Final Big V side announced

By VAFA Media · July 11, 2019
Final Big V side announced

The final Big V side for tomorrow’s Brian Molony Cup has been announced with the VAFA blooding 10 debutants at Ikon Park.

Former AFL pair and University Blues stars, Cam O’Shea and Josh Green, lead a host of new talent from the Blues alongside teammates Connor Lappin and Tim Harper.

Old Brighton trio Tom Fisher, Elliot Le Grice and Nick Pavlou will join Harry Hill as four Tonners in the side, while Ben Darrou (Collegians), Harry Thompson (Old Trinity), and Conor Ross (St Kevin’s OB) will also represent the senior side for the first time.

With Tom Quinn’s second consecutive selection and Marshall Rippon recalled, the Blues boast the highest number of representatives with six while SKOB and the Tonners have four each.

10 of the 22 played in last year’s win over South Australia, while Gabe Hamilton returns after last playing in 2015 when he kicked four goals against the Country in Bendigo.

The Big V will face the Country from 1pm at Ikon Park tomorrow and you can tune into the live stream with commentary from Nick Armistead and Joe Pignataro on the VAFA website at 12:50pm.
