Victoria Metro and New South Wales/ACT will meet in the opening match at 10:30am, before Victoria Country and Queensland square off at 1:00pm.

The Swans representatives are Zachary Nandlal, Mitchell Woods, Joe Harrison, Nicholas Andreacchio, Felix Rugge-Price, Colby Hill, Thomas Hitchens, Cameron Esteron and Joel Cochran. 

The showcase matches provide an opportunity for players to push their case for selection for the 2023 AFL Futures match, which will be played as a curtain-raiser to the 2023 Toyota AFL Grand Final on Saturday, September 30.

The matches will also provide a development opportunity for several emerging coaches within Coates Talent League programs, with NSW/ACT to be led by Sydney Swans premiership defender and GWS Giants Academy head coach Tadhg Kennelly.

All players selected for Sunday’s matches were born in 2006 and will be eligible for selection in the 2024 AFL Draft.

For those who can't make it to the game, both matches will be live streamed via Cluch TV.
