Might be hard as most of the vfl sides are aligned to the tac teams.
Maybe have an under 16 teams in local areas, not sure ?
Will Geelong bring back the famous Geelong West under 19s ?
They copped the biggest floggings ever seen week in week out.
Box Hill could have and under 19s compete in the EFL.
Williamstown in the WRFL
Frankston in the MPNFL
Sandringham in the SFL
Coburg in the EFL
Preston in the DVFL
Werribee in the WRFL
Casey in the MPNFL Casey/Cardinia
Port Melbourne in the WRFL
North Ballarat and Bendigo in local leagues.
Not sure if this would ever happen ??
The under 18 age group development is well catered for in the TAC Cup and suburban competition. Above that age they are ready to play senior football in a competiton suited to their ability.
Any movement from the VFL about formally aligning U18 clubs to the Senior sides to provide a defacto thirds side?
There won't be too many, but some of those first round National draft picks could be ready to step up to Senior footy.

Don't think it will happen.
It should return to U19's, but it won't happen.
By the way, is the Colts competition in SA & WA 18's or 19's?
In SANFL there is U/19's & U/17's but all the kids the afl draft seem to come from the U/17's thru the U/18's national carnival and the ones who play seniors but the U/19's seems to be the void as the progree to seniors but dont stay there long if there any good
