STATE OF EXCITEMENT

The countdown is on as South Australia prepares to put our State pride on the line again and tackle old foe Western Australia.

The Croweaters, coached by Norwood premiership mentor Jade Rawlings, will face WA at Adelaide Oval in the Kia State game on Friday, May 19 at 3.10pm. And the latest battle for the Haydn Bunton Junior Cup looks certain to be another hard-fought encounter after SA beat WA by four points at Optus Stadium last May. Showing how intense the rivalry is between these States, the win edged SA ahead of the Sandgropers in all-time head-tohead clashes 49-48.

SA has a squad that’s up to the challenge. “It’s strong,” Rawlings said. It’s also in-form. Unbeaten Sturt and high-flying Glenelg and North Adelaide dominate representation in the SANFL West End State squad, boasting 21 of the 32 players between them. All three clubs had seven players in the squad.

The unbeaten Double Blues are well represented by powerhouse midfielders Tom Lewis and Patrick Wilson, speedy wingman Martin Frederick, defenders Will Coomblas, Connor McFadyen and last year’s Fos Williams Medallist Casey Voss and damaging small forward Josh Hone.

Last year’s State captain, Liam McBean, is among the Glenelg players selected, together with leading goalkicker Lachie Hosie, hard-running Matt Allen and Tigers captain Max Proud. Midfielder Brett Turner, small defender Darcy Bailey and ruckman Cam McGree all have an opportunity to make their State debut.

Bob Quinn Medallist Noah Casalini headlines the Roosters’ inclusions, with key members of last year’s victorious outfit Harrison Wigg and Keenan Ramsey strong chances to return. Other North inclusions are Frank Szekely, Harrison Magor, Cameron Craig and Mitch Harvey.

All eight standalone SANFL clubs

have at least one player in the squad. Norwood’s fall from grace this season resulted in only one Redleg being named – last year’s Jack Oatey Medallist Harry Boyd.

South Adelaide Magarey Medallist Bryce Gibbs was ruled out with a broken thumb, while North’s Campbell Combe was unavailable.

Rawlings said he was delighted with the talent and depth of the squad.

“We’ve had a lot of eyeballs on all games right through the trial period onwards and we’ll continue to give everyone the best opportunity to be selected in Round 6 this weekend,” he said. “It’s pretty obvious looking at the quality of players in the squad it’s going to be really tough to narrow it down to a final 23.”

Rawlings will have able assistants in North coach Jacob Surjan and Glenelg boss Darren Reeves, while Central coach Paul Thomas will don the fluros as team runner. It shows how united everyone is to claim another big State scalp.

MATCH PREVIEWS

EAGLES V CENTRAL Has the balance of power between these powers of the early 2000s shifted again? At the start of the 2000s the Bulldogs were on a roll, claiming their first flag, then going back-to-back with successive grand final wins against the Eagles. These sides met in five premiership deciders between 2000-06, Central winning four of them. Lately it’s been Woodville-West Torrens holding the upperhand, claiming back-to-back flags in 2020-21 and winning seven of its most recent 10 clashes against the Bulldogs. But one of those Central wins came the last time these sides faced off, in Round 11 last season, also at Woodville, Paul Thomas’s Dogs winning by 34 points. And, on their way up with three wins from five games this year, you’d have to say they deserve to be favourites to do it again. While we’re still waiting to find out where exactly the Eagles fit into the scheme of things after a surprising four successive losses, Central, having already beaten North and Adelaide at home, did what it needed to do to win “ugly” by 11 points against fast-finishing West. Thommo, breathing a sigh of relief his 41st birthday hadn’t been wrecked by the party poopers from 4

sanfl.com.au

Richmond, liked what he saw for three quarters. The Dogs kicked the first four goals of the game, including a memorable one to club first-gamer Anzac Lochowiak, who gathered a loose ball, slipped but regained his composure to snap truly. There was plenty to like about big Billy McCormack’s game as he racked up 20 touches, 26 hit-outs and two goals. The Dogs are starting to believe but Eagles coach Jade Sheedy admits it’s something his players are lacking right now.

“The only way is to work hard and grind your way out and all do it together,” he said. If it doesn’t start right now, the balance of power will continue to shift back to the Bulldogs.

How strong these sides are is borne out by the fact 14 of the 32 State squad members come from them.

The Tigers are looking the real deal after four successive wins, last week sweeping aside South at Noarlunga by 41 points to win the Carey-Darley Cup. Smooth-moving Matt Allen won the John Schneebichler Medal as best-afield, while SANFL leading goalkicker Lachie Hosie put the icing on the cake with four final-quarter goals.

The club’s overhauled, stingy defending under new coach Darren Reeves is as good as there is in the league – the Tigers and Crows are conceding just 56 points per game.

While Glenelg’s defending is all over the ground, skipper Max Proud, Toby Pink and Darcy Bailey continue to lead from the back. North, battling a long injury list, was set back by a 47-point loss to the Crows but you know a side with as much talent as this one, coming up against such a bitter rival, will be right in this one.

GLENELG V NORTH

NORWOOD V WEST

It’s 50 years since these clubs clashed in one of the most celebrated footy games of all time.

Tigers fans will be revelling in it and Roosters supporters won’t know where to look as Glenelg recalls its famous 1973 grand final win and these premiership heroes will be at the Bay to witness the latest instalment of this great rivalry. And it’s again a greatly anticipated match-up with third-placed Glenelg and fifth-ranked North chasing highly-coveted top-three spots.

Last year’s premier against last season’s wooden spooner … a couple of months ago you might have predicted the Legs in a canter.

But, wait a sec. West beat Norwood by a point in their last clash in the final minor round of 2022. The Redlegs stunningly turned it around in the finals to snatch an unforgettable flag – but they have not won a game since. The Bloods, on the other hand, are on their way up, breaking through for an impressive win against South in

Round 3. Now they have one thing to sort out. They arrived late at Loxton, and also at Elizabeth, over the past two weeks, so hopefully they’ll be on time after an even longer trek to Port Lincoln. They conceded eight of the first nine goals against Port and the first four against Central but fought back hard to be in both games late.

Improving his side’s fitness was one of new coach Adam Hartlett’s first aims and they are finishing full of running – they have won just one first quarter this season but have a 4-1 record in last quarters. Now they need to go for it and take risks from the start. Among the good news stories at Westies is rebounding left-footer Callum Park.

The former Tiger continues to step up and this season he’s leading the SANFL for disposals (146 after five rounds, averaging 29), kicks (averaging 22) and marks (nine).

Norwood mentor Jade Rawlings is looking for a four-quarter effort as well, after a second-term lapse was costly in a fighting seven-point loss against Port. Ethiopian-born Goy Lok was a shining light, kicking 3.2. “Every time the ball was in his area something good was happening,” Rawlings said. “He plays with a lot of verve and spirit and it was a good debut for him.”

Now for his entire line-up to play like that – and for a full game.

team in the league and Tom Lewis (69) and Patrick Wilson (61) are the top two tacklers. The Blues seem to have all bases covered. “Last year we were in the mix a few times and teams started to talk about us. Now we have a different mentality… we take on being the hunted, but we also talk about us hunting as well,’’ Mattner said. They’ll need to do all that against the Crows, who have all the attributes to become SANFL premiers for the first time. They were so impressive in dismantling North, which beat them in last year’s second semi-final, coach Mick Godden felt, “in some ways they just play and I can sit back and watch’’. He clearly liked what he saw as they kicked away with a withering 5.6 to 0.1 in the second quarter. Defender Andrew McPherson rose to whatever challenges came his way with 29 possessions and 12 marks, while ruckman Kieran Strachan always puts his hand up. Hands up who reckons this clash will be a ripper.

PORT V SOUTH These sides have been heading in different directions, Port up from ninth to sixth over the past two rounds and South slipping from third to seventh over the past three.

Footy is a game of momentum and it’s probably a season of momentum as well – and it’s

building at Alberton. At Noarlunga, the Panthers needed to make more of the momentum they had in the third quarter of a big game against Glenelg. The wind was tricky but no side could have a better idea of conditions at the ground than South, whose kicking went east and west as it peppered the goals for six successive behinds, so costly as the Tigers bagged 6.1 in the final term. The Panthers played with improved spark compared with the previous couple of weeks, despite the loss of Magarey Medallist Bryce Gibbs with a broken thumb and a shoulder concern for star midfielder Mitch O’Neill. But they now tackle a side that’s enjoying that winning feeling. Port coach Tyson Goldsack said his players were “ecstatic” after answering every challenge to overcome Norwood. Having beaten West for the Russell Ebert Trophy the week before, Port snared successive SANFL wins for the first time since the last two rounds of 2021. And they did it the hard way, the Redlegs having edged five points in front in the last quarter.

But Tom Scully grabbed an againstthe-odds pack mark and coolly goaled, then Nick Moore crumbed the ball and snapped truly and Ollie Lord held a strong mark and sealed the deal. Now, can Port keep heading in the same direction?

STURT V ADELAIDE A top-of-the-table shootout between SANFL’s most potent attacking forces is a mouthwatering prospect. It’s one versus two, with the Double Blues’ unbeaten record facing its toughest test so far against the Crows, who have won four out of five. Marty Mattner’s line-up is a renowned defensive force and that will be stretched by Adelaide, which is averaging 104 points per game. The Blues, unbeaten after five rounds for the first time since 1978, are kicking 89 per game and that figure would have been quite a bit higher had they kicked straight in overpowering the Eagles last week with 12.15. Sturt is the top-ranked clearance-winning and tackling

WHY WE LOVE SANFL

BY STEVE BARRETT

At the risk of stating the bleeding obvious, SANFL is the best footy league in the land.

Sure, the AFL is bigger than the SANFL – immeasurably bigger in every way. But here are seven reasons why SANFL fans think our competition reigns supreme.

1. FANS ON THE OVAL When that second siren sounds, the field of play is yours. Fans old and young have access to participate in some ‘kick and catch’ within the 50m arcs of all suburban grounds in quarter and half-time breaks and postmatch. Just bring a footy and go nuts!

And if running around chasing an oval-shaped ball isn’t your thing, spectators – if inclined and in possession of powerful hearing abilities – are welcome to hover near their team at quarter-time and three-quarter-time breaks to listen to the coach’s address.

Port Adelaide and Norwood were at it again at Alberton Oval last Saturday and it was another hard-fought affair, the Magpies edging out their long-time rival by seven points. Photo: Cory Sutton

2. OUT OF BOUNDS RULE SANFL signed off on one significant rule

change before 2016 which universally has been regarded as a hands-down winner. Now in its eighth season, the last possession out-of-bounds rule sees umpires award a free kick against the last player to dispose of the ball before it crosses the boundary line. For players, umpires and fans alike, any confusion around the insufficient intent interpretation – which happens in every single game in other leagues – has been cleared up in the SANFL. The regulation has succeeded in limiting congestion and speeding up the game.

3. 25-METRE PENALTY SANFL’s other big advantage when it comes to the rulebook is the severity of the penalty applied by umpires following a free kick or paid mark.

The 50m penalty for any infraction, no matter how big or small, is one of the harshest punishments in sport. It can be particularly unpalatable when applied by an umpire erroneously before resulting directly in an unjust matchwinning/ turning goal. By imposing a less draconian 25m penalty, the SANFL

has the balance right. We’re not talking about players king-hitting an unsuspecting opponent or petulantly throwing their mouthguard at an umpire.

But when it comes to basic infractions like inadvertently entering the protected zone or a minor interchange infringement, the SANFL is better at making the punishment fit the crime.

4. REAL RIVALRIES Sure, there are some rivalries in other leagues that have stood the test of time – Collingwood v Carlton springs straight to mind.

And the antipathy felt in AdelaidePort Adelaide Showdowns and West Coast-Fremantle derbies genuinely divides SA and WA twice a year.

But those are relatively new... there was no such thing as Crows-Power hatred before 1997.

Port and Norwood share the greatest rivalry in Australian football history.

Spanning three separate centuries, the clubs were destined to be arch enemies, through demography and geography, the Magpies from the wharfy, working-class west and the Redlegs from the leafy, affluent east.

Sturt has also forged long-standing rivalries with Port – look up Jack Oatey and Fos Williams if unsure why – and neighbouring Norwood (1978... say no more). West Adelaide and the Magpies have been at loggerheads since the 1950s, while Glenelg’s on-field and offfield rivalry with Port might be the spiciest of them all. The Tigers’ clashes with North Adelaide, prime-time since 1973, peaked in the ’80s, while Central District and Woodville-West Torrens have developed an intense rivalry since 2000.

5. LOTS OF DIFFERENT, ICONIC HOMES South Australian AFL fans are lucky Adelaide Oval, even through extensive redevelopment, has retained its quaint, picturesque charm. But with venues like the MCG, Marvel Stadium, Optus Stadium and the Gabba, there is a sameness about them, regardless of whether they are packed out.

Gone are the days of ‘educational’ visits to haunts like Victoria Park, Windy Hill, Whitten Oval and Moorabbin. The suburban feel that no longer exists in the AFL is alive and well in the SANFL. Every ground has a different feel, its own quirk.

Elizabeth Oval (X Convenience Oval) is the longest and largest, Noarlunga Oval (Flinders University Stadium) the widest. Richmond Oval (Hisense Stadium), Woodville Oval (Maughan Thiem Kia Oval), Alberton Oval and Prospect Oval all come in a bit smaller than the ‘Big Two’. Glenelg Oval (Stratarama Stadium) and Unley Oval (Wigan Oval) are the shortest grounds from end-to-end, Norwood Oval (Coopers Stadium) the skinniest.

Some clubs have state-of-the-art floodlights sufficient for night footy, while the Panthers have the famous car-park viewing. From Glenelg’s Snouts Louts to North’s Grog Squad to Norwood’s Cooper’s Hill to Central’s British-based Bulldog Army, fans catch an eyeopening glimpse of something a bit different at each ground, while many of the venues have enchanting members’ wing views to the scenic Adelaide Hills.

6. HISTORY Despite claims to the contrary, SANFL is the longest-surviving

football league of any code in Australia. Formed on 30 April 1877, the SANFL pre-dates the VFA by 18 days. It was even formed 11 years before the English Football League!

And those who suggest Ron Barassi invented the art of attacking handball in the second half of the 1970 VFL grand final should know master coach Jack Oatey did the same thing four years earlier when Sturt shook its Magpie monkey in the ’66 SANFL decider. And who perfected the checkside punt?

Overlapping point four (Real Rivalries), it’s worth mentioning Port and Norwood have gone head-to-head more times than Collingwood and Carlton. SANFL’s premier clubs have also locked horns in 15 grand finals – that’s more than Collingwood-Carlton and Carlton-Essendon combined.

7. TRADITION Speaking of great traditions that go a long way back, SANFL’s Anzac Day grand final re-match not only became a regular event from the mid-1950s – predating the AFL’s Essendon-Collingwood matches by four decades – it rewards the two best teams from the previous year, giving all sides the chance to be a part of the special day.

Then there’s the West End chimney, with the premier’s colours on top and the runner-up just below, that’s been a wonderful tradition since 1954. Our team placings have always rightly shown our sides kicking up – ahead – not down, or backwards. And at least our premiership table’s percentages actually are percentages!

Blues supporters huddle around Sturt’s three-quarter-time huddle to listen to what coach Martin Mattner has to say.

BIG GINGER KICK

SMOOTH SPICED RUM NEW

ONE IN A MILLION

BY PETER ARGENT

She kicked a goal that has staggeringly been viewed more than a million times, so Sturt’s India Rasheed clearly is a crowd pleaser.

India may just be 16 and in her second year in SANFLW ranks but she plays with a grace and athleticism that excites the fans and points to a huge future. Her stunning kick from the boundary line in the Blues’ narrow grand final loss to North Adelaide at The Parade last season won India the SANFLW Goal of the Year award.

Her goal set social media alight, watched more than 1.2 million times on Instagram alone. “Most probably 500,000 of them were dad and another 500,000 from mum,” India laughed. India’s dad Roger also was a Sturt league footballer but is better known in the tennis world.

“I’m an only child, so I spent a lot of time either kicking the footy with dad or hitting a tennis ball on our court at home with him, although I don’t regard myself as a good tennis player,” India said. “While I love having a hit of tennis with dad, footy has always been my first passion. I started in U9s at Payneham, before going across to the Glenunga Rams because of their girls’ program.

“Then I came across to Sturt, debuting in the league side just after my 15th birthday. I reckon I’ve already cleaned dad up when it comes to league games at Sturt.

But it’s fair to say I most probably get my athleticism from dad.” Roger played five league games for Sturt in 1993, while India is up to 15 for the Blues.

Along with playing in the successful SA under-18 program last season, India won Sturt’s best emerging talent award. In SA’s under-18 win against WA in Perth last month, Rasheed (1.3) teamed up with another young gun Lauren Young (3.2) as a two-pronged attack, having nine scoring shots between them. She can still play in the

under-18 national championships in 2024. “I usually pride myself on my kicking but occasionally you have one of those days,” said Rasheed, who is in Year 11 at Pembroke College.

“Both dad and mum (Jo, nee Altman) have been mentors and role models along the way. At the club, Maya Rigter and Amy BrooksBirve are a couple of players I look up to and love their leadership.

“My family has strong connections with Port Adelaide and my aunty Hitaf worked there in the media department. One of my uncles (through marriage) is former Collingwood premiership player Tyson Goldsack, who is coach of Port Adelaide Magpies in the SANFL.” Roger Rasheed is a former tennis player, coach and commentator with the Seven Network for a dozen

years. He was a footballer first, then became the youngest player to qualify for an Australian Open at just 16 in 1985. Rasheed’s feat was eclipsed by SA’s Lleyton Hewitt, who he successfully coached for five years. Hewitt’s father Glynn, uncle Darryl and grandfather Max all were SANFL league football stars.

After winning four titles on the ATP Challenger Tour in 1992, Rasheed, despite back issues, returned to SANFL in 1993, making his league debut in the Foundation Cup. India, a left-footer who plays tennis right-handed, booted a career-high three goals against Central District in Round 8. She is keen to develop into a forward who pushes through the midfield and has a consistent impact in both areas. She’s already made quite an impact – a million times over. sanfl.com.au

HISTOR

Adelaide Football Club, 1886 premiers.

EARLY SA FOOTY TEAMS

BY MARK GILBERT AND NEIL J SMITH

The SANFL has a wonderful history, going back to its establishment as the South Australian Football Association in April 1877. It’s the oldest surviving football league of any code in Australia. And there were some interesting and notoften-remembered clubs in the early days.

Adelaide Adelaide Football Club – no relation to the Crows – was formed in 1860, initially only playing games among themselves. The first time Adelaide played against another club was when it tackled Modbury in 1862.

Disbanding in 1873, it reformed in 1876 and in the following year joined the SAFA in its inaugural season. While the club had its ups and downs, it won the 1886 premiership, finishing above South Adelaide, Norwood and Port Adelaide. ‘Old Adelaide’ was dissolved in 1893 following several disappointing seasons.

Bankers The Bankers club was formed in early 1877, becoming an inaugural member of the SAFA. Unfortunately, the team lacked playing talent and did not win a game for the season, only ‘banking’ four goals while conceding 31. It was the team’s only season.

Gawler Gawler Football Club was a foundation member of the SAFA in 1877 but was only given junior status. It was not until 1887 that Gawler was given senior status.

The ‘orange and blacks’ 10

sanfl.com.au

participated for four seasons without great success before leaving the SAFA to form their own association.

Hotham Hotham Football Club is believed to have been formed in 1881.

Six years later the club became a senior member of the SAFA and finished fifth in that first season.

In 1888 it combined with local junior club Ariel and competed under the name North Adelaide (unrelated to the current North Adelaide). That year was its last in the competition as it merged with Adelaide.

Kensington Formed in the early 1870s, Kensington joined SAFA in the inaugural season of 1877. Its home ground was Kensington Oval. While never finishing higher than fifth in five seasons in the Association, the scarlet and whites were well supported, however they only managed four games in their final season of 1881.

Royal Park Royal Park Football Club was founded in 1880. Donning blue and white with an orange hoop it joined SAFA for the 1882 season. But it struggled from the start, losing all four games, forfeiting one due to lack of players and then the rest of the season’s matches after it dropped out of the competition.

South Park South Park joined the first SAFA season. Although it never finished above third on the ladder it was known as a hard team to beat and

put up a good showing against a visiting Carlton team in 1881.

Disbanding at the end of 1884 a number of the club’s better players moved to South Adelaide.

Victorian Victorian played its home matches at Montefiore Hill. Despite its name the side was not made up of expatriates from across the border.

The club played in the SAFA from its inaugural year of 1877, when it finished runner-up to South Adelaide. In 1883 a name change to North Adelaide (unrelated to the current North Adelaide Football Club) was made to better reflect its location. The club disbanded in 1884.

West Adelaide West Adelaide, resplendent in red, white and blue, is unrelated to the current West Adelaide Football Club.

‘The Butchers’, as they were colloquially known due to some of their players being abattoir workers, only played in only one SAFA season – 1887 – and finished last.

Woodville Originally known as Port Suburban Football Club, it changed its name to Woodville in 1870. Woodville Football Club (no relation to the later SANFL club) was one of SAFA’s founding clubs. Winning five of its 16 matches, two games were forfeited due to lack of players.

The club dissolved at the end of the season due to internal disputes, a number of its leading players joining the newly-formed Norwood Football Club.

The Electrifying 80s

MAGNIFICENT SEVENS

BY DION HAYMAN

Photo: The Football Budget back in 1988 with Central’s seven-goal stars Robert Handley, Rudi Mandemaker, Derek Kickett and Gavin Chaplin.

Rudi Mandemaker, Derek Kickett, Gavin Chaplin and Robert Handley kicked themselves into the record books on a dark day for West Torrens at Elizabeth in 1988.

All four booted seven goals against a battered and bruised Eagles side that could muster just 14 fit men by the finish. The record-breaking quartet was captured for posterity after the game – the photograph still takes pride of place in Handley’s home.

“It was a magic day,” the man they call ‘Chopper’ recalled of the Dogs pummelling the Eagles 35.23 (233) to 4.11 (35) by a staggering 198 points. “There’s never been four blokes kick seven goals in topranked footy – it was a record at the time and it still is. The crowd was abuzz. It was a pretty hot day.

Everything we seemed to hit, it just all fell into place. Mis-kicks were going to our blokes, it just all worked really, really well.”

Handley, who roamed centre halfforward that day, was playing just his third game for the Bulldogs after arriving from Hawthorn.

Kickett, from Claremont, and Chaplin (West Perth) were playing only their fourth matches for the club. It was also just the fourth game in charge for Neil Kerley at his fifth club.

Kerls loved attacking footy and by the day’s end had coached the sides that had kicked three of the top five scores in the competition. By the end of the year, that would be four of the top six after Central repeated the dose dumping 35.18 at home against South Adelaide – Kickett this time going solo with another seven goals.

Central’s winning margin was the SANFL’s second-biggest ever and its score the fifth highest. But of course, the record books don’t tell the full story.

Bizarrely, Torrens made the trip north two rungs above Central on the ladder, with both clubs having won two of their first three games.

But the Eagles took an injury depleted side to Elizabeth and began losing men inside the first few minutes when Scott Morphett was stretchered from the ground

with concussion. The Eagles’ bench soon resembled something from an episode of M*A*S*H minus the laughs. Dale Eichner joined Morphett in spending the night concussed in hospital while Kevin Taylor, Dominic Fotia, Bob Enright and Michael Werner were also wounded as hapless Torrens coach Paul Weston was forced to leave injured players on the ground to make up the numbers. But the Bulldogs didn’t miss the chance to kick them while they were down.

“I tell the story that I went off at three-quarter-time (with seven goals) and didn’t play the last quarter just so those boys could catch up a bit,” Mandemaker said.

“I think my knee was a bit sore so I went off. I probably could have kicked 10 or 12 but trying to get the ball off Chopper (Handley), Chaplin and Kickett was impossible, you know playing full forward.” Chaplin, who now coaches South Gawler, adorned his seven goals that day with 26 kicks and 22 handballs.

“He always used to get into Gilbert (McAdam) and me that we always used to kick the ball over his head,” Chaplin remembered.

The team stats saw Central compile 468 possessions, Torrens just 240.

The enormous win catapulted the Bulldogs to the top of the ladder on the back of a percentage boost of 13. “We had a pretty good team in those years,” Mandemaker said.

“Probably good players but not a great team.”

Kickett was one of them, making quite an impact with 47 goals from 25 games. “I had a good offer to stay at Claremont,” Kickett recalled.

“The only reason I did come over is that it was my dream to play AFL footy.” That dream was realised when he was drafted by North Melbourne.

Despite the magnitude of the win, a stoic Kerley was rightly not getting carried away with the numbers.

“Some days things go right for you,” he said. “Today was one of those days.” sanfl.com.au

TORRENS UNIVERSITY SANFL U18 WRAP

BY ZAC MILBANK

The strong presence of emerging forward Pat Weckert propelled Woodville-West Torrens to a powerful 73-point win against Sturt in Round 7 of the Torrens University SANFL Under-18s.

Weckert, who has played three league games this season, booted four goals from 17 disposals and 11 marks as the Eagles kicked 10.10 to 1.3 after half-time to charge away with the game at Wigan Oval. Midfielders Kade Herbert (25 disposals), Callum Fairall (24) and Brody Mair (20) continually drove the Eagles forward.

Skipper George Pope flew the flag for Sturt with 19 disposals, 14 tackles and two goals and he received solid support from Brodie Maloney and Declan Gladigau.

Defensively-strong Norwood held North Adelaide goalless for two quarters on its way to a 13-point win at Prospect Oval.

Keeping the Roosters to just three behinds in the second quarter and two in the fourth, the Redlegs conjured the victory despite having just 35 inside-50m entries.

Norwood’s Jacob Jones continued his rich vein of form with a game-high 34 disposals, eight clearances and seven tackles as team-mates Connor Butcher (25 disposals) and William Rowlands (22 disposals, two goals) also proved difficult for the Roosters to curtail.

Tom Stevens was a sizeable presence for North with 32 disposals and eight clearances, while Blake OudhoornBennier (26 possessions) and Henry Turner battled hard.

Exciting forward Jack Delean put on a show as South Adelaide hammered Glenelg by 121 points at Stratarama Stadium.

marks. But skipper Nicholas Schroder was rated his side’s best, while talented Phoenix Hargrave racked up 26 disposals and eight tackles. Glenelg’s Joe Chigwidden, son of club great Nick Chigwidden, drew high praise from his coaches, while Michael Smith and Noah Grzyb were lauded for attempting to stem South’s tide of goals.

Central District continued to make a statement, romping home to a 96-point win against West Adelaide at Hisense Stadium.

Sitting on top of the ladder with a 5-2 win-loss record, the Bulldogs were irresistible in the second half as they piled on 10.6 while restricting the Bloods to just three behinds. Rating highly among Central’s even spread of contributors were Jayden Matz (19 disposals), Nathan Johnson and Liam Fawcett, who booted six goals from 22 disposals. On a tough day at the office, West was well served by Charlie Haysman (33 disposals) and Sam Burbridge (24). sanfl.com.au
