VIC METRO has bounced back from an opening round loss against Vic Country to thrash New South Wales/Australian Capital Territory by 111 points at Bruce Purser Oval, in western Sydney on Saturday.

Metro 24.16 (160) defeated NSW/ACT 8.1 (49) in the first of the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships double-header at Rouse Hill. The visitors were outstanding from the start and never looked in doubt.

Vic Metro had plenty of standouts, including classy half-forward Jayden Hoegel, who won an equal 26 disposals, booted 2.3 and had five scoring assists.

Key forward Ben Griffiths starred with five goals – the most for the match – while Andrew Gaff, Jordan Gysberts, Robbie Hicks and Andrew Moore all booted three each.

Potential Gold Coast recruit Josh Toy shone from half-back and potential No.1 draft pick Tom Scully (17 disposals) was still good, although not as prominent as his previous game. Ben Jacobs was another to shine, with his pack mark late in the game a beauty.

For the Rams, Anthony Miles booted three and claimed 19 disposals, while Jason Tutt's 26 disposals was an equal game best.

One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
