AFL Capricornia today announced its senior Men’s and Women’s representative training squads in preparation to play AFL Mackay at Rockhampton on Saturday July 1st.
The squad boasts players from all the clubs, with players from the two ladder leading club’s – Yeppoon Swans and BITS Saints dominating the list.
Ex-Sydney Swans Player Craig O’Brien will lead the team in a non-playing capacity. His focus will be on developing a squad and implementing a game plan that he believes that can take it right up to the AFL Mackay team.
Craig O’Brien last played for Sydney Swans in 2000 were he played 41 AFL games and also had stints with Essendon and St Kilda for a total of 114 AFL games. He kicked 191 goals and had some great success in the AFLQ with Broadbeach and Palm Beach.
Glenmore Bulls Premiership coach and current coach Ross Borg will coach the women’s representative team.
Ross Borg is a very experience coach at senior men’s and women’s level with great success over many years of coaching in the AFL Capricornia and 2 AFL Capricornia Medals and Four Premierships as a player.
AFL Queensland Competition & Club Development Manager – Capricornia Peter Young, said the squad is based purely and simply on getting the best players possible together for this representative game v Mackay in both men’s and women’s teams.
‘We believe each club have selected the most in form players in the competition thus far. Although the initial squad has been selected, opportunities for further additions may be included, based on form and availability,” Young added.
The match will also pay an integral role in providing players in both regions with the opportunity to show off their talents to selectors for the upcoming North Queensland vs South East Queensland clash in Cairns on July 22. The North Queensland team will feature players from AFL Townsville, AFL Cairns, AFL Mackay and AFL Capricornia. A member of the NQ coaching staff will be in attendance at the match as part of the talent ID process.
The squad will have their first training session 12noon at Stenlake Park on Sunday 28th May, with a final team list announced in late June.
