VAFA Podcast – Community Umpiring Round, a Blue day for the Tonners as records tumble at the Trott

By Joe Pignataro · May 17, 2023
VAFA Podcast – Community Umpiring Round, a Blue day for the Tonners as records tumble at the Trott

We are five weeks into the VAFA home and away season for 2023.

Join Joe Pignataro and Josh Heriot for the full agenda from the weekends action which saw plenty of highlights to go down in the VAFA history books.

  • Collegians follow up last weeks 110 point victory with another one
  • University Blues produce a win for the ages at Brighton Beach Oval
  • An underrated gun has returned to Camberwell Sports Park
  • Premier C sees another drawn match, a classic final quarter that went 37 minutes
  • The complete recap from the Divisions

This week the VAFA is recognising the contribution made by umpires as it celebrates National Community Umpiring Week. VAFA Umpires Operations Manager, Stephen Priviteria joins Joe to discuss the benefits of becoming a boundary, field and goal umpire.

Also on the agenda with Priv:

  • The uptake of umpiring in the VAFA in 2023
  • Creating pathways with the YJFL and the VFL/State Leagues
  • An exclusive trial to mic up the umpires for the remainder of the year
  • Fresh initiatives for umpires who sign up this weekend
  • The BJS Umpiring Academy

Plus the world famous tips are back, and a whole lot more.
