AROUND THE AMMOS – April 23, 2026
Read the latest weekly headlines around the VAFA — off the field and around the boundary line. CLEARY REACHES MASSIVE MILESTONE WITH 450 GAMES Damien Cleary, 52, reached a momentous
The 2025 VAFA Division 1 Men’s fixture has been released, and it promises to be an action-packed season!
Elsternwick and Brunswick are making the step up from Division 2, with the Wicks kicking off their campaign for a premiership hat-trick with an opening-round visit to Ormond in what will be their first Div 1 game in 38 years.
Brunswick, who last won the Division 1 flag in 2012, will begin their next chapter by hosting Therry Penola in Round 1 on Saturday April 5.
Monash Blues and Oakleigh are the two teams arriving from Premier C – the Blues, who won the Div 1 title in 2003, will visit Old Peninsula first up, while the Krushers, who won the Div 1 flag in 2007, will visit the Preston Bullants.
2024 Division 1 finalists Ormond and UHS-VU will reignite their rivalry at E.E.Gunn Reserve in Round 3 and after their thrilling 5-point First Semi Final clash last year (that saw the Monders eliminated), it promises to be another must-see affair.
There will be three single-week bye rounds throughout the season – between Rounds 2-3, 8-9 (King’s Birthday) and 12-13 (Big V rep weekend).
The final round of the home & away season will take place on Saturday August 23, followed by a three-week Finals campaign culminating with Grand Final Day on the weekend of September 13-14.
