THE VFL released its 2010 draw recently, and it has provided some blockbuster clashes already for the Werribee Football Club.

The Tigers kick off their campaign away to the Box Hill Hawks, but the highlight early in the draw is Werribee’s first game against the new Gold Coast team, which will be held under lights at Chirnside Park on Anzac Day eve.

FORMER Sydney premiership player Luke Ablett is fielding several offers from VFL clubs in a bid to resurrect his AFL career.

Port Melbourne, where Ablett played during Sydney's VFL alignment with the Borough in 2001 and 2002, is believed to be the frontrunner for his services, with Williamstown, Box Hill and Sandringham also in the market.

SEVERAL delisted AFL players will be offered the opportunity to rejuvenate their careers with Geelong's VFL side next season.

PORT Melbourne has done a lot of talking to prospective recruits. Last week it was time to lock in a few.

Delisted Carlton onballer Adam Bentick is the most notable of the newcomers, bringing to TEAC Oval the experience of 68 AFL games between 2004 and 2008.
Injury wrecked his 2009, but he did finish the year with some strong performances for the Northern Bullants.
