Sweet Sixteen! For the Love of the Game’s Week 16 Review

By Jason Bennett · August 12, 2025
Sweet Sixteen! For the Love of the Game’s Week 16 Review

Jason Bennett, Paddy Grindlay & Matthew Donald savour the sweetness of Week 16 of VAFA action, where the finals and relegation races began to get clearer in some sections, but even more complicated in others!

The team catches up with:

  • Collegians coach JORDIE McKENZIE, who dashed off to the hospital at three-quarter time as his wife Bella gave birth to their first child, Grace!
  • Old Camberwell coach NEIL CONNELL, who stayed for the full four quarters as his team posted a critical win over Old Melburnians to set up a blockbuster against Caulfield this weekend;
  • Old Peninsula youngster (and 302-game Melbourne AFL champion) NATHAN JONES after his 6-goal debut for the Pirates wasn’t enough to earn him a Best Player vote!! He speaks about his special experience playing local footy with his mates for the first time in decades.

Plus, our regular segments:

  • VAFA newshound BRAYDEN MAY with all the latest news in his Divisional Wrap;
  • TON WATCH & BIG BAGS, thanks to Sherrin… It’s happening! Which player booted 19 goals on the weekend to reach 95 majors for the season!!
  • The WORLD FAMOUS TIPS – Paddy extended his lead ever so slightly, while Matty has gone for a massive Premier Men’s upset!

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