PORT Adelaide young gun Xavier 'the Arrow' Duursma has had his brother, Zane, and sister, Yasmin, selected in the initial Victorian Country boys and girls U18 representative squads, and their new lives under the AFL microscope is officially on the way.

The Vic Country squads - selected in partnership with AFL recruiters - converged on Essendon's The Hangar last weekend to undergo medical screenings and fitness tests, and set up individual development plans and training programs in preparation for the 2022 season.

The Vic Metro squads will be at The Hangar this weekend for their first camp, which will include training sessions, medicals, footy wellbeing seminars, recruiter interviews and the chance to watch Essendon train on Sunday.

Zane Duursma, 16, has already turned heads this year, kicking three goals on debut for Gippsland Power's NAB League team against the Sydney Swans Academy in May, while Yasmin, 17, has put together some impressive form for the Power, and played two games for Vic Country in this year's NAB AFL U17 Championships.

Other familiar surnames in the Vic Country squad include Wodonga's Ollie Hollands (the younger brother of Gold Coast’s 2020 No.7 draft pick Elijah), who is also shaping as an early selection in next year’s draft. And Rosebud's Henry Hustwaite is the brother of Campbell, the 2018 captain of the Dandenong Stingrays and the current co-captain of Collingwood's VFL team.

On the Vic Metro side of the coin, the Sandringham Dragons are again expected to be at the pointy end of next year’s NAB AFL Draft, with Will Ashcroft, the son of Brisbane's triple premiership hero (and now Sandringham VFL CEO) Marcus, widely touted as a possible top-three selection.

The Metro girls squad features Blackburn and Oakleigh Chargers player Jasmine Fleming, who is the daughter of former Australian Test paceman, Damien, and will soon have a decision to make about her sporting future given she is also a talented cricketer.

Amber Clarke (Country), Ava Jordan and Charlotte Baskaran (Metro) all finished in the top 10 of this year's NAB League Girls' best and fairest as underage players.

The squads will return for a second three-day camp in January to learn about preparation and recovery, GPS and training loads and football/life balance, and will take part in two full training sessions, another craft-based training program and first official interviews with AFL club recruiters.

Ongoing support will be provided in injury and load management and reporting and online education, as well as preparing for the national championships and creating links between schools and NAB League clubs.

Players who missed out on these initial squads will be given every opportunity to develop in the system next year, with many extra players required to fill the national championship squads for both boys and girls.
