THE EFL has had its first glimpse of its upcoming interleague opponent.

The squad is predominantly made up of players from Premier clubs, with 14 Premier B players also selected.

“Anytime a VAFA representative side is assembled for a match, the results of the past are not relevant to what is to come,” VAFA coach Simon Lethlean told vafa.com.au.
“Given the nature of representative football programs, whenever you play against another rep side, usually a couple of years have passed since the last encounter, hence players have turned over, coaches have turned over and even game styles change in that time.”
“You have to approach each representative match like a grand final because there is no second chance.”
