Five club-tied Vic Metro prospects and four club-tied Vic Country prospects headline the U18s state summer squads.
Both squads are taking part in high performance camps at Deakin University, Geelong across 22-23 January.
Essendon-tied Blake Justice, Western Bulldogs-tied small forward Khaled El Souki and North Melbourne-tied Sam Harris are all part of the Vic Metro squad, having also taken part in AFL pre-season training with their respective clubs.
Bottom-agers Tevita Rodan (Essendon Next Generation Academy, Port Adelaide father-son) and Koby Bewick (Essendon father-son prospect) are also part of Vic Metro’s squad.

AFL Academy members Arki Butler, Harry Van Hattum, Tate Hodgson, Lewis Houndsome and Harrison Chapman are other big names to watch for.
Star Carlton father-son prospect Cody Walker, bottom-aged Port Adelaide father-son player Louis Salopek, Hawthorn Next Generation Academy member Keenan Boi and Richmond Next Generation Academy member Tanner Armstrong are part of Vic Country’s squad.
All trained with their respective clubs across pre-season.
Darcy Szerszyn, Noah Williams, Jack Pickett, Wil Malady and Marlon Neocleous each made the squad after representing Vic Country as bottom-agers in 2025.

Gippsland Power was the most represented Talent League program with eight boys in the squad.
