This weekend is a huge weekend of VAFA action on radio.
It all starts tomorrow morning from 9am when the VAFA Football show on 96.5 Inner FM chats to Old Xaverians and VAFA rep side spearhead Matt Handley about his eight goal haul against the Queenslanders last weekend. Tom Penberthy – winner of Spirit of the Big V Award – will talk about the VAFA Under 23 triumph over Tasmania too.

Then stick around for special guest Mark Robinson from the Herald Sun and AFL 360 to talk about his days at North Old Boys and we are sure he will give his latest insight to the Essendon situation.
