Thereโ€™s only one game on in the national championships - we see Vic Country play their first game on Sunday and itโ€™s against South Australia who were disappointing last week.

Here are two articles worth reading -

2023 Vic Country Under 18 squad announced

PREVIEW | 2023 AFL U18s: Vic Country vs. South Australia

There are some interesting names in that VC squad including Harley Reid, Zane Duursma, Darcy Wilson, Cooper Simpson and Melbourne NGA prospect Riak Andrew.

The game will be televised live on Foxtel.

Hi WJ did Kynen Brown play?

Joel Freijah and Darcy Wilson (both mainly wingers but also play a bit inside and up forward) are 2 guys that I'm really interested in watching today. We've gone pretty heavy with KPPs in the last couple of drafts (JVR, Jefferson, Adams, Verrall and then picking up both the Turner's as rookies / pre-season selections) so potentially some strong running power might be something to look for in the upcoming one, especially if we keep both 1st rounders

Reid with 3 goals from 3 kicks in the first 5 mins. Anyone know much about Billy Wilson? He looks good.

They described Billy as a right footed Hayden Young. Good, smart ball user and definitely one to keep an eye on

Michael Rudd showed a bit as a left foot key forward in that 3rd quarter.

Liked De Mattias pace but sprayed a couple kicks, usually is better by foot from what I've seen previously.

Shipp prominent off the half back line.

Welsh and delean having good games for SA and like McAuliffe as well.

Tyler Welsh looks a ripper. Underage too.

He was excellent today. Crows have themselves a ripper to look forward to next year.

A career change...

Interesting that second among the bests for Vic Country was Kobe Shipp who is the son of former Freo player Andrew Shipp.ย

How did Duursma go, anyone watch?ย 

Was well held. No goals, not in best players, dudnt get a lot of it, underwhelming.ย 


Not really a good performance, but itโ€™s only one game l suppose. The Adelaide clubs with the first crack at their kids should be reasonably happy.

Played inside mid for a lot of the game. ย Finished with 20 touches and most of his good work came inside the contest and he won a few clearances, used his bigger frame well, but wasn't able to break away from congestion like he has for Gippsland (SA were good in the contest - McAullife in particular - and got numbers around the ball). ย Switched forward when Reid had a run on the ball in the second half (Duursma had 11 touches to half time), was less prominent then.

While not a standout game, it was good to see Duursma play on the inside and win clearances and lay a pretty good number of tackles (read that he laid 8 for the game). ย

Did you catch this one @Pennant St Dee? Thoughts on Curtin?

I only watched this on TV, thought Curtin and Hall won the battle in the midfield and Curtin showed his versatility being able to play as a big inside mid. Friday was very impressive with his running power, which is certainly off the charts

Couldnโ€™t go as Iโ€™m currently in regional WA but watched it on the AFL app, reckon Curtinโ€™s performance gives West Coast further food for thought. Reid was super clean and showed how good he is but trading for 2 first rounders if they can guarantee getting Curtin is tempting.

For those who watched it, a late call up under ager who only showed a few snippets is Austin Van Der Struyf, he is one to watch for next year. Smooth mover off half back/wing with elite foot skills and fantastic vision. Captain of Christchurch First XVIII, where he plays as an inside midfielderย

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodโ€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.ย

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
