THE first round of five consecutive rounds featuing the four Northern Academies and Northern Territory kicks off Saturday morning, with a record nine games played over the next month and a half. Tasmania Devils also play their first game in the NAB League Boys competition, pitted against Sydney Swans Academy in the opening game of the round. While the Victorian sides play against each other in Round 2, the six sides playing their first competitive game take part in a Triple Header at Blacktown International Sports Park. Potential first round picks, Mitch O’Neill,<\/strong> Thomas Green<\/strong> and Caleb Serong<\/strong> are set to run out for their first games in the competition, with the latter missing last week. Oakleigh has lost co-captain, Trent Bianco<\/strong> after copping a knock last week, while potential Essendon father-son prospect Mason Fletcher<\/strong> has been named by Calder Cannons.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n SYDNEY SWANS ACADEMY v.
