AFL Vic Record Week 11.Indd
VFL Round 9 TAC Cup Round 9 4 - 5 June 2016 $3.00 Division 1 U18 Championships kick off This weekend is the first step for many U18 footballers towards draft day in late November with the start of the Division 1 NAB AFL U18 Championships. Congratulations goes to each player selected to represent the state at U18 level, with the two AFL Victoria Academy teams – reigning champions Vic Country and Vic Metro – having named their final squads. We once again thank Dairy Australia for its support of our Academy program courtesy of their Legendairy campaign. Over recent years we have seen a number of players highlight why they are touted as high draft selections with dominant performances at the Championships, like Larke Medal winners Christian Petracca (Eastern Ranges) and Josh Schache (Murray Bushrangers). The Championships have also been the making of a number of players who have performed strongly on the national stage to help raise their names into draft conversations. For those players not selected in the final squads, you only need to look at the likes of Morrish Medal winner Clayton Oliver, who did not play at the Championships but was draft ed at pick four from the Murray Bushrangers, as well as Gippsland Power player Tom Papley, who was rookie-listed by the Sydney Swans. Both have been NAB AFL Rising Star nominees this season, proving there are a number of pathways to the elite level. Finally, it was not the result we were aft er in South Australia last weekend when the VFL faced the SANFL and was defeated by 19 points, but well done to all the players and staff that represented the competition.
