Vic Metro and Vic Country are set to face off in a pair of trial matches at Avalon Airport Oval, Werribee, on Sunday.
The matches will assist in the final selection of the Victorian Under-18s National Championships squads, with the best talent in the state from outside the AFL Academy taking place.
Based on industry intel, we've named some of the most prominent players worth tracking at the game.
Harvie Cooke (Northern Knights)
Puts his head over the footy, finds it with clean hands, has an unwavering hunger and uses his brute strength to power through opponents and send the ball forward with purpose. Stands at only 176cm but packs a real punch. Likely projects as a small forward and is a tricky matchup, with his ability to use his body to win aerial contests and fend opponents and accelerate away. Few have had as consistent a start as Cooke.
