No and its understandable, they would want more opportunities which they'll get with a standalone club

I agree.
I guess the coaching part of going back with more money would be enticing.
Playing VFL is tough financial wise.

I have heard stories of Local Teams offering Good Money and a Job for Players to join that team

The money in the ammo’s or local footy is way better than the VFL

Yeah, playing VFL isn't for the money, it's about trying to get drafted, or at least to keep playing at the highest level possible - if your finances allow it.

Must feel he is 0% chance of Getting Drafted

Prob felt if any chance it was this year when Hutchy got drafted.

makes sense for young players to try somewhere else after a couple of seasons with limited opportunities where they couldn't force their way into the team

I wonder if any of the VFL boys will get invited to do a pre-season with the AFL squad?

Yeah, afl VFL sides are not an easy caper.

I'll keep an eye out.

They do get some time with the AFL squad

It is where the system is broken. So many kids quit and go back to local footy as soon as they are done in the TAC cup as the pathway is not there.

Feel like the AFL should and could do a lot better in this space

100% They need to put more time into it. You want it to be the pathway into the afl.

Obvious link is pretty much every uni sponsors an AFL club.

Use the corporate links to offer kids scholarships so they get free university while they play state league football.

Also all TAC squads are a bit plastic and doesn’t have a club feel at all. They need to try and set up a proper state league that provides a pathway. At the moment you play TAC cup to get drafted and for no other reason. Where you look at the Queensland Cup in RL and the boys play at a club while the goal is to play NRL if that doesn’t work staying at playing seniors there and trying to win a flag with the lads you grew up with is an incentive for them to stay. For most of the lads they are in the junior programs from under 14s
