For the Love of the Game’s Week 9 in Review

By VAFA Media · June 17, 2026
For the Love of the Game’s Week 9 in Review

Jason Bennett, Matthew Donald & Hugo Higginbotham return with a giant DOUBLE-EPISODE of For the Love of the Game:

  • Big V Women’s coach TOM PURCELL joins us for a look back at the team’s triumph in Adelaide. He reveals what the entire experience meant to him & his key takeaways from an unforgettable weekend.
  • Big V Premier B-Division 3 coach JARROD GIESCHEN calls in to chat about his program, which kicks off this week, building up to the July 11 clash with Goulburn Valley League. What did he look for in players? What style of footy is he planning to play? What does it mean to his legendary father, Jeff, who will be joining him as an Assistant Coach?
  • The Big V Under 19 squad has been announced, and our regular Holmesglen Under 19 Premier expert LACHIE MOIR joins us to talk through the squad & review another action-packed Round 8 of Under 19 action.

Plus, as always:

  • ALL the SCORES, LADDERS & ANALYSIS from EVERY senior men’s & women’s section;
  • TON WATCH & BIG BAGS – thanks to Sherrin. We have a TIE at the top of the Ton Watch leaderboard!
  • Dylan ‘CENCH FOOTY’ Humphries joins us with his CENCH WATCH & CENCHY SHOUTOUTS – who deserves a special call-out from the great man this week?!
  • TIPS – Brayden still has Matty covered. Is this the week ‘The Donald’ makes his move? Cenchy holds a narrow lead over Lachie in the race for the Under 19 tips.

All that and so much more on a bursting-at-the-seams double-episode of FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME!
