The Jackas finished the season with a rush. They overcame Mazenod by two goals in Round 18 which was their sixth win in eight games. This resulted in them finishing equal with fourth-placed Tonners, but an inferior percentage meant they just missed out on finals action. They replicated their win-loss record and ladder position from 2014. Jake Lew won the league goalkicking with 69 goals.

The Fields have been relegated to Premier C, winning the wooden spoon with just two wins and losing 13 in a row to finish the season. Four Caulfield players represented the VAFA in 2015: Tom Green (U23), Nick Tonkin (U23), Tom Small (VAFA Seniors) and Jay Neratzoglou (VAFA Seniors). Keegan Stewart and Tom Small led the goalkicking with 20, while Tim Nixon had a great season and was in the best players in 15 of his 17 games. One bright spot for the club is that their Under 19s won the Section 2 Grand Final against Parkdale.

T
he Roys finished their season with a 15 point loss to Old Melburnians. They got off to a sluggish start, losing five of their first six games, then recovered somewhat to win three in a row. The Roys spent the latter part of the season around the middle of the ladder and just couldn’t get any consistency. Their sixth place finish meant they improved two games and two ladder positions on 2014. Rory Angiollela and Daniel Bisetto both represented the VAFA during the year, while Corbin Stevic (38 goals) and Bisetto (23) were their leading goalkickers.

The Rovers were promoted from Premier C and spent most of the season hanging around just outside the top four, never quite managing to bridge the gap. They suffered a disappointing second half of the season, finishing with four losses in a row and eight of their last 10, perhaps a consequence of having to use 56 players during the season, more than any other Premier B team. Adam McNeil (Prem B-Div 4) and Daniel Corp (Prem B-Div 4) represented the VAFA during the season and their leading goalkickers were Daniel Corp (32), Matthew Robbins (28) and Ed Turner (22). Captain Leigh Fletcher and Richard Atkins also had very consistent seasons.

The Nodders season finished in heartbreaking fashion. Needing to beat Ajax to avoid relegation, they led by two goals at the final change but were overrun by a five goal to one Jackas avalanche. Their loss, combined with Parkdale’s win against Hampton meant that Mazenod found themselves relegated by just three percent. During the season they lost eight in a row, including two defeats to St Kevins by 100+ points. The highlight was probably their five point win over Old Melburnians in Round 17. Jace Kelly (Prem B-Div 4) and Josh Cowan (U23) represented the VAFA and Ben Phibbs also had a great season, leading the Nodders goalkicking with 29 goals. He was joined by Josh Cowan on 22.

Following Old Brighton’s progress during the season was like riding a rollercoaster! They were the team to beat early on, spending the first four weeks on top. They proceeded to lose four out of five, won three in a row, then the last six or seven weeks were win-loss-win-loss, finishing with 4-point and 97-point losses against the top two teams Injuries decimated the Tonners season, but despite this they spent the whole season in the top four. They limped into the finals with two straight losses and proceeded to get dumped by eventual Grand Finalists Old Melburnians. Before their 97 point loss to St Kevins in Round 18, their biggest loss for the season had been six goals, and average loss had been 15 points.

The Vultures survived their first season back in Premier B after being promoted, but only just. They were unable to gain any real momentum during the season; their wins were spread out, interrupting little streaks of losses. The Vultures managed to come good just at the right time; their Round 18 win against Hampton was their highest score (19 goals) and greatest winning margin (41 points) of the season. Daniel Moloney (U19) and Tom Redmond (Prem B-Div 4) represented the VAFA during the year. Charlie Dillon had an outstanding season and was the Vultures leading goalscorer with 26, while Nathan Papatsanis had 22 and Tim Boland kicked 19.
