V/Line Cup to be live streamed free

AFL Victoria is pleased to announce that all 21 games of the upcoming 2022 V/Line Cup in Shepparton from 19-21 September will be live streamed free, in a major boost for the 73rd edition of the competition.

Around 600 of the most talented under 15 boys and girls footballers from across country Victoria will converge on Shepparton for the three-day carnival, starting on the Monday of AFL Grand Final week.

For the first time supporters, families and friends will be able to watch all the action live and free via cluch.tv (https://cluch.tv/afl-sports/afl-victoria/) on any online device, meaning the competition will reach more people than ever before.  

Teams representing Barwon, Bendigo, Gippsland, Goulburn Murray, Greater Western Victoria, North East Border and South East will be on show, with 21 teams competing in three divisions across four venues.

Squads have been released for the competition and can be viewed on the official V/Line Cup program here (pdf).

The full fixture is below and can be viewed here (pdf).

Head of AFL Victoria, Ben Kavenagh, said: “The V/Line Cup has a long, proud history dating back to 1949 and it’s exciting for everyone involved that the competition is going to accessible to more people than ever before.

“Whether you’re a supporter, a family member, a teammate of one of the players from community club football or a talent scout, you’ll be able to watch all the action live and free.

“The live streaming will showcase the V/Line Cup, the 600-plus boys and girls playing as well as the umpires and the magnificent venues being used across the City of Greater Shepparton to broader audiences.”

Shepparton welcomes back the V/Line Cup for the second time this year after the postponed 2021 edition was successfully held in April this year, giving players from the under 15 age group last year the opportunity to experience the competition. The 2020 carnival was cancelled because of the COVID pandemic.

V/Line has been premier partner of the event since 2004 and plays a critical role in ensuring the competition can continue and young footballers from across the state have the opportunity to compete against country Victoria’s most talented junior footballers.  

The City of Greater Shepparton has thrown its support behind the V/Line Cup by hosting two competitions in one year, with matches to be played at four venues next week - Deakin Reserve, Mooroopna Recreation Reserve, Princess Park and Rumbalara Reserve.

GFNL Wash Up Finals Week 2

Semi-Final 2: St Mary’s vs Newtown & Chilwell

Although Newtown & Chilwell had early ascendency in the first term, the pace soon quickened. St Mary’s responded in the second quarter and then kept bridging the gap in typical Saints fashion. In the end, it was another convincing win to St Mary's by 30 points.

Jarryd Garner (30 disposals), Zak Sherman (26 disposals), and Jesse Travaglini (26 disposals) dominated the possession count. Patrick Dowling showed his prowess up forward kicking four majors, with Tom Lang kicking three of his own.

Mathieson Medalist Harry Benson was named the best for St Mary’s with nine clearances, ten tackles, and 17 contested possessions.

Matthew Boag (28 disposals) was a ball magnet for the Eagles, with Braden Hocking (23 disposals) and Blake Sutterby (19 disposals and 11 tackles) being the other major influences for Newtown & Chilwell.

St Mary's win gives them another week off before they challenge for the Holy Grail. 

Best

St Mary’s: H. Benson, C. Sprague, N. Nott, J. Garner, J. Travaglini, Z. Sherman

Newtown & Chilwell: M. Boag, B. Hocking, B. Sutterby, L. Bond, C. Karpala

Goals

St Mary’s: 4 P. Dowling, 3 T. Lang, M. Augerinos, H. Kol, T. McMullan, B. Moloney, C. Sprague

Newtown & Chilwell: 2 C. Harris, 2 Ned Harris, 2 T. Panuccio, J. Walters

Final Score

St Mary’s: 12.16 (88)

Newtown & Chilwell: 7.16 (58)

 

Semi-Final 1: Colac vs Leopold

After their past two games, Leopold are every chance to contend for the Premiership. The Lions' attack against Colac was nothing short of relentless. The damage all started from the opening bounce, as the Lions piled on six goals to two in the opening quarter. The Tigers just could not get back in the game as Leopold's defensive and offensive efforts proved too great. 

All Leopold's superstars came to play, Mitch Patten (5 goals), Tom Feely (10 clearances), Trent West (46 hit-outs), and Jai Thompson (25 disposals), all played a major part in their 70-point win over Colac.

Colac’s best was Bailey Scott with 20 disposals, nine tackles, 12 contested possessions, and one major. Darcy Lang also had a good game with 24 disposals, 15 contested possessions, and seven clearances.

Best

Colac: B. Scott, B. Mahoney, D. Lang, T. Woodmason, A. Walters, K. Spokes

Leopold: O. Tate, M. Burgess, C. Giddings, M. Patten, J. Thompson, T. Thompson

Goals

Colac: 2 F. O’Gorman, 2 J. Simpkin, A. Garner, B. Scott, T. Woodmason, Z. Zdybel

Leopold: 5 M. Patten, 3 J. Pitt, 3 B. Williamson, 2 T. Feely, 2 C. Giddings, 2 L. Herbert, M. Burgess, S. Hughes

Final Score

Colac: 8.7 (55)

Leopold: 19.11 (125)

 

Preliminary Final: Newtown & Chilwell vs Leopold

The way the Lions have played finals so far, it’s hard to see them as underdogs going into this upcoming match. Newtown & Chilwell have been nothing short of exceptional all year, they have beaten Leopold twice in the Home & Away season. 

The last time was in Round 13 where the Eagles won by a bare margin of five points. But Leopold had a similar situation against Colac where they had lost both their encounters earlier this year, yet they beat the Tigers well in the Semi-Finals.

This should be a genuine battle. Leopold’s Mitch Patten and Marcus Thompson can turn a game on its head. On the other hand, the Eagles have weapons of their own in Matthew Boag, Blake Sutterby, and Braden Hocking, just to name a few. St Mary’s awaits the winner in the Grand Final
