to prosper and continue to be the benchmark nationally. The strength of this pathway was demonstrated at the end of 2014 with 64 Victorians selected in either the NAB AFL National or Rookie . This result highlighted the quality of the TAC Cup Competition and our Victoria Metro and Country Academies and saw eight of the top ten players selected in the National Draft hail from Victorian community clubs. Four VFL players also progressed their careers to the elite level with and this week upgraded to the senior list of Richmond and the respectively. Both are former TAC Cup players, with and , and proves the AFL dream does not end if you are not draft ed at the end of your 18th year in the competition. The selection of Lambert and Frankston’s in the Rookie Draft also ensured the continuation of an outstanding statistic. Of the past nine players to win the Peter Jackson VFL Fothergill-Round Medal - awarded to the best U23 player in the VFL - all have now gone on to careers at AFL level. Through the extensive TAC Program players participate in and the education provided by AFL Victoria, TAC Cup regions and VFL clubs, we are confi dent these young Victorians have and will continue to become role models both on and off the fi eld. The launch provided an opportunity to showcase the enormous role AFL Victoria plays in all facets of football, from our premier competitions to community football, which of course underpins the talent pathway. We have upwards of 290,000 participants across our various competitions and programs and it is the amazing work of hard working volunteers in every corner of the state who drive community clubs and ensure football continues to be the sport of choice for Victorians. Fantastic growth continues in female football and 2015 marks AFL Victoria’s second year of managing the Victorian Women’s Football League. We are excited by a 30 per cent increase in teams across the competition and nine new clubs entering the VWFL in 2015. The competition will continue to grow thanks to the huge amount of work being done to provide young girls the opportunity to play in female competitions. The huge growth in community football Youth Girls teams, combined with the six TAC Youth Girls Academies we now have in place in diff erent locations around the state create a pathway that one day down the track may include a National competition. Turning our attention back to the TAC Cup, we welcome the country regions this week for their fi rst game of the season, aft er the metro clubs started us off last weekend. It will be an exciting fi rst round for the country teams with their U16 sides playing curtain raiser games to all three country matches in Geelong, Benalla and Morwell this weekend.

Kickstart Squad builds towards champs From strength to strength. That’s the feeling stemming from AFL Victoria’s Indigenous Programs amid the selection process for the 2015 Kickstart (U15) Team. The Kickstart Team will fi nalise preparations this weekend for the National Indigenous and Multicultural Championships, which will be fought out in Cairns from April 10-15. The squad was this week reduced to 25 players following last weekend’s High Performance Camp and will now attend a Future Leaders Camp at Brambuk – The National Park and Culture Centre in Halls Gap this weekend. The two camps according to AFL Victoria Indigenous Programs Manager Aaron Clark will be an invaluable experience to the players involved. “The camps gives the boys a chance to get to know one another but more importantly provides them with an insight into the professionalism needed to play football at a high standard,” Clark said. “At the camp the boys undergo fi tness testing similar All Nations to that conducted at the National Draft Combine and Squad eyes undertake education sessions surrounding nutrition, recovery and leadership. back-to-back titles “We’ve got a great mix this year of boys from all corners The sky is now the limit for a group of talented of Victoria and this weekend they have the opportunity to Multicultural footballers who former AFL player learn about each other’s lives and in time build long term describes as some of the most exciting friendships. youngsters he has seen. “A strong focus in the Kickstart Program is to identify A squad of 20 U15 players, all of whom were born and strengthening the boys’ knowledge of their cultural overseas, will meet at the home of the North heritage and Brambuk is the perfect environment for this Melbourne FC – Arden Street – this weekend for a to occur.” State Camp that will see a fi nal team of 12 players The Squad will be trimmed to a fi nal 22 following the selected for the National Indigenous and Multicultural Future Leaders Camp.

Eastern Ranges team mates struck down by injury On draft night last year, Eastern Ranges and Vic Metro team mates and shared the experience every kid dreams of, having their name read out by an AFL club. Now they share something else in common, something far less fortunate. Selected at pick 2 by the in the 2014 NAB AFL Draft , there was an air of anticipation around the Demons faithful with Petracca’s arrival. His stunning form in the 2014 NAB U18 National Championships saw him awarded the Larke Medal for the best player in Division One. Petracca’s dominant TAC Cup performances earned him a spot in the 2014 TAC Cup team of the year. Coming off such a successful year, it was expected that Petracca would play senior AFL footy in 2015 and help the Demons move from the bottom rungs of the ladder. His form on the track had him pushing for round 1 selection. Aft er making it through an arduous preseason and nearing the NAB Challenge, disaster struck. In a routine training session, Petracca went up for the ball in a marking contest but landed awkwardly. His knee buckled, snapping his anterior cruciate ligament. which he displayed at the 2014 NAB AFL Draft Combine As the devastating news circulated that Petracca would fi nishing third overall in the repeat sprint test.

The North Melbourne coaching staff rewarded his hard work over the preseason with a spot in North Melbourne’s Round 1 NAB Challenge team that took on the Adelaide Crows. Last Thursday Nielson was taking place in a routine tackling drill when he injured his left knee. North Melbourne later confi rmed the worst case scenario via their off icial twitter account. “Unfortunate news today, Daniel Nielson has ruptured his ACL and will require a full reconstruction, ending his 2015,” North tweeted.
