The 2022 VAFA season was the 121st season of the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA), the largest senior community Australian rules football competition in Victoria.[1] The season began on 2 April and concluded on 23 September, with 66 teams participating across seven divisions under a promotion and relegation system.[2][3]

This was the first VAFA season since 2019 where finals series were held and premiers awarded, following the cancellation of the 2020 season and the curtailing of the 2021 season due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.[4][5]

Background

[edit]

KommunityTV, News Corp Australia's live-streaming platform, began a trial arrangement with the VAFA to broadcast finals matches in 2022.[6][7]

  • Heavy rain during the final quarter of the Premier B reserves grand final, which was the curtain-raiser to the senior grand final, resulted in appalling muddy ground conditions, resulting in a difficult and low scoring match.[20]
  • Old Haileybury's score of 2.10 (22) was the second-lowest score in the club's history, almost breaking its record of 2.8 (20) against Old Xaverians in 1998.[20][32]
