Paul Newton
Paul has had a close connection with the VAFA community over many years.
Paul’s passion of the VAFA stems from a combination of his playing days at Collegians, followed by a 12-year term at Old Carey where his children played, with nine years as President. Beyond that, Paul has previously spent 18 months on the VAFA Board during 2018-2019 before stepping down, having a sea change and serving as the Commercial Manager for the Old Xavierians.
“The VAFA is much greater than football, its community, lifelong friends and providing young adults with a safe and caring environment to grow in confidence. Football is the conduit for the wonderful lifelong opportunities the VAFA provides.
I look forward to working with my fellow Board members and reconnecting with the clubs. The current football landscape is challenging, and I have the energy to meet its demand head on,” Paul said.
