Game one is scheduled for an 11:00am start, before game two bounces down at 1:30pm. The trial games serve as a major selection tool for the final Vic Country and Vic Metro Under 18 squads. It comes after prospects competed in the first three-week block of Coates Talent League action.
Two Young guns fixtures are also slated for later this month. The yet to be announced squad of over-age players will face Vic Metro on Saturday April 20 at Avalon Airport Oval, before a clash with Vic Country on Sunday April 28 at Windy Hill.
Players not participating in the trial games will still be eligible for selection in the final squads, including a raft of AFL Academy stars who are set to take on Coburg VFL at IKON Park tomorrow. Squad numbers will be added closer to the date – bookmark this article where they will be updated.
