The 2017 VAFA season was the 117th season of the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA), the largest senior community Australian rules football competition in Victoria. [1] The season began on 13 April and concluded on 24 September, with 69 teams participating across seven divisions under a promotion and relegation system. [2] [3]

Contents

In addition to the men's competition, the newly-formed VAFA Women's (VAFAW) competition held its inaugural season in 2017. [4] [5]

Background

Accounting firm William Buck signed a three-year sponsorship deal extension with the VAFA, which included continuing the naming rights for the "William Buck Premier Division". [6]

125-year anniversary

2017 marked 125 years since the VAFA was founded in 1892 as the Metropolitan Junior Football Association (MJFA). [7] The competition released a commemorative logo for the anniversary. [8] It was also the 125th year for the Collegians Football Club, the only club from the first MJFA season to still exist and compete in the competition. [9] [10]

In round 11, the VAFA held "Clubs Round", which recognised volunteers who had contributed to the success of their clubs over the past 25 years with specialised medallions. [11] [12] [13]

Association membership

In late 2016, the Monash Gryphons merged with Glen Eira to form the Glen Eira Gryphons. [14] The clubs had initially planned to amalgamate for the 2016 season, but ultimately remained separate entities. [15] [16]

The Chadstone Football Club left Division 4 and returned to the Club XVIII competition for 2017 after failing to win any senior matches during the 2016 season. [17] [18] Shortly before the start of the 2017 season, Box Hill North also withdrew from Division 4 as it was unable to field a seniors or reserves team. [19] [20]

In round 1, the match between Beaumaris and Old Melburnians was abandoned due to lightning with 16 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. [25] In round 9, Old Xaverians defender Jarryd Skene suffered a severe leg break in the match against Collegians, with the match abandoned 59 minutes into the fourth quarter after a lengthy delay. [26] In both cases, the VAFA split the premiership points and the final scores stood for percentage purposes. [27] [28]
