There are three Central players inside the attacking 50m arc, including the competition’s leading goalkicker Katelyn T. BUETHKE (N), K. HARRIS [C] (S), K. POPE (NA) C Rosenzweig. Speedy goalsneaks Caitlin Wendland and Elaine Grigg were also rewarded for their consistency while G. SWAN (S), P. SCHOLZ (G), A. FALKENBERG [VC] (WWT) HB unheralded Georgia Madigan starts in defence with Bulldogs captain Shelby Smith returning to the line-up, this time on the interchange. Minor premier South has ruck G.

It’s hardly surprising Glenelg’s Matthew Allen has starred for SA against WA in the Croweaters’ wins in the past two seasons.

Because Allen has had quite a bit of experience representing the State – and playing in big wins. And not just in footy.

Allen had a bright future in cricket as he played State under12s, under-15s and under-17s. And he captained SA’s national title-winning under-17 side of 2014.

Allen, who booted the winning goal with a stunning, last-gasp shot on the run from 50 metres against Adelaide last week, helped sink the WAFL with 24 possessions in Perth last season and 16 more in this year’s great SA win at Adelaide Oval.

MATCH PREVIEWS

players will have some pretty good memories of Adelaide Oval. They will enjoy being back at the iconic ground on which they won grand finals in 2020 and ’21. A ground that could easily see the Crows on for a SANFL grand final for the first time – providing they start winning those close ones.

WEST V NORTH

EAGLES V ADELAIDE We all thought it would be a tight tussle for finals spots this season.

But who could have guessed just how close the competition would be? Incredibly, four of last week’s five games were won – and lost – by two points, three points, four points and five points. And one of those games could have ended in a draw, decided after the final siren.

There’s so much difference between a win and loss in these circumstances. Both these combatants were involved in games that were decided with goals deep into time-on of the last quarter. The Eagles won. The Crows lost. And now there is just a game between Adelaide in third and the Eagles in fourth place.

Ken Farmer Medallist Daniel Menzel was as cool as a cucumber as he 4

sanfl.com.au

threaded a long goal to give the Eagles a three-point win against Port Adelaide at Alberton, while Glenelg wingman Matt Allen’s stunning goal on the run from outside 50m deprived Adelaide of a win by the meagre margin of two points. There’s no question the Crows are up to their ears in the premiership fight but the close games have gone against them this year, losing to Central by four points, top side Sturt by 10 points – after a very late Blues goal – and second side Glenelg by two points.

They are still the highest-scoring side in the comp, averaging a morethan-healthy 90 points per game, and still have the best percentage (60.6). But this is bound to be a close one as well, the Eagles back in business, having knocked off Central, West and Port in the past three rounds. And plenty of their

The Bloods felt the pain of a lastgasp loss against unbeaten Sturt. It may be part of the learning curve for Adam Hartlett’s young side but it’s a pretty harsh lesson when you lead from the third minute of the first quarter until the 10-minutemark of the last and trail by just four points with the ball deep in your forward pocket when the final siren sounds. There’s a fine line between pleasure and pain but West supporters were full of pride and admiration for the way the Bloods fought tooth-and-nail right to the end, giving the top side a huge run for their money, although they were clearly disappointed with the result.

North fans were just plain disappointed. The Roosters were the only side to be beaten comfortably in Round 8, falling 27 points short of South at home.

Coach Jacob Surjan lamented, “South just dominated and their intensity was much greater than ours … they were so much more desperate”. But he was quickly looking ahead, knowing how quickly things can turn around and having faith in the ability and quality of his squad. “We have to get up again quickly. We have a short turnaround, so we need to get back on the horse again.” And it’s likely West will be looking forward to getting back on the horse. The Bloods are right back in the race this season, playing

hugely competitive footy. The most promising thing is, being competitive is not enough for them these days, so they will be desperate to close out the next close-run contest.

PORT V CENTRAL Here’s another match-up that could have looked different without the late twist of events in last week’s thrillers. If Port had made the most of its chances against the Eagles and Daniel Menzel hadn’t popped up with his long goal and if Norwood’s Connor McLean hadn’t missed his after-the-siren shot at goal against Central, the sixth-placed Magpies and fourth-placed Bulldogs would have switched places. That’s how tight it is. You could hardly begrudge Central of its five-point win against Norwood – it had lost to the top two sides Sturt by three points and Glenelg by nine points and last year Paul Thomas’s men had a 1-4 winloss record in games decided by a kick. Winning a close one is indicative of the direction Central is heading in. The footy club is making huge strides – the ground looks a picture, the women are in their first grand final and the reserves and juniors are all up and about. The league side is on track to end a fiveyear finals drought. If it is to do that, and look to push deep into finals, it needs to overcome tough tests like Port at Alberton.

And that will be tough. Port under first-year coach Tyson Goldsack is showing plenty. It came within a kick of making it four wins on the trot before being edged out by the Eagles.

To make matters worse, the Magpies had plenty of chances to have welland-truly sealed the win before Menzel took his shot. Incredibly, Port had more than double the Eagles’ forward-50 entries – 63-31. It makes the pain of a narrow loss all the worse. But it also shows how near the mark Port is.

10K crowd. It’s not like it hasn’t happened before in SANFL’s recent history. The Tigers and the Blues were playing for top spot on 28 June 2008 and a bumper crowd of 11,827 packed the Bay ground, creating an electric atmosphere in a fast and furious clash that went right down to the wire. There also was a bumper Anzac Round crowd of 9299 for the Tigers’ night game against Adelaide in 2014, boosted by star forward Taylor Walker returning from injury via the Crows in their first SANFL season.

You could hardly have a match-up with both sides on such successful streaks. Since they clashed in Round 1 – Sturt getting home at Unley by 31 points – both these sides have won every game. While there is plenty of entertainment and food and drink for the SANFL Super Match it will be deadly serious inside the pickets. A Sturt win would put it two games clear at the top of the table. Patrick Wilson was bestafield in the Blues’ win in the season opener and he adds to the star quality of this big clash returning from a two-game suspension to play his 100th league game. Glenelg will edge clear in top spot by percentage if it can make it eight wins in a row. We’re giving the last word to Crows coach Mick Godden, whose side has suffered narrow losses at the hands of both these sides. “I think Glenelg is the best side we’ve played this year,” he said after last week’s two-point loss.

SOUTH V NORWOOD Redlegs fans know all about close losses right now – although they don’t have to think that far back to recall a pretty exciting close win, do they? But the reigning premiers, after kicking off this campaign with four losses by convincing margins, have had their hopes of quickly turning around their campaign thwarted by suffering three tight defeats in the past four rounds. As if losses by seven points against Port and 12 points against West – with the Bloods kicking the last two goals – weren’t hard enough to swallow, the five-point loss with the missed shot after the siren against Central was incredibly painful. Norwood will be desperate to give premiership skipper Matthew Nunn a 100th game to celebrate – but, again, it won’t be easy.

South knows all about close games – it won six and lost six games decided by less than two goals last year. But, after losing to Sturt by two points in Round 7, the Panthers took any luck out of the equation by beating North by 27 points to turn around a run of five successive losses, ruckman Keegan Brooksby standing tall with 15 touches, seven marks and 42 hit-outs. South is right back in the finals hunt – although it’s in eighth spot, its 3-5 win-loss record is just one win behind the fourth-placed Eagles.

That’s how close it is.

GLENELG V STURT Top spot is on the line in this eagerly-awaited clash between these great rivals. So it’s hardly surprising the Tigers are making a huge day of this mouth-watering encounter and pushing for an epic

WOMEN’S GRAND FINAL PREVIEW

BY PETER CORNWALL

It’s a perfect match-up.

The team from way down south, against the team from up north.

The team that’s been there done that, gunning for a record third Hostplus SANFLW League flag, against the team in its first grand final, in its first finals series, even.

It’s the stingiest defence against the best attacking force.

Throw in the coach with a flag under his belt already, four years ago, against the mentor in his first SANFLW finals campaign in just his second year in charge and you have all the intrigue you could possibly wish for in a grand final. One that’s bound to go down to the wire.

South Adelaide is in its fourth grand final, having won premierships in 2018-19 and just falling short in 2020. Coach Rick Watts steered the Panthers to their 2019 flag and has performed sensationally this year to lift an allround team without many superstars to heights even he had not expected – the minor premiership and straight through to another grand final.

Central District coach Ben Hunt has brought his side from even further back. The Bulldogs finished sixth last year – although only one win plus percentage behind fourth side South – after coming seventh, bottom and sixth in their first three years in the competition. Their 9-3 record deservedly landed them in second spot and, after being beaten by 11 points by South in the second semi-final, they bounced back with a sensational, historic 40-point win against Norwood in the preliminary final.

It’s hardly surprising there was a ding-dong battle between Watts and Hunt over who should be named coach when The Advertiser SANFLW Team of the Year was announced on Tuesday night. Hunt 6

just got the nod for lifting the Dogs into the history books but either would have been a fitting winner.

While there are plenty of differences between these sides, there’s also a striking similarity.

They are both blue-collar workers from the outskirts, desperate to continue to build success for their clubs and their areas. And with both teams also in winning form and with no home ground advantage with the game being played at Prospect Oval, it’s looming as a toss-up.

If it comes down to the wire, South has been exceptional in these circumstances. The Panthers have, incredibly, a 6-0 win-loss record in games decided by six points or less.

They have won them in different ways, too, kicking late goals in some, desperately holding on in others and it can’t be a fluke when it happens so consistently. Coach Watts said his charges had taken part in situational training from the start of the year in these close-finish scenarios. If the Panthers are in front, it’s all about repeat stoppages and contested work but “we can also switch into ‘go’ mode, get the footy out into space and get the ball in motion,” Watts said, if they need a last-gasp winner.

Proud his side works so well without all the big names, South has been restricting opposition scoring so well it has been conceding a mere 24 points per game. But Central has been kicking an average 39 points per game. Watts sees there’s clear danger with the Bulldogs. “I know they have more firepower than we have – we have to be careful we don’t allow them to have too much oxygen,” he said, noting he was always taught attacking football puts bums on seats, defensive footy wins premierships.

There’s plenty of talent out there.

Central had five players named in the Team of the Year – Katelyn Rosenzweig, Caitlin Wendland, Elaine Grigg, Georgia Madigan and Shelby Smith – and South had three – Soriah Moon, Brooke Boileau and Esther Schirmer.

Hunt was delighted with Central’s pressure and the way it created plenty of scoring opportunities in the big win against Norwood, saying, “I think it was the best four-quarter performance the girls have put together this year”.

Not surprisingly he hopes his charges have one more of those performances in them.

He was also pleased, “even when

the siren went, they were happy and excited to be in the grand final but they didn’t carry on too much – they won’t be satisfied until they play the best game we can this week.” The feeling is “the job’s not done”, even though the Bulldogs had already created plenty of history.

While Hunt established relationships in his first season last year, he said now there was “complete buy-in from me to them and them to me”. He believes a fivepoint win against last year’s premier North Adelaide in Round 6 was a turning point – the moment there was belief all round this could be a top-two side by the end of the minor round. There has been enormous trust among the group and it started when the Roosters led 4.4 to 0.0 at quarter-time but Hunt didn’t make any changes, trusting the team could turn it around. “The girls believe we can

do anything, as long as we are together.”

Here’s another similarity. Both sides do it all together. And they do it well. And both coaches have huge respect for the opposition. “There’s a reason why they finished top, they know how to shut down teams and they did it to us,” Hunt said of South’s second semi-final win. Watts said of Central: “They have some incredible high-end players who can really tear a game open.” No wonder there’s keen anticipation about this grand final.

PLAYERS TO WATCH SOUTH

CENTRAL

SORIAH MOON

BROOKE BOILEAU

SHELBY SMITH

KATELYN ROSENZWEIG

An energetic, mobile ruck who has stood tall after missing last season with an ACL injury which actually had her close to stepping away from footy. Just as well she didn’t, she’s been SANFLW’s leading knock ruck, averaging 24 per game. Coach Rick Watts, describing Moon as an “amazing person”, said, “when the ball hits the ground she turns into a brutal midfielder”. That’s why she’s also South’s No. 1 handballer.

The hard-working on-baller has been playing outstanding footy, averaging 18 disposals, seven tackles and four clearances this year.

Bitterly disappointed not to be picked in the State under-18 side last year, she simply stepped it up and is now being rewarded for the huge amount of work she put in. “It gave her the motivation she needed,” said coach Watts of her transformation into a highend athlete. “She blows up the GPS each week.”

The daughter of former Central captain Greg Smith has emerged as an outstanding leader in her own right. “From day one, when I got the job, I have been impressed with her.

She backs me in, I back her in,” said coach Ben Hunt.

“She gets around the group… she loves the club.

Her leadership is second to none. A real inspiration.”

Averaging 22 disposals, nine tackles and four clearances, that’s hardly surprising.

The dangerous forward has had to overcome plenty of adversity to get back on top of the goalkicking list – with 23 – having suffered a broken back in 2019, then missing last year after a knee reconstruction. “I wasn’t going to let anything get in the way,” she said of her love for the game. Coach Hunt said, “she’s back to her best”, after she was managed early in the season, “so hopefully she’s peaking at the right time”. sanfl.com.au

LEADING LIGHT

BY PETER ARGENT

Glenelg star Matthew Allen, an honest, forthright and engaging character, has the makings of a future Tigers captain with his mature and balanced outlook on footy and life.

“First and foremost, Matt is an outstanding person with the highest integrity and character,” Glenelg coach Darren Reeves said. “He has time and energy for everyone he comes across and is developing into a leader of high quality.

“On the field Matt is a matchwinner as a big-bodied inside or outside midfielder with great running power and an outstanding skill set. He’s an incredibly important part of our football club.”

Hailing from the Mount and the North Gambier Tigers, Allen came up to Adelaide in his mid-teens, being educated at St Peter’s College, boarding and studying there from Year 10 to Year 12. “My move up to Adelaide primarily was to increase opportunities with my cricket,” Allen, 25, said. “I had played SAPSASA under-12s (primary school), schoolboys (under-15s) and SACA under-17s State junior cricket.”

Allen captained South Australia to the under-17 national title in January 2014. “Leading that team to the win is among the proudest moments so far in my sporting career,” he said. “In that team was Redbacks quick David Grant, Patrick Page (who Allen played a lot of junior football and cricket with), Jake Winter, Michael Cormack and Isaac Boylan. I was captain of the St Peter’s First XI cricket team and First XVIII football team.”

Allen said his coach at Saints, Darren Trevena, the former South Adelaide captain now Glenelg talent manager, played an important role in his football development. He was a member of the SA under-18 football program under Brenton Phillips in 2015 and was picked at No. 62 in the AFL draft. Allen played 10 WAFL senior games in his first year at the Eagles before hamstring and foot

injuries limited him to just two games in 2017.

“Those first couple of seasons were a great learning experience about what was required getting the body right for elite footy,” Allen said.

“West Coast was travelling pretty well in 2018 and 2019 and opportunity didn’t arrive. I played three seasons with East Perth and in ’19 with West Coast reserves when they came into the WAFL. “While I wasn’t able to break into the AFL, I did share the East Perth bestand-fairest award with ‘Parto’ (Glenelg’s 2019 Magarey Medallist Luke Partington) which was special. I was lucky to be drafted to West Coast with Luke and another country lad, Tommy Cole, which helped with the adjustment of moving to Perth.”

When he decided to come back to Adelaide, Allen was always going to play at Glenelg.

“The No. 1 driver for me is to win a premiership at Glenelg,” he said.

“And to be the best team-mate I can be. We have a like-minded group and are driven to secure that No. 6 (league premiership) at Glenelg.

“Along with Darren (Trevena), Luke Webster, who played with Fremantle for a while, has been important. My biggest mentor was (former Geelong and Carlton star) Adrian Hickmott. He got the best out of me and taught me a lot of lessons that stuck.”

Donning the SA State jumper at Adelaide Oval in May was another special experience for Allen, playing in front of friends and family, including his mother, Sarah Pick, adding to the win.

Along with his football commitments in a full and busy life, Matt Allen is an education facilitator for the Sammy D Foundation. sanfl.com.au

HISTOR

AS GOOD AS IT GETS

BY PETER CORNWALL

As far as South Australian footy dates go, it doesn’t get much bigger than 15 June 1963.

On Thursday, it will be 60 years since SA pulled off its most famous win of all, shocking the Big V at the MCG. The Croweaters had not beaten Victoria on the iconic ground for 37 years and they were again dismissed out of hand as any chance by the Melbourne football public and media.

But, under the guidance of legendary Port Adelaide coach Fos Williams, the South Australians had been building towards conquering their own Everest.

One of the stars of SA’s win, West Adelaide’s 1962 Magarey Medallist Ken Eustice, who cut Victorian dangerman Ron Barassi out of the

game, said a team dinner after SA beat WA in Perth in 1962 set the scene. “It really was a tough game,” Eustice said in his biography Pound For Pound. “We got over them in an extraordinary effort and that night at dinner Lindsay Head jumped up and said: ‘Now for the Vics next year.’” Head said: “I thought it was important we set our goal to beat the Victorians … ‘now we’ve beaten WA, let’s do what is the most important thing’.” “It was the first time I can recall you were looking forward, almost 12 months in advance, to playing Victoria,” Eustice said.

Williams was passionate about State footy – and his State – and refused to believe a well-prepared, hand-picked SA team that played for each other with a common goal

could not beat the best the Big V could dish up, after years of the Croweaters being pushed around and intimidated. “For too long South Australia was playing that nice, open, opportunist game that was fast getting us nowhere. We had to have the type who would surge to the fall of the ball and take risks to get it,” Williams said in Michelangelo Rucci’s Dynasty – A Legend, a Family and the Port Adelaide Football Club.

“They came at us right from the first bounce,” Barassi said of SA’s famous seven-point victory. “They were revved up – they really came to play.

And we were perhaps a little overconfident. But it was a terrific effort by them. I didn’t play much of a game …I was outed and scouted by Ken Eustice. I couldn’t get a game for Victoria after that.”

A GAME TO REMEMBER BYJOHN HALBERT

For many years South Australia had been unsuccessful in State games against Victoria in Melbourne – and 1963 wasn’t expected to be any different.

In preparation for the game, the Vics, for the first time, had decided to select their best side possible rather than the usual practice of two players from each of the VFL teams. This resulted in four players from each of Carlton, Essendon and Geelong.

They were red-hot favourites to such a degree Jack Dyer was asked on television that, if he were coach, what he would say to the players before they went on the ground. He said: “I would say, ‘enjoy the run’.

And then I would go off to the races!”

However, they had not done their homework.

The SA side was composed of a large group of players who had been playing together regularly in the

Making our mark.

John Halbert takes a strong mark as he helps South Australia to its famous win against Victoria at the MCG in 1963.

State team since the beginning of the 1960s. They knew the strengths and weaknesses of their teammates and how to work effectively together.

Early in the first quarter Neil Hawke kicked a magnificent goal from a tight angle in the forward pocket.

However, he injured his knee and was replaced by Don Lindner. We lost nothing because Don caused them a constant headache.

SA was in the ascendancy for most of the first half, leading 4.1 to 2.1 at quarter-time and 8.3 to 3.4 at halftime.

Yet, despite that scoreline, the crowd of almost 60,000 Victorians virtually treated us with disdain, giving us a little clap after we did something well, as if to say “well done boys, you are doing quite well against our champions”.

Then, at half-time, it seemed they realised we were matching the Vics in every aspect of the game. Their responses in the second half became quite vocal and abusive. The Vics closed the margin to seven points by three-quarter-time, 9.4 to 7.9.

In the last quarter the Vics went to the lead and many would have thought the expected result was going to occur.

However, at three-quarter-time the Victorian coach, Bob Davis, made a terrible mistake. John Benetti was injured after a collision with Neil Kerley and did not return for the last quarter. Davis had moved Kevin Murray to the back pocket on to Kerley and Bills. Murray had been having a great tussle with Lindsay Head and had kept Lindsay reasonably quiet. Davis brought on John Henderson to stand Lindsay.

Henderson mouthed off to Lindsay about how he was going to bury him and he upset the magician. Lindsay quickly kicked two goals that put us back in front and we held on to win by seven points.

As the siren sounded there was a deathly silence. Almost 60,000 Victorians stuck dumb! It was wonderful!

We had confounded the critics.

It was a wonderful moment as we gathered together in the centre of the oval to enjoy a very special victory.

After celebrating in the rooms we all adjourned to Lou Richards’ pub on Flinders Street to remind him of some remarks he had made about our chances before the game and then moved on to our hotel for a victory dinner.

When we returned to Adelaide on

Sunday morning we were staggered to be greeted at the airport by 8000 supporters who had come to welcome us home and congratulate us on our wonderful victory.

This had truly been a great victory.

A game to remember.

TORRENS UNIVERSITY SANFL U18 WRAP

BY ZAC MILBANK

Woodville-West Torrens survived a late scare to hold on for a 10-point win against Glenelg in Round 10 of the Torrens University SANFL Under-18s at Maughan Thiem Kia Oval.

Leading by 22 points when ruck Tom Luck converted in the 15th minute of the last term, the Eagles appeared to be coasting to victory but goals to Angus Clarke and Harry Plews gave the Tigers a sniff with five minutes to play. But that was the end of the scoring, the Eagles snaring their seventh win of the season. Brody Mair (19 disposals, six clearances), Tarik Sauer and Jordan Tilbrook played strong roles in the triumph. Glenelg trio Kallan Bevan (26 disposals, six clearances), Ashton Beal (five goals) and Clarke did their best to pinch the premiership points.

Sturt dynamos Kobe McEntee and Connor Mills were instrumental in the Double Blues’ 42-point win against West Adelaide at Hisense Stadium.

The hard-running rovers were everywhere as McEntee – younger brother of Power forward Jed McEntee – racked up 35 disposals and six clearances while Mills – son of South Adelaide great Trent Mills – had 30 disposals and 10 marks. Sturt’s win kept it in touch with the top four as Sam Waltham (four goals) and Mitch Dean (three) hit the scoreboard. West officials praised Judd Hansen (17 disposals, eight marks), Sam Burbridge (22 disposals) and Caleb McCormick.

North Adelaide’s Toby Turner’s last-gasp goal earned the Roosters a pulsating one-point win against South Adelaide at Flinders University Stadium.

After receiving a 25m penalty, Turner nailed his 15m set shot on a challenging angle to secure the premiership

Sturt’s Kobe McEntee was outstanding with 35 disposals and six clearances. Photo: Peter Argent

points with just 17 seconds left on the clock. It was a remarkable result considering North had 22 fewer inside-50 entries and four less scoring shots as Angus Tully (29 disposals), Taylem Stubbs and Tom Stevens were prominent. South skipper Nicholas Schroder’s consistent season continued, named his side’s best, while Phoenix Hargrave (32 disposals) and Ayden Duke also contributed strongly.

Central District boosted its percentage on top of the premiership table with an 80-point victory against Norwood at The Parade.

Tom Cochrane and Charlie Nicholls had a field day as they helped themselves to six goals each as the Bulldogs slammed on 12.7 to 1.4 in a rampant second half. Beau Ryan (29 disposals), Nathan Johnson and Lachie Giles also produced powerful performances. On a tough day at the office, Norwood’s Riley Kirchhofer, Brayden Rachwal and Jackson Savage did their best to stem the tide. sanfl.com.au
