This year’s crop of youngsters will aim to follow in the footsteps of Harley Reid (West Coast Eagles) from the Bendigo Pioneers and Kristie-Lee Weston-Turner (Western Bulldogs) who were the number one picks in the AFL and AFLW drafts last season.

Sandringham Dragons will feature first up on the KommunityTV live coverage.

In a fitting start to the exclusive KommunityTV live coverage, reigning Coates Talent League boys champions Sandringham Dragons will kick start the season on Saturday, March 23.

The Dragons will welcome Calder Cannons to RSEA Park, the home of St Kilda, from 1pm.

The girls will have to wait until after the Easter long weekend before a first round showdown between Sanringham Dragons and Eastern Ranges is broadcast live as part of a double header on Saturday, April 6.

The exclusive live stream coverage will also feature all of the AFL’s interstate academy sides including the Brisbane Lions, Gold Coast Suns, Sydney Swans, GWS Giants and Northern Territory Thunder.
