The AFL Victoria Metro Junior Development Series is now completed for season 2023.
The EFNL had a successful series winning 13 of the 18 games played but more importantly the players developed their skills further and created memories they will remember for years to come.
The league would not be able to run the series without the great support it receives from its Development Series partners. We would like to thank the following partners for their great support of the Academy Program in 2023:
- Hawthorn Football Club
- Project Gap – Jarryd Cursio Head of EFNL Fitness and Conditioning
- SEDA
- Field of View Photography
- Host Clubs – Mitcham FC, Boronia FC, & Eastern Devils FC
The EFNL would also like to thank the coaches for 2023. The level of professionalism they have brought to the program has taken the academy to the next level, and we are grateful for all the hard work you have put in. Thank you to the following coaches:
- Dean Jones – Under 15 Div 1
- Rhian Greaves – Under 15 Div 2
- Wayne Judge – Under 14 Div 1
- Greg Walker/Richard Vukic – Under 14 Div 2

These coaches were also complimented by a great set of assistants and parent helpers. The league is extremely grateful for all your work in helping the coaches deliver a first-class program.
To all the players – thank you for your efforts in 2023. We will see some again in 2024 and to all the others the league wishes you well in your future football aspirations. You all made yourself, the league, your clubs and families proud and conducted yourselves in an exemplary manner throughout the program.
