2011 AFL National Under 18 Championships
The 2011 NAB AFL Under-18 Championships were the 16th edition of the AFL Under-18 Championships. Eight teams competed in the championships: Vic Metro, Vic Country, South Australia and Western Australia in Division 1, and New South Wales/Australian Capital Territory (NSW/ACT), Northern Territory, Queensland and Tasmania in Division 2. Vic Metro were the Division One champions and Tasmania were the Division Two champions. [1][2] The Larke Medal (for the best player in Division 1) was awarded to Western Australia's Stephen Coniglio,[3] and the Hunter Harrison Medal (for the best player in Division 2) was won by Tasmania's John McKenzie.[4]
Format
The format used for the 2011 championships differed slightly from the format used in 2009 and 2010. The two-division format used since 1992 was continued, with each team playing five matches: three against the opponents from their own division, and two from the other division. The cross-divisional matches were played in the first two rounds, and did not count for points or percentage.[5]
