Young stars from Victoria, New South Wales/ACT and Queensland will feature in talent showcase matches in Melbourne this weekend which will serve as trials for the 2024 Marsh AFL Futures Boys match.
Werribee’s Avalon Airport Oval will host a double-header of action on Saturday, August 10 which will showcase many of the most talented under-17 boys footballers from across the three states.
Victoria Country and NSW/ACT will play in the opening match at 10:45am AEST, before Victoria Metro and Queensland meet at 1:15pm AEST.
Saturday’s trial games will assist with selection for the national Marsh AFL Futures Boys match, which will be played as a curtain-raiser to the 2024 Toyota AFL Grand Final on Saturday, September 28.
Players who don’t play in Saturday’s trials can still be selected for the national Marsh AFL Futures match next month.
The matches will feature players born in 2007 who will be eligible for selection in the 2025 Telstra AFL Draft.
All four squads were selected following nominations and consultation with Coates Talent League clubs and Academy programs.
HOW TO WATCH: Saturday’s matches can be live streamed on the AFL Play YouTube channel. Please click here to access the stream.
