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]

In addition to the men's competition, the newly-formed VAFA Women's (VAFAW) competition held its inaugural season in 2017.[4][5]
Background
editAccounting 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
edit2017 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
editIn 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]
Yarra Valley Old Boys was renamed to Yarra Old Grammarians to reflect its ties with Yarra Valley Grammar.[21]

Ladder
editIn round 1, the match between Beaumaris and Old Melburnians was abandoned due to lightning with 16 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.[26] 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.[27] In both cases, the VAFA split the premiership points and the final scores stood for percentage purposes.[28][29]
