AFL Victoria VFL Academy
The preliminary squad for the 2013 AFL Victoria VFL Academy will be put through their paces at a fitness testing night tonight.
34 Peter Jackson VFL players have been invited to the testing from club nominations that have been received over the last month.
New VFL Academy coach Darren Flanigan will meet the squad tonight, with the preliminary squad to be cut down over the next month to the final squad that will take part in the AFL Victoria VFL Academy in 2013.
The AFL Victoria VFL Academy program provides nominated players additional development experiences to the high quality programs already offered at Peter Jackson VFL Clubs.
The VFL Academy exposes the players involved to the current AFL Victoria Academy practices, philosophy and resources.
See below the squad of 34 - not all of the 34 will be available for the fitness testing night.
