Next week: Port Melbourne v Coburg 02 www.vfl .com.au Boost for female footballers Ensuring our participants enjoy a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment is one of AFL Victoria’s most important objectives. The incredible growth of female football over the past fi ve years has seen participation numbers in Victoria soar to record levels and helped shape our Football Facilities Strategic Plan – Growing the Heartland, which was released in 2014. Last weekend’s announcement by the Victorian Government of the $10 million Female Friendly Facilities grants program is a huge boost for not only female footballers but also community clubs, and will help us achieve many of the objectives outlined in the strategic plan. Over the past two years alone, there have been 111 new female football teams established in Victoria, making it clearly the fastest growing female sport in the state. On the back of huge growth in Youth Girls football, we are also seeing an increase in open-age competitions. The Victorian Women’s Football League has already received 23 expressions of interest for new teams in 2016 and many more are expected by the end of the current football season. The Victorian Government’s $10 million Female Friendly Facilities fund allows clubs to apply for up to $100,000 to build or upgrade change rooms, so players don’t have to change in their cars, in canteens or temporary storage sheds. Having change rooms that cater for female footballers might seem like a small step but ensuring this key segment of our game feels welcomed and supported will have many fl ow-on benefi ts. On the back of the announcement, AFL Victoria is now looking at how as a governing body we can leverage this funding support and help clubs make this signifi cant investment in female participation. We will also be releasing new guidelines for unisex change rooms and amenities to help clubs plan for any upgrades on their current facilities. With this funding in place, we hope clubs can adapt their current change rooms and adequately cater for the growing number of female participants without adding an extra burden on volunteers. In another exciting development for female football, the Senior Girls Herald Sun Shield Grand Final will be held at Etihad Stadium on Saturday August 1, giving these talented young players an opportunity to test themselves on the big stage. Ballarat Grammar and Methodist Ladies College will contest the match as a curtain-raiser to the Carlton vs North Melbourne clash and we wish the players, coaches and umpires the very best for what is an historic fi rst for female football.

  • AFL Vic Record Week 2.Indd
    TAC Cup Round 2 2 & 3 April 2016 $3.00 Season 2016 kicking into gear Wasn’t it great to have football back last weekend, both at AFL and TAC Cup level? While the next crop of future AFL talent was taking to the field in TAC Cup games throughout Victoria last weekend, it was a highlight of the Easter weekend to see eight draft ees debut in Round 1 of the AFL season – including 2015 Morrish Medal winner Clayton Oliver who claimed the first NAB AFL Rising Star nomination of the season aft er his 22-disposal debut for Melbourne. While the TAC Cup season started last weekend for the best U18 male talent across Victoria, last Monday saw the conclusion of a very successful Youth Girls Academy Challenge for the most promising U18 females across the state. Congratulations to the Dandenong Stingrays, who defeated the Sandringham Dragons in the finale to the month-long tournament. It is pleasing to see TAC support not only the next crop of elite U18 boys but also what will be the next crop of future female AFL footballers via the U18 Youth Girl Academies across eight regions. During the week we celebrated the launch of the Peter Jackson VFL and new VFL Women’s competition. With the launch of a national AFL women’s competition in 2017, it is exciting for AFL Victoria to launch the first VFL Women’s season this weekend. Also at the launch we looked back at the history of the TAC Cup competition, with last week signalling the beginning of its 25th season.

    VFL Round 1 14 - 17 April 2017 $3.00 Photo: Cameron Grimes New VFL season begins Welcome to season 2017 in the Peter Jackson VFL. Plenty has happened since last September when Footscray was crowned premier. We have seen 13 VFL players provided with an AFL opportunity, selected in the 2016 NAB AFL national and rookie draft s. Casey and Geelong both produced three draft ees, with Coburg, Footscray and North Ballarat providing two draft ees each. The pleasing aspect has been seeing the likes of Tom Stewart, Mitch Hannan, Robbie Fox and Tim Smith debut in the early rounds of the AFL season. The competition this year will feature 14 clubs, with Frankston not provided a VFL licence for the 2017 season. The club has had a rich history of providing a pathway and opportunities for footballers in the region – none more evident than the debut for Sydney in recent weeks of 2014 Fothergill-Round Medal winner Nic Newman. However, it was decided at the end of last year that without the necessary off -field structures in place, AFL Victoria was not confident financial projections provided by the club could be met. We have a strong willingness to ensure there is a VFL presence in the region into the future, but it must be viable and sustainable both on and off the field in the long term. This has been highlighted in the regular communication AFL Victoria has had with the new board at the club. In other pre-season news, at the VFL Season Launch last week we revealed there will be a triple-header of matches for the 2017 Victorian state league Grand Final day at Etihad Stadium on Sunday September 24.

We dodged a bullet last round with news that Gary Ablett’s knee injury isn’t as bad as first thought.
