The Development Series form part of the Talented Player Pathway and many of the best AFL players have made their mark on this Series.
In the initial year of the Championships, leagues have been fixtured against each other in a manner which will assist in the official ranking of leagues for the following year and beyond.
The opportunity to play senior representative football has been enjoyed by Victorians for many years, while metropolitan leagues have welcomed the return of representative football as part of the Metropolitan Championships since 2014.
