AFL Vic Record Week 6.Indd VFL Round 4 TAC Cup Round 5 30 April - 1 May 2016 $3.00 Photo: Jonathan Di Maggio VFL an international training ground We oft en look at the role the Peter Jackson VFL plays in the development of VFL-listed players. There have been a number of success stories, with 42 players draft ed over the last five years including names such as Adam Saad (Coburg/Gold Coast), Kane Lambert (Williamstown/ Richmond), Dean Towers (North Ballarat/Sydney), Ben Brown (Werribee/North Melbourne) and Tory Dickson (Bendigo/Western Bulldogs). One area of development that can oft en be overlooked is that of the AFL-listed players in the competition. A prime example of this development is American-born Collingwood player Mason Cox who, aft er 21 games in the VFL, made his AFL debut in front of 80,000 fans at the MCG on ANZAC Day. For a player that had never heard of the AFL less than two years ago, it is a major achievement to progress so quickly to an AFL debut. Credit must go to the Collingwood coaching staff that has worked with Cox to help him reach his first game at the elite level. We would hope the high standard of football he has been exposed to each week at VFL level over the last 12 months has aided his development, like a number of other international rookie players in recent years. Over the last two years we have seen the likes of Cox, Kurt Heatherley (Hawthorn/ Box Hill Hawks), Jason Holmes (St Kilda/Sandringham) and Conor McKenna (Essendon/Essendon VFL), along with the new crop in Padraig Lucey (Geelong/Geelong VFL) and Matthew Korcheck (Carlton/Northern Blues) develop their game at VFL level with the aim of forging an AFL career. The role VFL clubs and the competition as a whole play in this development should not be forgotten when players like Cox debut on the main stage.

  • Work Underway on New Elite Women's Facilities at Ikon Park.Pdf Pdf 199.59 KB
    Wednesday, 27 January 2021 WORK UNDERWAY ON NEW ELITE WOMEN’S FACILITIES AT IKON PARK Purpose-built AFLW change rooms and an elite indoor training facility will level the playing field for women footballers at Ikon Park, with work underway on the landmark project. On the eve of the 2021 AFLW season, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events Martin Pakula today joined Carlton president Mark LoGiudice, AFLW stars Maddy Prespakis and Tayla Harris and Federal Minister for Superannuation, Financial Services and the Digital Economy Jane Hume at Ikon Park to view progress. Prior to the pandemic, women’s football in Victoria was booming and with the anticipated return of community footy in 2021, that trend is set to continue. The establishment of the AFLW in 2017 was a game-changer, with Ikon Park hosting a sell-out crowd of nearly 25,000 people at the first-ever AFLW match between Carlton and Collingwood. The 2021 AFLW season kicks off tomorrow night at Ikon Park with the Blues again hosting the Magpies. Current match-day facilities are below par and the project will see the demolition of the Pratt Stand and the construction of a match-day pavilion with AFLW-standard change rooms, an elite indoor training facility and better views into the ground from Princes Park. The existing training and administration building will be refurbished and upgraded to provide AFLW and AFL players and staff access to the same facilities and resources, reinforcing a culture of gender equality throughout the club. Lighting will also be upgraded to allow broadcasting of AFLW night matches.

  • Gippsland Power Last Injury Before and While Dealing with the Initial Shock Week
    VFL Round 5 TAC Cup Round 6 7 - 8 May 2016 $3.00 Photo: Brian Bartlett Exciting time in women’s football The future is bright in women’s football and full of opportunities. Over the last week the next generation of female footballers have taken to the field in the annual Youth Girls National Championships. The Grand Final was played Friday night as a curtain- raiser to the Richmond vs Hawthorn AFL game at the MCG, and fingers crossed we saw a Victorian team holding aloft the Championship trophy at the end of the game. Whatever the result though, in a few years’ time names like Katherine Smith, Izzy Huntington, Georgina Walker and Lily Mithen are likely to be names we hear called on a regular basis at venues like the MCG in the national women’s league. Anticipation has been at fever pitch over recent weeks with AFL clubs confirming their intentions to apply for a licence, with an AFL women’s competition set to kick off in early 2017. Submissions closed at the end of April and it was pleasing to see the coverage given to the host of applications in the lead-up to the deadline. Victoria will field the most teams of any state, which will be just reward for those local players that are draft ed to the yet-to-be-determined teams in our state. While they wait, it is the fans that get to enjoy these players week in, week out in our VFL Women’s and VWFL competitions before they become household names across Australia.
