The teams have been announced for NAB League Boys Round 14, with plenty of big names returning to their clubs in the run to the end of the home-and-away season and a handful of under-16 players breaking through for debuts.
With the national representative season concluded at both under-18 and under-16 level, many NAB League clubs are starting to assemble their best line-ups in the lead-up to finals.
Prominent club captains like Lachlan Ash (Murray Bushrangers), Hayden Young (Dandenong Stingrays), Brodie Newman (Calder Cannons), Brock Smith (Gippsland Power) and Jesse Clark (Geelong Falcons) are back in for their teams following the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships, but an interesting aspect of Round 14 is the introduction of several stars of the recent AFL Under-16 Championships to the NAB League.
Vic Metro went undefeated through the Under-16 carnival, with Eastern Ranges playmaker Tyler Sonsie winning the team’s MVP award. The Under-16 All Australian is in line to make his under-18 debut in Eastern’s clash with the Oakleigh Chargers on Saturday alongside Metro teammate Tyreece Leiu.
Vic Country MVP and Kevin Sheehan Medal winner as the best player in Division 1 of the Under-16 Championships Joshua Rachele will step out for the Murray Bushrangers on Sunday in their match against the Northern Knights, with Northern possibly handing debuts to three under-16 players including Metro squad members Jack Rossimel and Darcy Wilmot.
Other prominent players in Country’s under-16 campaign – Ben Hobbs and Joshua Rentsch – will appear in the GWV Rebels’ meeting with the Geelong Falcons on Sunday, while Sam Banks – the Allan McLean Medal winner as the best player in Division 2 of the Championships – comes in for his sixth NAB League match for the Tasmania Devils when they face the Gippsland Power on Saturday.
The third and final match of AFL Victoria’s 2019 Young Guns Series will also take place on Saturday at Avalon Airport Oval from 11am, with a range of NAB League Boys over-age players set to participate.
