02 www.vfl .com.au Country Round Welcome to Country Round, where the best young footballers from across regional Victoria gather at the picturesque Queen Elizabeth Oval in Bendigo for a great day of football. Growing up in regional Victoria I loved my footy. The local footy club was the heart and soul of my community back then and that link to the community still continues today for country clubs across the state. A recent study commissioned by AFL Victoria and conducted by Latrobe University highlighted just how important football clubs are for regional communities. It found that people involved with a football club be it as a player, coach, volunteer or supporter are more likely to experience greater social connectedness, well-being and physical and mental health than those not involved. It also found that a football club’s reach is signifi cant and extends beyond direct participants. For every one player, football clubs reach 10 people in their community. In small regional communities that reach can practically be the whole town. The social value of football clubs was quantifi ed by the study with the fi nding that for every dollar spent on a community football club, at least $4.40 is returned in social value. This social value includes social connectedness, wellbeing, mental health status, employment outcomes, personal development and physical health. All things are important issues for regional areas. Football remains to be the sport of choice in country Victoria, and since the VCFL merged with AFL Victoria the administration and development aspects of the sport have gone from strength to strength. We have been able to establish 13 Regional Commissions to oversee football in specifi c geographic areas. Headed by a Regional General Manager and supported by a of Football Development Managers, the Commissions have empowered local people to make What are some of your favourite local decisions for local reasons. memories from playing country Long term sustainability of country football clubs is a big focus for AFL Victoria, and an area that we will continually review to ensure football? that clubs can prosper.

It’s funny how things work out, fast forward to today and Francis is the Talent Manager and Leigh Brown the coach at Gippsland. When the opportunity for Byrne to return home to Bendigo to take the helm of the Pioneers arose at the end of 2000, the timing was right for a change. Francis transitioned from Coach to Talent Manager and is forever grateful to Byrne for giving him his initial opportunity in the TAC Cup. “He was great to work for, a very funny guy and a great support,” Francis said. Byrne’s sense of humour has endeared him to many along his football journey. Described as easy to work with by former staff members, Byrne knew how to make things happen, be it the establishment of a new club or enhancing the infrastructure of an existing club. He always had the best interests of the kids in the program at heart. Friendships he has made along the way and being able to work with some wonderful people are some of the things Byrne has appreciated the most about his role. “Working with all of the people at AFL Victoria over the years there have been terrifi c people within the Pioneers coach Brett Henderson and Ray Byrne organisation, from Ken Gannon to David Code, Peter Schwab and Tony Frawley and then to the current crew Photo: Bendigo Advertiser like John Hook and Leon Harris,” Byrne said.

The grandfather of talent management, AFL National Talent Manager Kevin Sheehan reinforced just how special it was to be a part of the Academy, but pointed out to the group that it wasn’t a ticket straight into an AFL club. “The academy is not about guarantees to get draft ed, it’s about providing opportunities,” Sheehan said. Seizing the opportunity is up to the individuals. He urged the Academy members to learn about being as good as they can be from the people around them. With the likes of Lenny Hayes, Brad Jonhson, , Brad Ottens and Glen Jackovich involved in the program, there is certainly quality people around to learn from. Sheehan is passionate about the Academy and seeing players develop. He shared the story of a young Brenton Sanderson who was one of the fi rst ever players involved in the program. Completing the footy circle of life, Sanderson is now the head coach. Sanderson, who previously coached the Adelaide Crows, has been impressed by the traits shown by the Academy players he has worked with so far. He told the dinner that there were future AFL captains amongst the group. He emphasised the Academy culture which focuses on team fi rst football and the importance of being part of the team, and urged the players to enjoy their football. Aft er travelling to and playing in countries all over the world, the Academy has brought their games back to the grass roots of football, suburban Melbourne, playing against VFL teams.

@TACCup @VFLnews www.taccup.com.au 31 Draft Watch We follow TAC Cup and VFL players on their AFL football journey as they attempt to make it in the big league.

Round 1 of the 2015 AFL season was an exciting time for the draft ees who were given the opportunity to play their fi rst AFL game. While some tasted victory in their fi rst outing others felt the pain of defeat, but for all of these young men, stepping out onto the fi eld for the very fi rst time as an AFL player is a moment that they will never forget. Congratulations to former TAC Cup players Angus Brayshaw (Melbourne/Sandringham), (Gold Coast/Calder/Coburg VFL), (Gold Coast/Calder), Jaden McGrath (Brisbane/ Bendigo), Jordan DeGoey (Collingwood/Oakleigh), (West Coast/Geelong), (West Coast/Dandenong), Jack Sinclair (St Kilda/Oakleigh) and (St Kilda/Dandenong) on your AFL debuts. Angus Brayshaw played the fi rst three quarters of the match for the Demons and fi nished with very respectable fi rst game stats, but it was his 9 tackles and defensive pressure that won him the praise of Melbourne supporters and coach Paul Roos.

On April 4, 2014 Jaden McGrath played for the AFL Academy against Collingwood VFL. Skip forward twelve months to April 4 2015, and Jaden McGrath was making his AFL debut for against Collingwood. McGrath overcame a horror run with injuries in 2014 including a wrist injury, patella tendinitis and a hamstring tear. It led to him only playing 6 matches for Bendigo Pioneers in his fi nal year, but since making it through the NAB AFL Draft Combine and being selected by the Lions McGrath has gone from strength to strength.

Being the sub in an AFL match isn’t an easy task, most will get put into the game in the fi nal term but they must be ready to go at any moment. Tom Lamb certainly wasn’t expecting such an early sub, but with teammate Mitch Brown going down with a knee injury midway through the fi rst quarter Lamb was injected into the game. He fi nished with 10 disposals, 4 marks and Jordan DeGoey receives the traditional fi rst gamer kicked his fi rst AFL goal as the Eagles went Gatorade shower aft er singing the Collingwood song down to the Bulldogs in a thriller.
