Any idea who is playing for the AIS? In terms of possible draft selections in November?

WTF!

I thought last week was round 1 of VFL.

It was.

Rather unconventional scheduling, isn't it? Not sure how you can go from practice match, to round 1, to practice match, but it is what it is...

Actually, we should think of it as a bonus game, a way to get some extra game-time into a couple of players without premiership points being at stake. I'm thinking Thomas, Witts, maybe Fasolo...

Be good to see a few of the blokes listed below filtering back into the FVL and senior sides over the next couple of weeks. Thought Gault may have even been a chance this week.

Corey Gault Groin 1 week
Tim Broomhead Wrist 2 weeks
Adam Oxley Ankle 2-3 weeks
Ben Reid Calf 2-3 weeks
Paul Seedsman Hip 2-3 weeks
Ben Sinclair Hamstring 2-3 weeks
Nathan Freeman Hamstring 3 weeks
Patrick Karnezis Osteitis Pubis 3-4 weeks
Nathan Brown Shoulder 4-5 weeks
Matthew Scharenberg Feet Indefinite

EDIT: Why doesn't the "Injury List" contain info on the VFL squad injuries. Surely it wouldn't be too tough to add a few lines to the table.

Couple of stories on the AIS squad, still looking for a full list of the 2014 squad.

LEADING draft prospects Peter Wright, Hugh Goddard and Christian Petracca will be keen to continue their strong early-season form in Friday's AIS-AFL Academy curtain-raiser at the MCG.

The three Victorians are members of the Academy side which will take on Collingwood's VFL team at 4.20pm ahead of the Hawthorn and Fremantle Grand Final rematch.

Wright, a 202cm forward from the Calder Cannons, kicked five goals at the weekend while Goddard, the cousin of Bomber Brendon, booted three goals for the Geelong Falcons.

Petracca, who starred in last year's TAC Cup finals series as a half-forward, has pushed further into the midfield and proved himself to be a goalkicking on-baller.

The VFL contest has proved an excellent form line in recent years as to the top draft selections of their respective years.

Last season Tom Boyd established himself as the standout player of his draft pool with a 10-mark effort against the Magpies' VFL side, while the year before father-son Joe Daniher starred against the Box Hill Hawks.

Good question Dave... how?

Makes no difference to me as I don't live in Melbourne and can't get to the game but for people who do and could...
