Bendigo Football Netball League (BFNL) 2024 Senior Interleague Coach Ash Connick today announced a 61-player training squad as part of the preparation for the upcoming interleague match against the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA) at Elsternwick Park, Brighton on July 6.

The imposing 61-player squad has representation from every BFNL club and will include a group of 9 talented players forming a “Futures Squad”. The Futures Squad will see one emerging talented player from each club involved in the elite training program to further assist with their football development.
The team will commence training in early June, with further details regarding the training program to be confirmed in due course. The initial training squad will be trimmed in late-June, prior to confirming the final 22-player team who will be selected to represent the BFNL upon its highly anticipated 2024 return to interleague competition.
On the announcing of the initial training squad, Connick said, ‘We are really pleased with the squad we've picked, and thankful for the volume of players who have made themselves available for representative selection’.
‘In selecting the training squad, the coaching panel have attempted to cover all bases as a lot can happen in football between now and game day’.
Connick continued, ‘We are excited to also announce the selected futures development players, who were nominated by their respective club coaches, and we are very confident this will be a great experience for these young players to support their development and progression into future representative programs’.
