Previously produced as a joint project by local print media organisations and AFL Gippsland, this year’s edition will feature more emphasis on leagues and SENIOR LEAGUES competitions and how they will look in 2021. This year’s edition has been sized to match the Footy Records, Taggers, Barrackers, Followers and Spectators that pundits would see at weekly matches. Hopefully this guide will be one that can be read throughout 2021 and provide valuable information across all 16 competitions in Gippsland. It has been a hard task to source all of this information before the season starts. All information we managed to get was correct at the time of printing but we acknowledge there may be some movement on the eve of the season. A huge thanks to the Gippsland League, West Gippsland Football Netball Competition, North Gippsland Football Netball League, Ellinbank & District Football Netball League, Mid Gippsland Football Netball League & AFL Gippsland Women’s Competition for their support in the creation of this magazine.

Much has changed since the final siren and whistle blew in September 2019. The release of the 2018 AFL Gippsland Senior Leagues review and the subsequent AFL Victoria 2020 G25 review have left a landscape of uncertainty that will finally settle into place in season 2021. The most notable development was the confirmation that the six remaining Alberton Football Netball League Clubs - Foster, Fish Creek, Meeniyan Dumbalk United, Stony Creek, Tarwin and Toora - would join the Mid Gippsland League. In a huge 18 months for Mid Gippsland, the football league amalgamated with the Mid Gippsland Netball Association to become the Mid Gippsland Football Netball League, which then welcomed the six new clubs to become a 15-club competition. This would only be a short-term proceeding with Trafalgar’s successful bid to join the Ellinbank and District competition. Following Trafalgar’s departure, Yallourn Yallourn North engaged the North Gippsland Football Netball League to help move their club on from the Trafalgar are one of the clubs on the move in 2021 Mid Gippsland League.

    TAC Cup Round 1 24 & 26 March 2016 $3.00 25th TAC Cup season underway Welcome to the start of another season in AFL Victoria’s TAC Cup competition. This year marks the 25th year of our elite U18 program, and we are pleased to once again have the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) supporting the development of our talented players across our 12 regions. Throughout the season we will profile a number of people that have been part of the TAC Cup over the years, with AFL coaches like Justin Leppitsch, Brad/Chris Scott and Adam Simpson plus modern-day players such as Joel Selwood, Gary Ablett and Scott Pendlebury all having origins in the competition. Last year 47 players from our 12 regions joined those names as draft ees from the TAC Cup in the NAB AFL National and Rookie draft s. It is a great reflection on the staff in each of our regions and the local clubs that have helped these players on their journey to achieve their dream of being draft ed to the AFL. We have seen a number of draft ees get their first taste at the elite level in the AFL’s NAB Challenge, and we hope to see a number of players debut in the opening round of the season and throughout the year. Good luck to all coaches, players and staff for season 2016.

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.
