Some nice match ups for the opening round, I'm predicting Knights vs Chargers to be MOTR given the talent in both squads, but Ranges v Calder should also be entertaining.

NAB League Girls 2022 fixture released: Next generation of women’s talent on show from this weekend​

The AFL has released the fixture for the 2022 NAB League Girls talent pathway competition, which starts on Saturday 22 January.

The future stars of women’s football will compete across a 10-week home-and-away season, culminating with the NAB League Girls Grand Final to be played on the weekend of 9/10 April.

The 2022 NAB League Girls competition is commencing earlier this year to more closely align to the NAB AFLW season. This means the season will conclude prior to the NAB AFLW National Championships for under 18 girls in April.

In further changes this year, there will be two additional home-and-away matches per team and longer quarters (increase from 17 minutes to 20 minutes), providing players with more experience at the elite talent pathway level and exposure to AFLW recruiters.

In a big start to the season, four matches will take place this Saturday, with Eastern Ranges and Calder Cannons getting the competition underway with a clash at Kilsyth.

A highlight of the opening round sees reigning premiers Oakleigh Chargers kick off their season against fellow 2021 finalist Northern Knights on Sunday 23 January. The Chargers will take on Geelong Falcons in the NAB League Girls Grand Final rematch in week four, Saturday 12 February.

Tasmania, after finishing second on the ladder in 2021, will open their campaign with three consecutive home games in Launceston, Penguin and North Hobart.

NAB League Girls matches will be showcased right across metropolitan and country Victoria, with games to be played in regional locations including Yarrawonga, Garfield, Morwell, Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo and Wangaratta.

In addition to the 13 NAB League Girls teams playing on a weekly basis, teams representing Northern Territory, Brisbane Lions and Gold Coast Suns have been fixtured to play one-off matches against NAB League Girls sides at different stages during the season, giving players from the Northern Territory and Queensland exposure and experience against some of the country’s best young talent.

While COVID-19 continues to impact the community, the health and welfare of players and the community remains the priority and all matches will operate in a safe manner based on advice of respective governments, public health officials and medical experts. Protocols are in place to protect players, officials, staff and the wider public at training and matches. These have been communicated to clubs. In November, the AFL released its Vaccination Policy for Talent Pathway Programs and Competitions, which can be viewed here. Spectators are allowed to attend matches in line with venue and government requirements.

An update on the streaming of NAB League Girls matches will be provided later in the week. The NAB League App, presented by Telstra, can be downloaded through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

(Not sure if here or the Vic footy thread is the more appropriate place for this. If I have wronged, let me know.)

When I turned on the app to watch the games today, I noticed they've started putting up replays again there. They also seem to be up on both AFL.com.au and womens.afl

Round 1 links (AFL.com.au)
Eastern v Calder
Murray v Bendigo
Tasmania v Sandringham
GWV v Gippsland
Geelong v Dandenong
Northern v Oakleigh

Round 2 replays aren't up yet, but I've got scores for anyone interested:

Spoiler: Murray v Geelong

Falcons 8.9.57 def Bushrangers 8.5.53

Spoiler: Bendigo v GWV

Pioneers 9.8.62 Rebels 1.6.12

Spoiler: Gippsland v Dandenong

Stingrays 22.17.149 def Power 2.2.14

Spoiler: Tasmania v Western

Devils 10.5.65 def Jets 5.4.34

Spoiler: Calder v Northern

Cannons 6.2.38 def Knights 4.4.28

Murray v Geelong was one of the best junior games I've ever seen.

 

[PMBangers]

Dandenong trounced Murray today with a weakened side, reckon if there was any doubt about who the best side is before there isn't now. Insane looking at their list;
Amber Clarke, Mack Eardley, Emily Shepherd, Liv Robinson, Taylah Gatt, Jaide Anthony would be odds on to make the Country side and very much in the draft frame, but even from there someone like Felicity Crank would make it and it shouldn't shock anyone. Got a solid 2005 contingent as well with Mikayla Williamson, Bianca Lyne and Jemma Ramsdale all key parts of the side already

I tend to just use the NAB League app. Rookie Me Central has stats as well if you need a website, but they are a bit behind the app at present.

Final team will be Thursday again. Pretty much those with five or more Team of the Week nominations get in (there's 14 of them), and then 10 from the rest. We like to do it because the actual "NAB League" Team of the Year takes into account National Championships, and leans very heavily towards players who though they might get drafted, didn't have as good of a NAB League season compared to someone else, so it's rewarding those players (who are all talented in their own right) for great NAB League seasons, not just looking at what the team could e in five years on pure quality.

It’s a good idea. Also because not just the best 25 overall will get drafted, so things like this give some idea of the next layer of Victorian talent in the draft.

How many will get drafted do you think? As in overall national draft depth vs just Vic?

It’s a good idea. Also because not just the best 25 overall will get drafted, so things like this give some idea of the next layer of Victoria. talent in the draft.

How many will get drafted do you think? As in overall national draft depth vs just Vic?

The majority of them, even in that 50 should get drafted. They do stretch across this year, 2023, 2024 and even 2025 though as well.

I reckon 44/45 out of that 50 at least would get drafted, but still a very high possibility of even 48/49. To make it into each team they must have shown some draftable signs (performed strong enough) so they would be right up in contention.

I don't think the depth after the top 15-20 is as good as it will be in future years, but is still quite good when looking at hindsight for past years. The likes of Dandenong and Western will likely have plenty of draftees due to team success (and AFLW clubs will see if individuals can impress in their own right at the top level). There are still the most draftable prospects in Vic (there has to be with 10 teams vs max. of two in other states), but SA on a per capita rate is incredible this season.

Ya the quality will keep improving, it’s all going that way with massive investment compared to ten or twenty years ago. Another ten years will bring it to perhaps similar to the mens as long as the money is there

How do we end up with 2025 prospects in U18s? 2-3 grades higher than they should be at 14/15? Are they just that good or aren’t there enough players in the 17-18 cohort?

How do we end up with 2025 prospects in U18s? 2-3 grades higher than they should be at 14/15? Are they just that good or aren’t there enough players in the 17-18 cohort?

A little from Column A, a little from Column B. They are more than good enough to play at the level, but also the fact that the team's they are in (Gippsland and Tasmania) do not have as many talented top-age prospects. Though technically they are not supposed to play them, they can get allowances because at the end of the day it's a talent identification competition, and there's no point playing an over-ager that doesn't have value or won't get drafted, compared to a future talent.
