The 2024 Coates Talent League Boys season again featured 12 teams from Victoria and one from Tasmania for the full season.
Academy programs from New South Wales (GWS GIANTS and Sydney Swans), Queensland (Gold Coast SUNS and Brisbane Lions) and Northern Territory (NT Academy) competed in a selection of games early in the season ahead of the Marsh AFL National Championships.
Only teams from Victoria and Tasmania will feature in the finals, where they will compete in two conferences, before crossing over for the preliminary finals.
One conference features metropolitan teams, while the other conference features country teams, along with the Tasmania Devils.
Teams have been ranked within their conference based on their ladder position at the end of the home and away season. Rankings for the boys competition also take into account last week’s Wildcard Round results.
The quarter finals feature the four highest ranked teams in each conference. The rankings for each conference are:
BOYS RANKINGS
Metro Conference: Sandringham Dragons (#1), Northern Knights (#2), Oakleigh Chargers (#3) and Calder Cannons (4th)
Country/Tasmania Conference: Geelong Falcons (#1), Dandenong Stingrays (#2), Gippsland Power (#3) and GWV Rebels (#4)
GIRLS RANKINGS
Metro Conference: Oakleigh Chargers (#1), Eastern Ranges (#2), Northern Knights (#3) and Sandringham Dragons (#4)
Country/Tasmania Conference: Tasmania Devils (#1), Dandenong Stingrays (#2), Gippsland Power (#3) and Geelong Falcons (#4)
