2025 VAFA Awards Show - Celebrating our League Best & Fairest Winners!

We're three rounds into VAFA season 2026, and there's already PLENTY to talk about!

Jason Bennett, Matthew Donald & Brayden May are back for their weekly breakdown of everything that's going on around the League, FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME.

This week, the boys catch up with:
FITZROY coach JACK DALTON, who talks us through his first 3 weeks in the senior role, leading the Roys to a perfect 3-0 start. How has he gone about re-energising Brunswick St Oval after back-to-back relegations?
GLEN EIRA/OLD McKINNON coach MEL KUYS, who led the Gryphons to their first ever win in Premier B Women's over the weekend. Mel tells us about the challenges of recalibrating expectations after winning 35 of 36 over the past two seasons to claim back-to-back flags. Now the Gryphs face a brand new challenge.
Holmesglen U19 Premier scribe LACHIE MOIR talks us through an incredible start to the season, which has seen 9 of the 15 matches decided by 11 points or less!

Plus, all the usual goodies:
BIG BAGS - 4 players kicked double-figure hauls in Round 3, including a perfect dozen!
TON WATCH - We'll check the goalkicking leaderboard in the race for the ton!
TIPS - The unpredictability across all comps is making for a tipping nightmare!

Along with full scores & ladders from all senior men's & women's competitions.

It's all right here, FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME!

And you can also WATCH THE SHOW on our VAFAHQ YouTube channel!
