TEAM OVERVIEW
Vic Country will welcome seven new players to its representative squad, with 10 players returning to the side after finishing third in 2017.
All eleven regional clubs within the VFFL are represented, with eight players from the CVGT Australia Northern Conference selected, while a further eight players hail from the Western Conference.
Selection to the Vic Country squad comes following the first representative practice match between the two country VFFL conferences, which saw over 30 regional players showcase their skills at Bendigo’s Weeroona Oval.
Leading the Country squad for the first time is GV Stars coach Steve Reeves. With experience coaching senior interleague with the Kyabram District Football League and Dookie Utd, Reeves will take over from Matt Deegan after two years at the helm.
