For the Love of the Game’s Week 18 Review

By VAFA Media · August 27, 2025
For the Love of the Game’s Week 18 Review

Jason Bennett, Paddy Grindlay & Matthew Donald unpack a hectic Week 18 of VAFA action as the Premier sections head towards the final round, the Divisions close out the home & away season and the Thirds confirm their Grand Final line-ups.

The boys catch up with:

  • The VAFA’s first centurion of 2025 – Richmond Central’s JAKE DILLON – after he kicked his 100th goal on the weekend.
  • Oakleigh coach CHRIS WORNER after the Krushers bounced back from relegation in 2024 to turn things around & storm home to sneak into the finals in thrilling fashion.
  • Therry Penola legend JARROD EGGLESTONE, who has hung up the boots (for now) after a stellar 18-year senior career.

Plus, our regular favourites:

  • VAFA newshound BRAYDEN MAY with his weekly Divisional Wrap;
  • TON WATCH & BIG BAGS, thanks to Sherrin;
  • The WORLD FAMOUS TIPS – Paddy makes amends & restores his credibility as our Premier B expert.

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