THE 2024 Marsh AFL Under-18 Boys National Championships will conclude on Sunday with when Vic Metro and Vic Country face off under the roof at Marvel Stadium from 10.35am AEST.
A host of first-round prospects for the 2024 Telstra Draft will be on show as the two strongest teams in this year's carnival do battle.
Vic Metro will roll out a stacked midfield, including stars Josh Smillie, Jagga Smith, Murphy Reid, Levi Ashcroft and Christian Moraes. Key defender Luke Trainor is another to watch as a potential early selection, while small forward Isaac Kako has enjoyed a strong championships to date and is tied to Essendon as a Next Generation Academy prospect.

Vic Country isn't short on talent either, with gun midfielder Sam Lalor fresh from a three-goal performance in Country's two-point win over the Allies last weekend, and No.1 pick contender Finn O'Sullivan playing his second game of the carnival after recovering from injury.
Tall prospects Jack and Matt Whitlock are also potential first-round chances, while big forward Jonty Faull has been strong since coming into the team in the second half of the championships.
U18s: Vic Metro v Vic Country
