Good story
LEADING draft prospects Peter Wright, Hugh Goddard and Christian Petracca will be keen to continue their strong early-season form in Friday's AIS-AFL Academy curtain-raiser at the MCG.
The three Victorians are members of the Academy side which will take on Collingwood's VFL team at 4.20pm ahead of the Hawthorn and Fremantle Grand Final rematch.
Wright, a 202cm forward from the Calder Cannons, kicked five goals at the weekend while Goddard, the cousin of Bomber Brendon, booted three goals for the Geelong Falcons.
Petracca, who starred in last year's TAC Cup finals series as a half-forward, has pushed further into the midfield and proved himself to be a goalkicking on-baller.
The VFL contest has proved an excellent form line in recent years as to the top draft selections of their respective years.
Last season Tom Boyd established himself as the standout player of his draft pool with a 10-mark effort against the Magpies' VFL side, while the year before father-son Joe Daniher starred against the Box Hill Hawks.

The fact the game is at the G as a warmup to Friday's senior game makes it tough for Pies fans to get along to. Shame it couldn't align with a Collingwood Friday night fixture.

As for the lecture on the age of entitlement... bit rich coming from someone who'll get into the G for free to see the game...

Careful JW, Stupied will soon tell you that politics belongs only in VPT.....
Since JW hasn't tried to label anyone left or right wing for no good reason, and wasn't derogatory, I have no issues.
Here are some rolly eye smilies for you because I know you <3 them.
