For the Love of the Game’s Week 17, 2026 in Review

Jason Bennett, Matty Donald & Hugo Higginbotham talk all things VAFA football as they dive into all the results & analysis of EVERY SENIOR SECTION of the men’s & women’s competitions as finals come hurtling towards us!

In this jam-packed episode, the boys catch up with:

• Footy journalist & author TOBY PRIME, who has just released his first book: “Famous Flags – Great Local Grand Finals” & talk in depth about the legendary 2006 Premier C Grand Final that saw St Bede’s/Mentone Tigers (under first-year coach Luke Beveridge) come from 47 points down to defeat AJAX by a point.

• You can purchase Toby’s book at: [email protected]

• Our resident Holmesglen Under 19 Premier reporter LACHIE MOIR, who talks us through the fallout from Round 15.

• Our VAFA socials guru DYLAN ‘CENCH FOOTY’ HUMPHRIES, who tells us what and who has caught his eye around the VAFA this week.

Plus:

• BIG BAGS – 3 double-figure hauls this week!

• TON WATCH – Is James Stewart back on top? Who are the sharpshooters making a late charge up the leaderboard? Is the ton still on the table?

• TIPS – Cenchy nailed a perfect 5/5 & let Lachie know all about it!

All that, and plenty of laughs, FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME!
