Amateur Footballer Record – Week 3
Read the week three edition of The Amateur Footballer as we review round two and preview the upcoming weekend of the 2025 VAFA season! Team lists can be accessed in
The 2025 VAFA Division 1 Men’s fixture has been released, and it promises to be an action-packed season!
Elsternwick and Brunswick are making the step up from Division 2, with the Wicks kicking off their campaign for a premiership hat-trick with an opening-round visit to Ormond in what will be their first Div 1 game in 38 years.
Brunswick, who last won the Division 1 flag in 2012, will begin their next chapter by hosting Therry Penola in Round 1 on Saturday April 5.
Monash Blues and Oakleigh are the two teams arriving from Premier C – the Blues, who won the Div 1 title in 2003, will visit Old Peninsula first up, while the Krushers, who won the Div 1 flag in 2007, will visit the Preston Bullants.
2024 Division 1 finalists Ormond and UHS-VU will reignite their rivalry at E.E.Gunn Reserve in Round 3 and after their thrilling 5-point First Semi Final clash last year (that saw the Monders eliminated), it promises to be another must-see affair.
There will be three single-week bye rounds throughout the season – between Rounds 2-3, 8-9 (King’s Birthday) and 12-13 (Big V rep weekend).
The final round of the home & away season will take place on Saturday August 23, followed by a three-week Finals campaign culminating with Grand Final Day on the weekend of September 13-14.
