The VAFA humiliated the West Australian amateurs at Subiaco on Sunday with a 173-point thrashing. Former AFL players dominated, with ex-Collingwood defender Carl Steinfort and former Sydney Swans wingman John Stevens damaging. Former Geelong wingman Paul Corrigan and Old Salesians forward Luke Hawkins were the best of the Victorians, Hawkins providing a highlight when he nailed a goal from 55m out moments before the halftime siren. VAFA general manager Brett Connell said the Victorians’ skill and fitness were never challenged by the Westerners. “There wasn’t one VAFA player who didn’t play a brilliant game. When they (the WAAFA players) got the ball they moved it well, but they just didn’t have it much,” he said. By SHANNON McRAE 2003 Senior Representative Match – VAFA v WAAFL 6 – T. Harvey nil
