The final training squad for the Peter Jackson VFL state team has been announced.

The original list of 30 that was announced last week has been trimmed to 25, with one addition, Casey Scorpion forward Tim Smith.

The introduction of Smith into the squad will provide the VFL team with more forward options, as the 25-man squad will be reduced to 23 for the trip to face the SANFL on Sunday May 29 at Adelaide Oval.

The team will come together next Tuesday at IKON Park, the first of three training sessions leading up to the state clash.

Sam Iles (Box Hill), Hugh Sandilands (Port Melbourne), James Ferry (Essendon), Ozgur Uysal (Coburg), Tom Simpkin (Sandringham) and Anthony Anastasio (Williamstown) were not selected in the final training squad, leaving 10 VFL clubs still represented.

FRANKSTON has got that winning feeling.

For the second time in three weeks, the Dolphins have pulled off a stirring victory after coming from behind to beat Coburg by five points in the wet Frankston Park on Sunday.

Frankston forward Nathan Gardiner’s goal from 53 metres out in the last quarter was the match winner.

It put the Dolphins in front with 10 minutes to go. Coburg spent the last five minutes attacking but Frankston would not be denied.

Frankston kicked the only two goals of the last quarter. Gardiner’s goal came after Jayden Cass booted the first, from a free kick, to cut Coburg’s lead to a point.

West End State team stars Joel Cross and Zane Kirkwood have gathered at Adelaide Oval in the build up to the big clash with the VFL on Sunday May 29.

Arguably the two best midfielders in the SANFL IGA League, the Magarey Medallists braved the wintery conditions to film a promo for Channel 7 at the base of the Riverbank Stand.

Speaking on SANFL Radio, the pair chat about their excitement to be named in the initial 40-man squad to play against the arch enemy at the home of SA football.

The dynamic duo trained at Football Park last night, with coach Graham Cornes putting his charges through their paces for the first time.
