For the Love of the Game’s Week 17 Review

By VAFA Media · August 19, 2025
For the Love of the Game’s Week 17 Review

Jason Bennett, Paddy Grindlay & Matthew Donald delve deeper into another cracking weekend of VAFA footy as the finals & relegation races continue to tighten!

The boys catch up with:

  • Uni Blues coach MATT SMITH after his team’s critical victory in the Uni Derby;
  • Old Geelong coach NICK DIXON after his team kept its season alive by knocking off the top-of-the-table Old Ivanhoe;
  • Parkside coach RICK FROST after his team defeated Mazenod & took a giant step towards safety in Premier C.

Plus, our regular segments:

  • VAFA newshound BRAYDEN MAY’s Divisional Wrap – Ormond maintain their perfect record… just!
  • TON WATCH & BIG BAGS, thanks to Sherrin – which section had a 17-goal & 14-goal haul that decided the season’s goalkicking champion;
  • The WORLD FAMOUS TIPS – Paddy’s lead gets trimmed in the race for glory.

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