Regular Vic Country representative Jack Geary, his Golden Square team-mate Adam Baird, Sandhurst coach Andrew Collins, Eaglegawk midfielder Brodie Collins and young Gisborne key defender Jack Reaper were picked in the 42-man squad.
Geary, Baird, Reaper and Collins were rewarded for their form with Bendigo in last month’s inter-league loss to Hampden.
Collins missed that match because of injury, but the former Richmond and Carlton midfielder has been in super form with Sandhurst.
Birchip-Watchem star Dale Hinkley and former Bendigo Gold VFL captain Steven Stroobants also made the training squad.
Victoria Country will be coached by Danny Frawley. The game will be played in Ballarat on July 7.
On the same day, the Victoria Country under-19s will play the VAFA under-19s.
Strathfieldsaye trio Bailey Henderson, Lachlan Gill and Lachlan Wallace, South Bendigo’s Brayden Torpey, Gisborne’s Jack Scanlon and Leitchville-Gunbower’s Logan Prout are in the 52-man training squad.
