The team played two games during April and we are so proud of Beth and the way she has represented the Bendigo Pioneers and Victoria with strength and determination!

AFL - Jobe Shanahan
We’d like to acknowledge Year 12 student, Jobe Shanahan, for his selection in the AFL Academy squad, which features many of the country’s most promising footballers eligible for the 2024 AFL Draft.
The AFL Academy played the first of its two showcase games on Saturday, but unfortunately went down by 26 points to Coburg at Ikon Park.
Jobe, who has been described as a dynamic tall forward, booted the game’s opening goal with a nicely struck 40m set shot.
We wish Jobe all the best with his subsequent games and look forward to watching where his AFL journey takes him.
