The Goulburn Murray VLine squad has been finalised with 50 boys selected following trials held at Kialla Park Recreation Reserve last week.
The squad of 50 will be put through their paces in two practise matches against North East Border on Wednesday 15 July under lights at Wangaratta Showgrounds with the first game starting at 5pm.
Head Coach Scott Watson is looking forward to seeing all 50 players in action in the two games next week.
"All of the players worked really hard last week and the coaching staff were impressed with the intensity and commitment of the players" he said.
"These two games next week are an important part of the next stage of preparation for the State Carnival to be held in Gippsland from 29 September to 1 October."
"The second game on Wednesday night will be playing for the Robbie Harrison Memorial Trophy which honours the memory of former Tatura, Tongala, Kyabram and Numurkah player Robert Harrison."
"It will be great to Robbie’s son Darryl attending on the night to present the trophy at the end of the game."
"We will continue to monitor player performances at their clubs as well as their efforts in our practise matches and training sessions before the final Division 1 and Division 3 teams are announced next month."
"As an added incentive for the players both games will be played under the watchful eye of Murray Bushrangers Talent Manager Lee Fraser and TAC Cup Coach Darren Ogier."
"The VLine Cup is the first step in the AFL player pathway and with the talent we have seen so far this year hopefully there will be another Brett Deledio, Steele Sidebottom, Sam Wright or David Mundy in our group."
