Selection for interleague football is ramping up, with Broadford and Seymour players selected in initial squads for the Bendigo Football Netball League and the Goulburn Valley Football League respectively.
The Bendigo Football Netball League will be taking on the Ovens and Murray Football Netball League on Saturday, May 23 at the Queen Elizabeth Oval, with four training sessions starting from last Wednesday.
Broadford have three players represented in the squad, with Louis Thompson, Sebastian Morris and Jaiden Magor all selected in the 53-player squad.
Bendigo coach Simon Rosa said there was a competitive feel about the overall squad.
“The depth of talent across the BFNL continues to grow, and that made selection incredibly challenging in the best possible way,” he said.
“This squad gives us a strong foundation to build from, with a great mix of experience, leadership and players who are ready to take the next step at interleague level.
“We’re looking forward to getting the group together, setting our standards early and building a team that represents the league with pride.”
Meanwhile, the Goulburn Valley Football League is gearing up for a July 11 date with the Victorian Amateur Football Association at Elsternwick Park, with two Seymour players making the leadership group.
Lions co-coach Jack Murphy has been selected, as has current leading goalkicker Riley Mason, in a five-man leadership group alongside Benalla’s Nick Warnock and ex-AFL talents Callum Brown and Sam Reid.
