22 TAC Cup players eligible to be drafted in 2017 will train with AFL clubs for two weeks during December as part of the NAB AFL Academy program.
Five Dandenong Stingrays players headline the TAC Cup contingent of the Level Two (top-age) Academy group, with Oscar Clavarino and Luke Davies-Uniacke training at Melbourne, Hunter Clark and Tom De Koning at St Kilda, and Aaron Darling (pictured - left) heading to West Coast to be alongside his cousin Jack Darling this month.
Western Jets pair Lachlan Fogarty and Cameron Rayner (pictured - centre) will have the chance to experience the inner sanctum of reigning AFL premiers the Western Bulldogs, while GWS Academy members Jarrod Brander (Bendigo Pioneers) and Charlie Spargo (Murray Bushrangers - pictured, right) will train with the Giants, who’ll have first rights on them at the 2017 NAB AFL Draft.
