There’s only one game on in the national championships - we see Vic Country play their first game on Sunday and it’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?

Hard to believe you missed the 2021 Grand Final Jimmy.

He is a very exciting talent.  A high-leaping key forward with a lot of X-factor and a certainty to be drafted on footballing ability/pertformance.

The Allies will be the National Champions for the first time after beating Vic Country today. Vic Metro’s annihilation of WA won’t be enough to give them a chance of winning the competition even

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

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.

How did Duursma go, anyone watch? 

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


Not really a good performance, but it’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.  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).  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).

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

Couldn’t go as I’m currently in regional WA but watched it on the AFL app, reckon Curtin’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 midfielder

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
