VFL Media Release – TAC Band Together Road Safety Round 14 VFL Fixture

The AFL has today released the dates and times for Round 14 of the VFL Premiership Season.

In Round 14, Victorian VFL Clubs will join over 1200 football and netball clubs across metro and regional Victoria to support a new initiative for the TAC and AFL Victoria Road Safety Round.

For the 30th year of their partnership with AFL Victoria, the TAC will be spreading their message of eliminating deaths and serious injuries on the roads to over 400,000 Victorians involved in local sporting clubs, along with their onlooking communities.

Throughout the history of the AFL, black armbands have been worn to honour a death in the community. For TAC and AFL Victoria Band Together Round, club captains, players, and their entire communities will be wearing a blue armband, one that represents their commitment to road safety.

There are over 700,000 bands being distributed to every club across the state, with all encouraged to share their reason for wearing the band and wanting safer roads through #tacbandtogether or visiting tac.vic.gov.au/bandtogether to learn more.

The AFL continues to work closely with respective State Governments, all VFL Clubs and other key stakeholders to best manage the relevant border restrictions currently in place, ensuring the health and safety of the community remains paramount.
