Congrats to Mitch Podhajski who has been named to make his AFL debut in Monday’s King’s Birthday clash against Melbourne 👏

Mitch played his community footy for Greenvale and Aberfeldie in the EDFL, and has spent recent years in the VFL at Coburg 🙌

He was the leading goal-kicker in the VFL when he was drafted, and we can’t wait to see him make his well-earned debut on Monday 🤩

Congrats to the U16 Victorian boys selected to play in the Marsh AFL National Development Championships 👏

Vic Country and Vic Metro will face off at the Kennedy Community Centre on Monday to begin the Championships 🗓️

The Championships feature the most talented U16 boys footballers from across the country.

Ten teams will compete in two pools, with matches to be played in four states and territories across the next five weeks.

Congrats to East Sandringham JFC product Hugo Hall-Kahan on making his AFL debut last night in a thrilling match against Geelong 👏
