Two local Vic Country players selected for Futures Girls showcase

A PAIR of local footballers will feature in this weekend’s Marsh AFL National Futures Girls showcase match.

St Mary’s Ava Bilyk and Torquay’s Greea McKeegan, who both play for Victoria Country, have both been picked in Team Conti, which will wear blue and green jumpers.

The teams for the Marsh AFL National Futures Girls match have been named after Carlton forward and two-time AFLW leading goalkicker Darcy Vescio and Richmond midfielder and AFLW best and fairest Monique Conti.

Team Vescio (in white jumpers) will be coached by Brad Snell and Team Conti will be coached by Tash Heffernan.

The Marsh AFL National Futures program brings talented players from across the country together in a high-performance environment as they prepare to enter their draft year.

All players selected in the 2025 Marsh AFL National Futures squad are born in 2008 and will be eligible for selection in the 2026 Telstra AFLW Draft. Players were nominated by state talent programs, national selectors and AFLW club recruiters.

Many of the players selected will go on to feature in the 2026 Marsh AFL National Academy.

The Marsh AFL National Futures Girls squad features four members of the 2025 Marsh AFL National Championships U18 All Australian Team.

Players will arrive in camp from tomorrow (Saturday, September 12) and will train at the NEC Hangar on Saturday morning in preparation for Sunday’s match.

Team Vescio and Team Conti will face off this Sunday, September 14 from 10am ahead of the AFLW Round 5 clash between Geelong and Richmond.
