I'm not attached to SKOBS in any way; I can guarantee that St Kev's College does NOT offer scholarships to budding footballers.

Just pay players mums $60k to work in the canteen instead

They dont need to do it, look at their teams, 95%+ ex BGS students, every training/game is like a out of school reunion, you'd be mad to wanna play anywhere else coming out of there.

Go and have a look at most VAFA clubs from old school sides, it is pretty much 70% + at a bare minimum of boys who went to that school.

Xavs and skobs almost exclusively school old boys...Collegians a bit of an exception with a larger number than most not from the school

Collegians have 70-80% of senior players who went to Wesley College. That's pretty strong if you ask me, especially considering the school's lack of footballing success in the past decade and a half.

Well, take out the mickey mouse covid 6 game season , xavs haven't won the APS for over 22 years, so they hardly have had much success and skevs haven't won for over a decade. Both of those teams manage to play with almost exclusively old boys. Wesley does have 1750 boys remember.

Actually no it is an earth shattering story about reducing the season by two weeks (removing a bye) in Premier Grades

The OB flag this year and the SKOB flag in 22 stand out as the purest form of VAFA footy.

Remember OX’s best player is an outsider.

I have to laugh at these sort of comments.

It has been pretty well known for years that whilst Xavier and St Kevin's field 5 or 6 football sides playing across year 11 and 12 in the APS, Wesley barely musters up three sides at this level.

If you'd bothered to read my post in the 2025 Premier A section, you'd realise that it has been a monumental effort that has seen Collegians stay relevant in A grade for so long.

Meanwhile, on 2026 VAFA premier section news, I am surprised that there aren't more clubs announcing player signings! Surely Old Xavs have a couple tucked away ready to announce.

OXWAFL have made two key signings but are withholding announcement until 2026.

No need to tell the world, OXWAFL have a habit of stealing other clubs’ recruits!
Having said that, Orazio Fantasia playing with Blues.

laugh at my comments? Its a fact Wesley has more boys at the school that Xavier and boht xavs and skob have had limited, if any, success at school level for some time.

given the curriculum and general history of the schools, Wesley being alternative compared to Xavier and St Kevins, the number of boys is not a good indication of why they aren't as good Andoman/Briza.
