VAFA MILESTONES WEEK 20

Prahran full-back Jayden Williams plays his 150^th senior match in the Preliminary Final this weekend. Williams joined the Two Blues in 2014 and was a part of the Reserves Premiership that season, before later developing into a key pillar of the defence in the 2024 Seniors Premiership.

Congratulations to Old Scotch star Lexie McCulloch who reached 50 games! Known as a tough player you don’t want to come up against and a great club person, Lexie can do it all.
