South Australian Football Budget -Round 11 2024 - Vol 99 - No. 11 22-23 June

Proudly partnering the journey of footy in SA for 70 years.

FREEZE A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW Greg Whittlesea is royalty out Unley way. So it’s hardly surprising Sturt’s 1988 Magarey Medallist was front and centre on the King’s Birthday holiday Monday as a bumper crowd of 6911 saw Sturt reign supreme against old rival Norwood at Unley.

But it wasn’t all about the footy as the SANFL, Blues and Redlegs joined forces with MND SA to raise

awareness and funds for people living with motor neurone disease and their caregivers. While the inaugural ‘Kick n Sip Festival’ added to the holiday atmosphere outside the ground, the ‘Dunk Me for MND’ challenge entertained fans inside it, Sturt patron and allround good guy Whittlesea taking to it like a duck to water, being dunked by fans three times before finally getting out of the tank. Former Sturt captain Chris Thredgold took his turn, while Norwood Magarey Medallists Michael Aish and Mitch Grigg, who tragically lost his father Chris to MND in 2022, also ended up soaked for an important cause.

MATCH PREVIEWS

BY PETER CORNWALL

NORWOOD V PORT A few weeks ago this clash might have appeared a mismatch but after all these years we should know better than to write off any Norwood-Port meeting as anything but fiercely fought and must-see. So, particularly after the change in the SANFL landscape since Round 7, when Norwood was unbeaten on top of the table and Port without a win on the bottom, the Channel 7 telecast will be must viewing for those who can’t make it to The Parade. The Redlegs, reeling from injuries and a suspension to key players, have suffered losses against the Eagles (39 points) and Sturt (28), while the Magpies showed they shouldn’t be written off in any way with an impressive 20-point win against West at Alberton last week.

Port coach Hamish Hartlett levelled the score with sibling Adam after his big brother had earned bragging rights with the Bloods’ comeback four-point win in Round 2 at Waikerie. But there would have been jangled nerves as West stormed to within eight points eight minutes into the last quarter with the breeze at its back. Port, which had kicked off the game with intent, booting the first five goals, steadied in a pleasing sign for the younger Hartlett, Tom Scully standing tall with four goals and Jordon Sweet likewise with 15 disposals, 43 hit-outs and a goal. And former Redleg Cody Szust and dual Yorke Peninsula Mail Medallist Murphy Short had 50 touches between them.

Prolific Redlegs midfielders Billy Cootee (hamstring) and Mitch O’Neill (ankle) have been sorely missed in the past two games, while mercurial Matt Panos (knee) hasn’t played since Round 4 and Matt Ling is 4

suspended. To add to their injury dramas the Legs lost Baynen Lowe and Henry Nelligan to ankle injuries as they tried to stay in the hunt against Sturt, who rammed on 4.5 to nothing in the decisive last quarter.

It’s so tight at the top Norwood has tumbled four spots in the past two rounds, so it’s going to want to get right back into winning ways after the bye. But Port, which finished within 18 points of the high-flying Legs when they clashed at Alberton in Round 4, won’t be just going to let that happen.

STURT V NORTH A quick glance at the SANFL ladder and it’s clear there’s a gap between the top five and bottom five. Fifthplaced Sturt is two wins plus 10 per cent clear of West and North in sixth and seventh. And, incredibly considering we are up to Round 11, there has only been one win by a team in the bottom five against a team in the top half. These two clubs won’t need to be reminded of that. The Roosters snuck home against the Double Blues by six points in Round 3, a last-gasp Sturt shot at goal falling short. North will have belief from that game, the Blues will be desperate to even the score on their own patch, providing the ingredients for another thrilling match-up. But Sturt is clearly in a better place than it was in the opening rounds. The Blues have won five of six clashes since that loss, including wins in their past four games, while the Roosters have gone win, loss, win, loss, win, loss.

Consistency is what North craves, then it can start bridging the gap. But it came close in its most recent game, pushing reigning premier Glenelg all the way in a 12-point loss that showed it isn’t that far away. The

Roosters were level at three-quarter-time thanks to a monster 70m goal from Nigel Lockyer but, despite being slightly in front in disposals, tackles and clearances, they couldn’t match the Tigers in the home stretch, Rooster fans feeling they didn’t get the rub of the green.

Sturt, on the other hand, finished in a blaze of glory against Norwood. After three quarters of dour, defence-dominated grind with nothing between the old rivals, the Blues kicked away with the last four goals of the day, livewire left-footer Sam Conforti breaking the shackles with two goals in less than two minutes, bringing the bumper Unley crowd to life and ending the Redlegs’ resistance. Recruit of the year Will Snelling, powerhouse Tom Lewis and captain courageous James Battersby were on-ball forces while Casey Voss led from the back, coach Martin Mattner declaring, “our defence, pressure and contest were really good”. Both sides will be up for the contest here.

WEST V GLENELG The Bloods would be disappointed to be two games out of the five after having their chances to make it a hattrick of wins last week against Port, beaten by 20 points despite having more disposals, clearances and tackles. The 10.17-to-15.7 scoreline told a tale of missed opportunities. Now the challenge is right ahead of West if it feels it is a finals chance – in the next five games it faces the five top sides, starting with reigning premier Glenelg. The Bays haven’t been sweeping opponents aside and they have been battling injuries but they have strung five wins together after their surprise capitulation to Sturt on Anzac Day. When they were strongly challenged by North in their most recent contest, two last-quarter goals from Matt Allen and a resolute defence led by Chris Curran were crucial in a fighting 12-point win that earned the Tigers the John Sandland Cup, honouring the former Glenelg and North star who died in 2012. With ruck star Cam McGree on his way back after suffering a broken collarbone in the first game of the season, the Bays will have an even more formidable look.

against Port but we know there will always be fight from this side and they edged to within eight points in the last quarter. While they couldn’t quite make up the leeway, it was a courageous effort considering the Bloods had only one player on the bench with Jordan White suffering concussion and Hamish Ellem (ankle) and Darcy Minchella (ribs) injured. Sam Frost was inspirational with 10 kicks, 19 handballs, 11 clearances and 10 tackles, a remarkable stats line that deserved to be rewarded with a win. sanfl.com.au

LEADING FROM THE BACK

BY STEVE BARRETT

When the average punter watches a game of football, they generally hope to see some high marks, great goals and their team in front when the final siren sounds.

Redoubtable West Adelaide full back Josh Ryan’s preferred viewing experience differs somewhat. His gaze hones in on the participating key defenders, observing how they read the play, how their bodying and positioning shape up, and what influences their decision to either attempt an intercept mark or execute a hard-fisted spoil. That extra attention to detail, even while sitting in the stands or on his couch, has made Ryan, in the view of many judges, the best last-line ‘glove’ in the SANFL. “When I watch games, I watch the key defenders, see how and when they go for their marks and how they do their contest work,” the 28-year-old from Mildura said. “I like to watch Harris Andrews (from Brisbane) play – I have similar size and attributes to him. Jacob Weitering (Carlton), as well, for his ability to read the play and what he does without the ball. When I watch Melbourne, I enjoy watching Steven May take all those intercepts on his opponent. Those are the things I look out for.”

By adopting different traits from some of the country’s premier ‘goalkeepers’, Ryan has become a State regular, while last year piecing together the most impressive season of his career to win the Neil Kerley Medal as the Bloods’ club champion.

West fans were delighted to see Ryan flying again, following a difficult 2022 campaign blighted by three separate concussions. The most severe of those was the delayed concussion he suffered after a blow to the cheekbone against Central District in Round 2. “I was fine and played out the game but felt the symptoms a couple of days later,” Ryan recalled. “It set off headache symptoms and concentration was difficult. I struggled with bright lights and loud noises.”

Ryan missed five weeks after the second concussion, which came via an accidental hit at training, before re-emerging donning his now trademark, impossible-to-miss helmet. “I probably don’t need to wear it but I think it just gives me that little bit of extra confidence,” said Ryan, who works at Westies as their graphic designer. “It helps brace the impact when I get a few knocks here and there in contests.”

Captain and fellow key defender Kaiden Brand never played again after suffering a nasty concussion late in 2022 but retirement never entered Ryan’s mind. “He (Brand) got it a lot worse than I did,” Ryan said. “His symptoms just show how serious the concussion stuff is and how it can affect people in different ways. I got the all-clear from the docs and still wanted to play SANFL footy.”

His 2022 nightmare out the way, Ryan was back to his dour, oldschool stopping best in ‘23, while also adding an offensive element to

his repertoire, ranking fourth in the league for marks and chalking up personal-best disposal numbers.

“Last year was definitely my best year footy-wise,” he said. “I didn’t expect to win the best-and-fairest, so that was a very good surprise. I worked on my contested marking in the off-season and it was good to take a few more intercepts. Harts (coach Adam Hartlett) has been playing me in the deepest role, a bit of an anchor position in defence, which has allowed me to use that strength of marking, as well as being that traditional lockdown defender.”

Ryan, who has yet to taste finals action, is eager to follow his finest individual campaign with the improving Bloods’ best as a team.

“We definitely want to play finals and we know we can this year,” he said. “There’s confidence in the team we’ve got that we can make it happen. We just need to put in four quarters together consistently. If we do that we can beat any team in the competition.”

HOUR OF RECKONING

BY PETER CORNWALL

A week’s a long time in politics. And an hour is an eternity in SANFLW footy. Look at what happened in an hour last Saturday as the minor round finished in a tangled flurry with six teams battling for places in the final four.

At 12.50pm – half-time in the West v Norwood, Sturt v North and Glenelg v Eagles clashes – the Redlegs were sixth on the ‘live ladder’ and staring at missing the major round, the Blues were up to fourth, finals beckoning, and Glenelg, which had been top for the first 11 rounds of the season, was third and on track to miss the major-round double-chance.

By 1.45pm, Norwood had leapt up to fourth and would be playing major-round footy for the seventh time in eight SANFLW seasons, knocking Sturt out of the final finals spot, despite the Blues crunching North Adelaide by 37 points. And the Bays were back up to second as, in one hour – the last hour of the minor round – every team from second to sixth had changed positions on the ladder.

When minor premier South beat Central in the late game, Glenelg had regained the double-chance at the Bulldogs’ expense. The Bays sneaked in with just a point to spare, young gun Eloise Mackereth kicking the winning goal against the Eagles with a stunning snap from a seemingly impossible angle in the pocket, the hero of a win-againstthe-odds for the second time this season. State Academy member Mackereth, who has booted 13 goals in 11 games this season, had kicked a long goal after a strong mark 19 minutes, 40 seconds into the last quarter in Round 6 to knock off Norwood by four points. The 16-year-old clearly has the temperament to add to the talent.

On a day when small margins had big consequences, the Redlegs trailed West by two points at halftime, the Bloods needing a win to jump above Norwood, which started the last round in fourth, half-a-win ahead of West and Sturt.

There’s a fine line between pleasure and pain. Glenelg last year missed the SANFLW finals by percentage. This season the Bays snatched the double-chance with a one-point win against Woodville-West Torrens. Eloise Mackereth was mobbed after kicking the winning goal. Photo: Gordon Anderson

But the Legs ground out a six-point win, strong-marking Kiana Lee’s two third-quarter goals proving the difference. Now Norwood faces reigning premier Central in the knockout first semi-final at Noarlunga on Saturday at 2.20pm.

The Bulldogs were beaten by 26 points by South at Elizabeth but, as we all remember from last year’s grandstand finish in their grand final win against the Panthers, count them out at your own peril.

South deservedly secured the minor premiership with its sixth successive win, and 11th from its past 12 games. Emily Brockhurst’s stunning four-goal haul lifted her to 25 for the minor round, joining perennial leading goalkicker Katelyn Rosenzweig, who kicked one goal for the Bulldogs, at the head of the

list. The Panthers now face Glenelg at Flinders University Stadium at noon on Saturday, the winner gaining direct access to the grand final. Midfielder Nikki Nield is having a stunning season, averaging 22 disposals, 11 tackles and five clearances a game, while Soriah Moon is averaging a remarkable 30 hit-outs a game to set the tempo.

The Tigers will be a tough proposition, though, with the league’s premier midfielder Jess Bates likely to return after missing two games with plantar fasciitis – she still has most disposals, tackles and clearances for the year – while premiership skipper Ellie Kellock, who has had a horror injury run with ankle and hamstring concerns, is a huge in. There will be small margins again, no doubt. sanfl.com.au

STEP BACK IN TIME

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

BY DION HAYMAN

Long-striding, long-kicking Port Adelaide wingman Greg Anderson was best-afield against Norwood under lights at Football Park in 1984.

Port Adelaide came from five goals back to win the first game played under lights for premiership points at Football Park in 1984.

It brought to a close an almost sixyear battle that included a Royal Commission as local residents fought doggedly to keep SANFL headquarters in the dark.

“It was wonderful Port Adelaide was chosen for the game,” said Greg Anderson, who was best-afield on that Friday night, still 10 days shy of his 18th birthday. “I lived at West Lakes so I knew how the residents had tried to block it for years and years. So as a football supporter and lover, to finally be able to play the first game under lights was pretty special knowing how long it took to make that happen. Our whole family were footy freaks, really, they were very much in favour of it. We just loved it.”

Anderson’s feats on the night were even more remarkable given he collided with a roaming TV cameraman standing just a metre outside the boundary line after a Michael Aish tackle. “I just went head-first into the cameraman’s camera and certainly saw a few stars, that’s for sure. It was a really solid hit, just like a cricket ball on the noggin. I was probably stunned as much as anything. I was certainly wobbly when I got to my feet.”

Anderson received attention on the ground before being assessed in the changerooms but resumed shortly after. It probably inspired Dwayne Russell’s clumsy tackle on Garry McIntosh moments later which prompted reprisal from Tom Warhurst, sparking a heated scuffle.

It also shook the unbeaten Magpies to life after they had conceded the first five goals of the evening.

Norwood went into the game with a 1-4 record and, at first, it seemed some surprise tactics would pay off.

Coach Neil Balme handed a debut in ruck to brother Craig, sent Jim Michalanney to defence on Tim Evans and picked Rodney Maynard at full forward. “They really got the jump on us and it looked like it was going to be a long night but it was an amazing turnaround,” Anderson said.

“I do remember the ball just bouncing my way straight after that incident, in between opponents’ legs and straight into my hands. So I think I had a bit of lady luck after that.”

Anderson saw off David Dickinson and James Fantasia before finishing with Keith Thomas for company.

Centreman Craig Bradley did more damage the longer the game went, while small forward Stephen Knight, who passed away in 2009, was instrumental with six goals. He could have kicked eight but for two handballs over the top to Evans in

the goalsquare. Knight was a player who celebrated every goal like he had scored at Wembley, punching the air with fervour. “He had this incredible excitement and enthusiasm and when he was on, it was great to be alongside him. And he was ‘on’ that night,” Anderson remembered.

The dashing wingman also thinks his output secured him a State debut against Victoria. “I was lucky enough to play that first State game under lights a few weeks later so that game really helped me because they obviously thought I could play okay under lights and maybe they thought the style suited me.”

Aish struck again that night with a fierce shepherd on 16-year-old Wayne Mahney the umpires deemed legal but that drew the wrath of the Magpie army.

Neil Balme was also furious. He approached the men in white at half-time and after the game declared: “In the past five weeks we have been struggling along and every week we have had a hiding from the umps. Weak decisions were made at crucial times. How many frees were paid in front of goal?”

The Magpies won 20.14 (134) to 14.7 (91) but, incredibly, Norwood turned the tables on Port 149 days later to win one of the greatest grand finals of all. sanfl.com.au

UNDER-18 CHAMPIONSHIP WRAP

BY ZAC MILBANK

South Australia was unable to peg back Western Australia’s fast start as it suffered a 67-point loss in Game 3 of the Marsh AFL Under18 National Championships at Alberton Oval on Sunday.

The defeat followed a 12-point win against the Allies and an eightpoint loss at the hands of Victoria Country. The Croweaters will return to Alberton to tackle Victoria Metro on Sunday, June 30 to end their campaign.

The Sandgropers piled on 6.3 to 1.2 in the opening quarter to put SA on the back foot. WA’s efficiency proved pivotal as it finished with 18.7 (115) to SA’s 6.12 (48) despite having one fewer inside-50m entry.

Versatile Thomas McKay was SA’s best while Lucas Camporeale found

plenty of the ball on his wing to collect 29 disposals. Emerging ruckman Alex Dodson backed up his fine performance in Game 2 with 20 disposals and 22 hit-outs.

SA’s inaccuracy in front of goal was costly as it was beaten by Victoria Country by eight points in Game 2 on June 9.

Trailing by as much as 27 points early in the last quarter, the South Aussies refused to give in as crafty forward Evan Bradley snapped truly, before Tyler Welsh nailed two goals either side of a Ned Bowman set shot to give the Croweaters an unlikely sniff of victory with five minutes to play. But the Country boys steadied to win 13.9 (87) to 11.13 (79). SA, which had 10 more inside-50 entries, was led strongly

in the midfield by Ben Camporeale (27 disposals) and Sid Draper (26).

They received great service from Dodson, who impressed in his first SA under-18 outing with 19 disposals and 20 hit-outs. Crows father-son Welsh booted 4.2 from his seven kicks and five marks.

SA had kicked off its under-18 campaign with a gutsy 12-point come-from-behind win against the Allies on May 26 at Thebarton Oval.

Leading for just 10 minutes of the contest, the Croweaters were inspired by bottom-age prospect Dyson Sharp (25 disposals) while Bradley booted three goals. Carlton father-son prospects Ben (26 disposals) and Lucas (23 disposals) Camporeale shone through the midfield in the 13.9-to-11.9 win.
