The VFL Under 23 North vs South Rep game will return in 2010. This game will be played at TEAC Oval on Sunday September 12th as a curtain raiser to one of the Preliminary Finals.
The Reserves Grand Final will be played as the Curtain Raiser on Saturday of that weekend.
What does everyone think?
Good idea Robbo, unfortunately I will have to miss both PF as I have an end of season footy trip (Eastern Rovers super rules) in Tassie. Will be going to the Tassie finals on that weekend. Not sure if it is the TSL Grand Final on that weekend or it could even be the SFL in GF in Tassie. I'll check the Tassie footy websites to see what is on.
The North v South rep games are always good value as no doubt the talent scouts will be out in full force looking for potential draft choices. These games are an old VFA tradition
Back with a twist...
The game can include VCFL and VAFA players.
MEMO ALL SANFL CLUBS - YOU CAN F**K OFF, DON'T USE IT TO PINCH OUR PLAYERS :bigsmile:
They have got to get them from somewhere, the have got none of their own !!!
From an interview on the VFL website with Schwabby. I like the concept
VFLWS: What’s happening with the Under 23 match?
PS: We’re calling it a young guns game. It will be played as a curtain raiser before the Sunday Preliminary Final. It will include players from VFL clubs who didn’t play in the finals as well as TAC Cup players who weren’t in the AFL Under 18 National Championships program and we’ve also invited the Victorian Country Football League, the Victorian Amateur Football Association and Victorian Metropolitan Football Leagues to nominate some of their best young talent as well. It gives AFL recruiters another opportunity to look at the young talent in the State.
