Both fixtures also serve as part of the selection process for this year&#8217;s Under 18 National Championships, where Vic Country and Metro will feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Players not selected in Sunday&#8217;s game will still be eligible for the final Under 18 squads, including the stars who instead will line up for the <a href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/2024\/04\/25\/preview-afl-academy-vs-footscray-bulldogs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AFL Academy on Saturday<\/a>. For the Young Guns, all bar one player is eligible to be taken in the AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft on Wednesday May 29.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the more interesting selections is that of Dandenong Stingrays over-ager <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"103864\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/jordan-doherty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jordan Doherty<\/a> for Vic Country, would also have been eligible for the Young Guns. Meanwhile, recent National representative <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"114382\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/tobie-travaglia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tobie Travaglia<\/a> will also line up for Vic Country with eyes on further bolstering his stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game will be streamed live via the AFL website, starting from 11:00am, with a replay set to be available early next week.
