By VAFA Media · January 29, 2025
Summer lovin’: Old Scotch coaches reflect on 2024 flag glory

With VAFA clubs returning to the training track, Jason Bennett, Joey Pignataro & Paddy Grindlay return to the studio to wrap up season 2024 and look ahead to 2025 with the year’s first episode of FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME.

They celebrate Old Scotch’s historic Premier Men’s & Women’s premiership double by catching up with flag-winning coaches MARK GNATT & DEAN ANDERSON.

Plus, all the latest news from up & down the VAFA sections with News Ltd journo BRAYDEN MAY.

And a look at the major PLAYER INS & OUTS for each Premier Men’s team across the summer to date.

All that and more thanks to MECWACARE… FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME!
