Nineteen to the Dozen – For the Love of the Game’s Week 19 in Review

By VAFA Media · September 3, 2025
Nineteen to the Dozen – For the Love of the Game’s Week 19 in Review

Jason Bennett, Paddy Grindlay & Matthew Donald dive into a thrilling Week 19 of VAFA action as the Premier sections wrapped their home & away seasons, while the Divisions got stuck into Finals & the Men’s Thirds crowned 6 new Premiers!

The boys catch up with:

  • Old Scotch coach MARK GNATT after his team came from the clouds over the final 3 weeks to sneak into fourth & keep their premiership defence alive… after one of our panelists declared it ‘officially over’ a few weeks back (and Gnatty keeps receipts)…
  • Old Carey coach LUKE GILES after his team also timed its run perfectly to rise up & snatch fourth spot in Premier B, setting up a cut-throat Semi Final against Caulfield Grammarians this weekend.

Plus we:

  • Wrap up the home & away season for all our Senior Men’s & Women’s sections;
  • Take a look at the packed finals schedule up & down the sections with our Divisional Guru BRAYDEN MAY;
  • Review all 6 completed Men’s Thirds Grand Finals & celebrate our winners;
  • Preview the 6 Grand Finals coming up this weekend
  • Predict our Semi Final winners for Premier Women’s, Premier B & Premier C Men’s

So much to enjoy in a bumper episode of FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME, thanks to MECWACARE!
