2012 TOYOTA AFL PREMIERSHIP SEASON – ROUND 14 INTERNATIONAL BROADCAST SCHEDULE Friday 29 June  – Sunday 1 July.

The AFL this week announced the full World18 squad adding the multicultural youths to the already named internationals that make up the 26-man squad.

The team will be coached by former St Kilda and Brisbane player Xavier Clarke. Clarke will benefit from the assistance of triple premiership former Brisbane player Chris Johnson who has been involved with the Under 16 championships the past two years.

The AFL have published a list of multicultural players currently on AFL lists (international scholarship list not included).  A total of 118 players from a multicultural background (i.e. having at least one parent born overseas) are among the 841 players on AFL lists in 2012.  Of those 118, twenty one were born overseas.  See the full list below.

The AFL today announced the Australian multicultural Team of Champions initial squad list of 50 (see table below). To be eligible to be selected the players must either have been born overseas or had at least one parent born overseas.

Jock McHale has already been named coach and Alex Jesaulenko has been named as captain. AFL General Manager National and International Development Andrew Dillon stressed those selected were based on available information and will accept other nominations should other eligible players come to light.  "The AFL will also ask the WAFL and SANFL to put forward its nominations for players who should be considered for selection.  Many records pre-dating 1930 are incomplete and we will welcome any further nominations from the public who can confirm any player heritage from the early years of our game that we may not have been able to confirm."
