he AFL this week announced the clubs for the inaugural national women’s competition.

Eight clubs – Adelaide, Brisbane, Carlton, Collingwood, Fremantle, Greater Western Sydney, Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs – have been chosen to compete in the first season which will be played in February/March next year. While one-off clashes have gained the notoriety of the football public in recent years, the question remains if the interest will be as high for a full season, even if it is just over two months? Such matches had been considered more novelty than anything else. There are plenty of girls who want to play the game and on a national stage like their male counterparts but is there enough quality to make a women’s competition viable? There are so many sports draining the top talent but the profile of women’s sport is certainly on the rise. Netball has been the primary sport for girls in Australia and through its media coverage, especially on television, its interest over recent years has increased significantly. However, despite a thriving

trans-Tasman competition, Netball Australia has seen a need to reel in the dollars and prioritise just a national league from next year. It has thus gained greater support across the board in doing so, in particular the broadcasting rights with Channel Nine. Even though they are summer sports, football will also be competing with women’s soccer and cricket for talent, sponsorship and the entertainment dollar. The escalating growth of the women’s Big Bash last summer will be pushed even further next season with more games to be telecast and in prime time. Soccer has made smaller inroads with the W-League through a game being covered weekly on free-to-air. Unfortunately, the Women’s National Basketball League has waned over the past decade and been overrun, in fact, by other women’s sports growing in interest. This is even against the possibility of playing for one’s country and potential Olympic success. Girls have looked to different sports for their fun over recent years. At the upcoming Rio Olympics, the Matildas and women’s Rugby 7s team will gain much of our attention, especially as gold medal prospects.

One thing is for sure, as a viewing public, we will be seeing more women’s sport on our television screens over coming years, which is exactly what the different women’s sporting associations have been crying out for. Promotion of women’s sport has never been at such a high and the success of all these sports trying to increase their fan base will be a gauge on whether greater heights can be reached in the future. It does spread the talent thin though which hopefully is not to the detriment of each individual sport. Does it therefore create the possibility of more girls being capable of playing duel sports like Ellyse Perry who has competed at a national level for both the Australian cricket team and the Matildas in soccer at the same time or will time requirements of one sport be too much for this to be realised again? Women have been breaking down the so-called ‘glass ceiling’ for years and their greater input into sport and now even into one of the last male bastions, the AFL, certainly hasn’t been a bad thing and can really only improve the respective sports. Cracking into higher administration roles is the obvious next big domain.

THUMBS UP

THUMBS Down

With our focus on women’s sport this week, well done to the Adelaide Thunderbirds on finally achieving their first win of the season.

Former Wallabies coach Eddie Jones masterminded a record-breaking victory for England in his first match against Australia as head of the old enemy.

It has been a tough year for the girls but they managed to celebrate Emily Beaton’s 100th game in style, defeating Central Pulse by 14 goals in New Zealand.

The 39-28 success in the First Test was just England’s fourth ever win on Australian soil and first in Brisbane while its score was its highest ever against the Wallabies.

Emerging young NSW shooter Kristina Brice showed why she was ‘hot property’ scoring 44 from 49 shots in last Sunday’s victory.

Australia, under Michael Cheika, will be out to redeem itself in the Second Test at AAMI Park in Melbourne on Saturday, declaring it will show a greater fighting spirit this week.

Only three games remain but the Thunderbirds will look to finish the last Trans-Tasman competition strongly before entering a new exciting era of netball next year with the National Netball League.

Jones has been trying to redirect focus away from his side’s heightened expectations by criticising the Australian media as being “disrespectful” to England.

A little more ‘heave-ho’

hat a disappointment last week’s result would have been for all at Port Adelaide.

The missing endeavour that had been gradually re-emerging was back in full display but the players still lacked that final poise to snatch an inspiring victory that could have seen the club make a run for the finals over the second half of the season. That appears too difficult now. Games like last Saturday had to be won. The heartbreaking three-point loss leaves the Power still within reach but a tougher campaign ahead makes the task harder. They would have to be pleased with their crosstown rival’s efforts to beat West Coast last week as their best bet to pinch a finals berth is to see the Eagles continue to squander opportunities. Both Port and West Coast face several of the same opponents over the next 10 weeks so they can each determine their own fate. Port Adelaide seems to be the only side that can upset the apple cart of the top eight should the Eagles or any other side flounder. While Melbourne and Carlton are on the same number of premiership points on the AFL ladder, their languishing percentage and most evidently their round-to-round vulnerability puts them out of the equation. The Power has shown a similar susceptibility in the early rounds which may cost them a finals appearance but last Saturday suggested the side had regained some of its elusive mojo. They may be facing the fledgling Fremantle at the wrong time with the previously struggling outfit also finding its resolve and ruthlessness over recent weeks to manage large consecutive victories after being winless for the first 10 rounds of the year. Port Adelaide, though, will still head to Perth for Saturday’s twilight clash with the Dockers as a decidedly better unit. It cannot be taken for granted though that it will bring home the points leading into its mid-year break. The players must follow their local rival’s lead and leave nothing behind on Domain Stadium to ensure a favourable outcome is achieved. A little more ‘heave-ho’ than they exerted last week against the Bulldogs should get the job done. Coach Ken Hinkley has described it as “persistence being the key”.

3 SPORTSBEAT // 16 JUNE 2016 It is about taking the right mindset into the game and those skill attributes will come

The Power simply have to continue on the path they if have been on over the past few weeks to improve their season’s record.

If the focus is off, even an unimposing Dockers’ group can gain some advantage, especially in front of home fans.

Every minute of every quarter counts as Hinkley indicated during the week to prevent lapses that can give an opposition a sniff.

They have a number of youngsters proving themselves at the top level, such as Connor Blakely and Lachie Weller who have earned Rising Star nods in successive weeks along with Darcy Tucker and Matt Taberner, which suggests the club’s future is bright.

Port Adelaide may have won some of the major performance key indicators against the Bulldogs, like tackle count, inside 50s, marks and overall number of possessions, but it still let its opponents in to punish mistakes and turnovers throughout the game. Importantly, though, self-belief has returned and Fremantle may be an ideal opponent to implement further development of its ground level skills and ball use.

It’s just a matter of how their mental state will be going into this contest. Another unchanged line-up is likely for the Power, although forward Jay Schulz is close to a comeback, while their opponents should welcome back veteran Matthew Pavlich. BY STEPHEN O’LOUGHLIN

Footy footnotes Huge win for the Crows in the context of the season with top four a reality now while the Power may look back later and rue a missed opportunity against the Bulldogs to propel their finals chances. • Surprising to hear that it was the first time in West Coast’s history (or in 1,232 quarters) that it had been held scoreless at home on Subiaco Oval in a quarter last week • On the score review – pointless having it if the adjudicators can’t make the right decision – until 100% accurate, get rid of it! • We know that the creative thinkers at the Western Bulldogs have it in the bag for producing the best rhymed banners – well Port Adelaide put up its entry in rebuttal to their weekend opponents last Saturday with a banner reading, “Port may give you gout but it’s great with cheese. Bulldogs give you nothing but fleas!” • The Blues brought it to a head last year but should the AFL have the right to amend the fixture say a month out where Friday night does not have a top billing clash programmed, like with Bombers’ games this season? • There’s ‘Buckley’s chance’ Travis Cloke will be at Collingwood next year after his latest dumping but which club would suit him best? – Hawthorn has been mooted but that’s highly unlikely, Essendon is on the cards – he could do goal-kicking practice with Joe Daniher, but Brisbane, which is pursuing Crow Josh Jenkins, or Fremantle might actually be Cloke’s most ideal fit • On the trade, has one player already indicated that he is on the move at season’s

end simply by his liking of a club on Instagram? – dynamic Demons forward Jay Kennedy-Harris, who is seeing little game time this year mainly due to injury and only played eight games last year, recently added Carlton to his list of followers • It seems a priority pick is off the table for the Lions but they could still receive a $1.4 million cash injection to boost their flagging football department • Thought Sundays were so-called ‘fan day’ – disappointing then that the AFL blamed the fans for the congestion issues at Etihad Stadium last Sunday when a larger crowd than expected turned up to see the Blues and Saints clash – club members couldn’t get seats together despite much of the more expensive second-tier seating being left unused so they stayed outside to watch on big screens, fans couldn’t purchase tickets on mobiles while in line and several food outlets were not even open • We know it’s for a good cause but James Bartel’s refusal to shave or get a haircut for the entire season to raise money for domestic violence is making him look like ‘Wolfman Jack’ or country hillbilly • Congrats to the Giants fan who won $100,000 during a three quarter-time promotion for kicking a ball inside a ring of three tyres but come on umpies, including ‘Razor’ Ray Chamberlain, your celebratory antics were going a bit far – focus on the job at hand –we did hear new Giant Stevie J also had a little chuckle at the result • The Demons had reason to be celebrating hard after last week’s punishment delivered to the Magpies as it was the first time Melbourne had beaten its archrival twice in a season since 1988

AFL PREVIEW ROUND13

BY DION HAYMAN

NORTH MELBOURNE V HAWTHORN

FREMANTLE V PORT ADELAIDE

The season’s early bolter meets the reigning premier when North Melbourne takes on Hawthorn at Docklands. The Hawks have won five of their last six clashes with the Kangaroos. North’s only win since 2010 came in 2014 at Docklands when it won by 20 points on the back of a five-goal haul from Drew Petrie. The Hawks though have been brutal with the Roos in recent times. In 2012, they won by a record 115 points in Launceston after Buddy Franklin scored a fixture high 13.4. Then last year at Docklands, which has hosted the last three games between these sides, Hawthorn won by an even 10 goals, 19.16 (130) to 10.10 (70). Jack Gunston and Luke Breust both scored four goals while Jarryd Roughead booted three. The Hawks won all four quarters. Hawthorn leads six wins to four at Docklands. Hawthorn leads overall 93 wins to 75 with two draws since these sides joined the VFL along with Footscray in 1925. At the time of writing several North Melbourne players were under injury clouds, adding to North’s pressure to win.

Fremantle and Port Adelaide have traded wins across their last six meetings, which have all been enticing encounters. Fremantle was the last side to string together successive victories – six of them – between 2009-13. Last year, the Dockers won in the opening round in Perth by seven points, 11.9 (75) to 10.8 (68) after four goals from Matthew Pavlich. Port won convincingly though in the final minor round game at Adelaide Oval. The Dockers, who had already captured the minor premiership, rested a number of senior players and flew to Adelaide with four debutants and another four players who had played only one or two games. They still lead by 19 points at quarter-time. However that lead was gone within 16 minutes of the second quarter as the Power swung the game, piling on 8.1 without reply. Fremantle trailed by 30 points at half-time and kept losing ground to go down by 69, 18.14 (122) to 8.5 (53). Jay Schulz finished with four goals for the winners. Port leads 17 wins to 14 overall. Both sides have seven wins at Subiaco where Port last beat Fremantle in the 2014 first semi-final.

BRISBANE V WEST COAST

WESTERN BULLDOGS V GEELONG

West Coast takes the long haul to the Gabba for the ninth year in a row. It is a journey the Eagles have not been spared since 2007. Brisbane has made only four trips to Subiaco to play the Eagles in that time. However, it has mattered little to the results with the Eagles winning their last five games against Brisbane as well as their last three at the Gabba. West Coast’s best winning streak against Brisbane is eight – its first eight matches against the old Bears from 1987. Its current streak of five wins includes three by more than 50 points including a 64-point win in the opening round in Perth earlier this year. West Coast won 26.10 (166) to 15.12 (102) after eight goals from Josh Kennedy and three apiece from Jamie Cripps and Josh Hill. The Eagles kicked six goals in the middle two quarters and seven in both of the bookends. West Coast leads Brisbane overall 32 wins to 12 with one draw. At the Gabba, the Eagles lead 11 wins to eight. With Brisbane coach Justin Leppitsch under pressure the Lions will be looking for a stronger performance on Saturday at home.

Geelong has won 12 of its last 13 games against the Western Bulldogs including its last eight in a row. It’s the Cats’ best run against the Dogs since their club record 11 in a row from 1988-94. The Dogs last won this backyard scrap in 2009 at Docklands when it was fourth versus second. The Bulldogs trailed by three points at the final change but finished with 6.2 to 3.3 to beat the eventual premiers by 14 points. The Cats reversed the result by the same margin two weeks later in the second qualifying final. Matthew Boyd, Dale Morris and Liam Picken are likely to be the Dogs’ only survivors from that year. Despite holding the upper hand, Geelong’s winning margins in this tussle are reducing. Their last four have been by 34, 21, 13 and eight points. Their most recent clash saw Geelong win at home last year, 10.12 (72) to 9.10 (64). Tom Hawkins and Steven Motlop kicked three goals as the Cats held sway for most of the afternoon. Geelong leads eight wins to five at Docklands, having won the last three contests there. The Bulldogs haven’t kicked the ton against Geelong since their last win in 2009.

SYDNEY V MELBOURNE Melbourne is winless in its last five games against Sydney. The Demons drew with the Swans at the MCG in 2011 but they have lost the last four matches by 101, 31, 31 and 38 points. Melbourne has kicked a total of just 12.16 across its last two games against Sydney as well. They last met in round six last year at the MCG when Sydney won 12.16 (88) to 7.8 (50). Kurt Tippett kicked four goals as the Swans dashed to a 40-point lead at half-time, holding the Dees to just one first half goal. Melbourne last beat Sydney in 2010 at the MCG by 73 points, propelled by a five-goal haul from Brad Green. This is the ninth successive season that a potentially iconic big-city rivalry has been rostered just once in the season. The Demons finally return to the SCG for the first time since 2012 when they were thrashed 21.12 (138) to 5.7 (37). Their previous trip was in 2007 when they lost by 49 points. Melbourne’s last win at the SCG was by five points in 2006.

ESSENDON V GWS GIANTS

Sunday 4.10pm, Etihad Stadium Essendon suffered its first defeat in five games against GWS last season when it was beaten by 32 points at the Sydney Showgrounds. The Bombers led by seven points at quarter-time and by eight points at half-time. However, the home side kicked 5.2 to 1.2 in the third term to set up a 16-point lead by the last change and they went on to win 14.9 (93) to 8.13 (61). Toby Greene finished with 31 possessions. It was a result that was coming as the Giants’ losing margin had been closing across their previous four defeats. Essendon’s wins were by 66, 39, 39 and 15 points. After three straight clashes in Sydney, the Bombers finally get the Giants back to Docklands for the first time since their only prior meeting there in 2013. The Bombers won that day 17.18 (120) to 12.9 (81). They had to pull out all stops though after the plucky Giants sensed an upset, after taking a 21-point lead into half-time. Jeremy Cameron was on fire and finished with six goals but four apiece from Stewart Crameri and Aaron Davey hauled Essendon out of the mire as the Bombers kicked 14 goals to five in the second half.

SANFL PREVIEW ROUND 12

BY CHRIS KENDALL

SOUTH ADELAIDE V PORT MAGPIES

NORTH ADELAIDE V WEST ADELAIDE

The season is starting to slip away for the Magpies after dropping further ground last week in a 23-point loss to Sturt. Despite the best efforts of Billy Frampton and Jimmy Toumpas, allowing the Double Blues a seven goal opening term proved fatal for Port. The bye gave South the ideal opportunity to freshen up in a bid to regain top spot and set themselves up for a double chance in the race for finals. The challenge for Port will be locking down the Panther attack. That will be particularly with Brett Eddy building a substantial lead in the Ken Farmer Medal race, and its onball division, where Joel Cross and Nic Schwarz are building an imposing combination. The return of Kane Mitchell from suspension will give the Magpies a real boost, particularly considering his excellent stopping job on Cross some weeks back. But most factors point toward a Panther win.

The Roosters were ultra impressive last week in thumping Glenelg by 74 points, led by five goals from Mitch Harvey and another dominant display from Jordie McKenzie. Tom Schwarz also continues to impress since crossing from the Eagles and gives another dimension that is severely lacking at West Adelaide. The Bloods still look no closer to recording their first win of 2016, and while the bye gave an opportunity for some soul searching, there still needs to be a significant change in mindset. North is capable of pushing most teams on its day and if it has any designs on a finals berth, need to start banking some wins and healthy percentage along the way. Both factors are more than conceivable here against a group that promised so much this season but is failing to deliver in a fashion not seen from a reigning premier in more than three generations. At home, the Roosters should prevail.

NORWOOD V CENTRAL DISTRICT

GLENELG V STURT

Disappointing loss for both teams last week, although Norwood was solid in the first half of their loss to Adelaide. Despite having 160 less disposals than Adelaide, the Redlegs still had their opportunities early before slipping right away in the second half. Central was terrible after quarter time, kicking 4.2 to 18.8 from the point to slip to a 88-point loss that left coach Roy Laird frustrated over how easily his troops were brushed aside. Both teams have had their moments this season but Central looks more capable of stringing together four quarters at this stage than Norwood. The Redlegs have been largely disappointing in 2016. While there could be some pointing to injury at times, overall they should still be sitting a lot higher on the ladder with this group. Unless the mental side can turn around very fast, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to make a case for them knocking over the Bulldogs.

After some promising efforts, the Tigers crashed back to earth last week in a 74 point thumping at the hands of North. Matthew Snook was his usual industrious self around the middle but there was not enough support through other lines for Glenelg to mount a challenge, which cannot be afforded against Sturt. The Double Blues set the tone early against Port in a seven goal opening term led by Mark Evansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four majors en route to a match haul of six. But he had plenty of support throughout. The Double Blues remain the big surprise packet of 2016 and while a largely clear medical room is assisting their cause, an enterprising and versatile game plan is also making them very hard to match up on. When afforded the same latitude seen in the first half last week, they can build a real run that is difficult to rein in. Glenelg is certainly capable of pushing Sturt if it brings its best, which has been seen at times this season, but the class edge lies with the visitors.

Day reveals he wanted to quit when No.1

n the eve of the US Open, Jason Day has revealed how stress had him planning to quit the game if he ever reached golf’s No.1 ranking.

he prepared for the 2016 US Open at historic Oakmont Country Club.

That was five years ago.

“But I don’t think that way any more.

Having overcome the desire to quit after a runner-up finish on debut at the 20011 Masters, the compromise Day revealed only to his inner circle at the US Open two months later was that he would forge his way to the top and then walk away in his prime.

“I’m driven to win tournaments just because 10 tournaments that I’ve won is not enough. I need to win more.

The world No.1 has since changed his tune considerably and now says he relishes the pressure he faces. “It’s amazing to think I said that, but at the time I felt so stressed out that I really felt if I ever got to number one I would be done,” said Day as

“I would have climbed the mountain and then I could finally relax and walk away content.

“Now I enjoy the stress. It’s a different stress. But I love being here. “Now it is all about trying to stay at No.1 for as long as I possibly can. “I don’t like to use the word legacy because it sounds a bit like I’m full of myself but I am trying to see how far I can take myself, how far I can push being the best in the world.”

Aussies out to bat smarter in ODI series

ustralia must rejig its approach with the bat as it seeks to break the 300-run barrier and bounce back in the ongoing ODI tri-series. Steve Smith’s side would have been close to locking up a spot in the June 26 series final if it defeated West Indies in St Kitts on Tuesday (AEST). But they suffered a shock four-wicket loss and risk falling below South Africa and West Indies on the table if they muck up again in Barbados. Smith was unhappy with his team’s “sloppy” fielding and ineffectual bowling but the skipper also felt they were 15-20 runs short with the bat. Australia finished 7-265, adding only 93 runs in its final 15 overs. It was a similar story in the preceding game when it defended 6-288 but managed 103 runs in the final 15 overs. Bailey noted the pitch and fine bowling were a factor.

But the former captain admitted the drop in late-innings boundaries was a concerning trend. “That’s under where we’d like to be,” Bailey said, having scored 55 off 56 balls in the loss to West Indies. “We haven’t probably cleared the fence as much as what the Australian team would have done, certainly in the past one or two years. “So we have to come up with some different plans probably.” Bailey highlighted the example of Matthew Wade’s quick-fire 24 against South Africa, when he scored a lot of runs behind the wicket. “Wadey was pretty clever,” he said. “You might lured in a little bit here with the short boundaries, so that’s fine if you’re the size of Kieron Pollard or Mitch Marsh. “For someone like me you have to be a bit smarter and come up with a different way of doing that.’’ BY ROB FORSAITH – AAP

Day, at 28, is the favourite at Oakmont this week. In five US Open appearances he has four top 10 finishes, including two runner-ups. But this time around Day enters as a major champion having cracked his glass ceiling with a record victory in last year’s PGA Championship. He’s won seven of his past 18 events and while other players are already complaining about the brutal nature of Oakmont, Day is licking his lips. “This is one tournament that is very stressful and I feel like I thrive under stress,” Day said. “I’ve never been more stressed in my life than right now. It’s just because being No.1 in the world, having a lot of expectations on you, having to practice so hard to keep that No.1 spot, trying to win as many tournaments as I can puts a lot of stress and pressure on your shoulders.’’ Joining Day in the field are Adam Scott, Geoff Ogilvy, Marc Leishman, Steven Bowditch, Cameron Smith and Aron Price.

Origin home edge makes Maroons smile

ueensland’s Aidan Guerra says the Maroons have an obvious edge by playing next week’s State of Origin match at home. NSW has won just one match where the series was still up for grabs at Suncorp Stadium in 11 years and was thrashed at the venue 52-6 in last year’s decider. Guerra says the atmosphere and support at the Brisbane venue ensures every one of the Maroons gets an edge from taking the field at the ground. “It’s just a great stadium to play at,” Guerra said “You walk out on the field and you feel like the soil below you is rattling. “We know we’ll have 55,000 Queenslanders there cheering us on.” BY ED JACKSON – AAP

SA in historic win

outh Australia has recorded its first openage State win over arch rival Victoria since 1995.

As the Big V was considered too strong under an open-age format, the two States had not met in such circumstances since 2004. However, last Saturday, South Australia, stacked with former SANFL experience, proved too good for its counterparts, producing a telling 17-point triumph.

The Norwood Division 1

Telling period of season

he Channel Nine Adelaide Football League returns to normal viewing this week.

It will be a crucial five weeks in Division 1 before the next break that will have a major impact on deciding the real contenders for the finals including premiership potential as well.

With aid of the breeze in the first quarter, the visitors opened the match with intent at the Trevor Barker Oval in Sandringham to hold a valuable 19-point lead at the first break.

The match-of-the-round will prove whether Prince Alfred OC can continue its rise to flag success when it hosts Payneham Norwood Union on Saturday.

It was the second quarter though, against a prevailing four-goal breeze, when SA stamped its authority.

Both sides had big wins before the State game bye and the rest should have Reds Lachlan McNamara, Hayden Jolly and Justin Graetz and Falcons Matthew Nye, Chase Bower and Jonathan Giannini ready for a tough bruising clash.

SA countered early goals from the home side with a five-goal blitz, launching countless attacks from half-back and running the ball with more surety through the middle, which set up a commanding 33-point advantage at half-time. The SA defence stifled the Victorian attack for most of the day, repelling the ball on a regular basis. SA’s teamwork was stronger, running in waves from defence to create scoring opportunities. Better structured and well organised, SA had the match in its control at three quarter-time, leading by 38 points. When the pressure had died down in the last quarter, Victoria found some momentum to kick five goals straight late but the margin was too large to reel in, leaving the final deficit at 17 points.

Prince Alfred OC coach Brett Backwell will be keen to see his side gain an added advantage over its closest rival on the ladder and go two games clear on top. The next two sides on the ladder experienced unexpected slips last round and will be out to atone this week. Critical injuries affected Tea Tree Gully’s performance against Salisbury North and with some of those being long term, the premiership hopes could rest with some younger guns performing. The Gullies will welcome an improving Goodwood Saints to their home base on Saturday in another season-defining encounter. It’s tough for visiting squads to win at

Pertaringa Oval so the Pintos – Ryan and Jordan – and Tom Anderson will have to lift again for the occasion. Rostrevor OC really stumbled before the break, going down by 73 points to Adelaide University. ROCs now head to Salisbury North for a revealing battle that will have top-five ramifications. Home side heroes Alex Stengle, Joe Hay and Steven Evans will be hoping to be back in the five at the end of the day. The Blacks’ success two weeks ago kept them in fifth spot and Nick Langridge, Jack Grieger and Lachlan Roach will out to ensure they are still there after meeting Port District away. Henley appears to get its best chance to achieve that elusive victory this week when it hosts Unley Mercedes Jets. Tim Broadbent, Michael Schwarz and Luke Radley have to make that happen though because the Jets will put up a fight as they are under pressure themselves to avoid it being only one season in Division 1.

Double chance prospects on line

t present Scotch OC and St Peters OC seem to be just off the pace of the top three in Division 2 but one can keep its slim double chance prospects alive when the two meet this week.

gained before the bye weekend continues when it hosts PHOS Camden on Saturday.

Both are two wins behind fellow collegiate clubs Sacred Heart OC and Old Ignatians and it would be a too greater deficit for the loser of this clash to reel back which makes it an important encounter on Saturday.

Nick Ramsey, Aaron Bergsma and Casey Beard of the Phantoms will be keen to bring them down a peg or two though.

Scotch OC faces this predicament after falling to SHOC two weeks ago while SPOC had a vital percentage boosting win over SMOSH West Lakes, with Christian Calabrese and Jordan Lockwood dictating play while Toby Schulz and Luke Trenorden kicked 13 goals between them. Sacred Heart OC will be hoping the momentum

Coming off State success should encourage Lachlan Button and Matthew Delmenico to higher rewards.

In the same position as SHOC, Old Iggies cannot afford any more lapses with top three challengers closing in so they will be eager to dispense Broadview with little fuss this week.

in touch with finals qualification is still on their agenda, particularly after the club’s appeal on a recruits’ points’ indiscretion failed. Modbury holds a slight buffer on the emerging pack which one would expect it to maintain this week when SMOSH West Lakes heads to the hills. Gaza could sneak back into the five with victory over Portland which should be enough to spur on Eagles Brett Heintze, Michael Pasiczynskyj and Liam Greig. BY STEPHEN O’LOUGHLIN

Kings primed to raid Rams

epps Cross will need everything going for it when it hosts Pembroke Old Scholars when the second part of the minor round kicks off this Saturday. Gepps is sitting eighth with two wins, its recent game a 33-point loss to Golden Grove. Daniel Mykytyschyn, Mark Boothey and Daniel Mason led the charge. The Kings are third with seven wins, their 110-point demolition of Walkerville evidence of their depth. Thomas Evans starred with 12 goals. Hard to see anything but a 62-80 point win to Pembroke. Flinders Park has been solid at the half-way mark of the season, sitting second with just the one loss and looks tough to beat against Kilburn. In its previous game Parks saw a solid finish to beat Mitcham by 35 points with Daniel Blythe (five goals), Matthew Morrell and Lee Allmond among the better players for the Reds. Kilburn has found the season tough and sits bottom with one win. Stephen Scally, Dylan Tippett and Jason Sandercock

were among the best for the Chics in their loss to Plympton. The Reds can open up scoring chances by 58-70 points. Golden Grove, sixth, takes on top side Athelstone in a key match at Harpers Field. The Kookaburras saw solid games from Nicholas Preston, Corey Pressler and Sam Gunning (six goals) in their win against Gepps Cross. The Raggies have been ultra impressive in their eight wins to sit on top. The Raggies edged out Seaton Ramblers by three points in their most recent round with Michael Newell, Matthew Leigh and Jonte Bates among the best. The Raggies look too settled here by 22-38 points. Plympton and Seaton Ramblers face another crunch game in a seventh versus fifth clash. The Bulldogs won a highscoring game against Kilburn by 12 points with Adrian Tan, Stuart Taverner and Heath Deer (three goals) leading the charge. The Rams were just pipped against Athelstone after leading by six goals at half

time. Todd Gates, Sean Coard and Darren Tremaine played strongly in their home game. The Rams can hit back here by 16-32 points. Walkerville is home to Mitcham in a ninth versus fourth clash. The Cats have found most opposition teams tough this season, two weeks ago crashing to Pembroke by 110 points. Tom Sinclair, Chris Scholefield and David Stobbe were handy for the Cats. Mitcham is playing a solid brand of football and has shown it is not far off the top bracket of teams. It matched Flinders Park before losing by 35 points with Dennis McEvoy, John Mason and James Daly leading the way. The Hawks look hot by 38-52 points. BY GORDON ARMSTRONG

Nine News Division 4

Magpies, Demon eyeing off top spot N orth Haven and Eastern Park could sit top of the ladder after their clash this week at Largs North. North Haven is top but and the Demons third but a win to Eastern Park could see it leap to the top. North Haven enjoyed a 68-point win against Kenilworth in the previous round with Brett Pederson, Mark Rowe and Tom Lipson (six goals) among the best. Eastern Park had the bye in the previous round but has enjoyed some top wins so far this season. A tough game to line up but the Magpies just may have the edge by 12-26 points.

Pooraka and Westminster Old Scholars are well apart on the ladder but the home side should go into this game with confidence at Lindblom Park. The Bulls kicked 21.8 to beat Hope Valley by 18 points with Adam Nitschke, Darren Sharp (five goals) and Chris Adams

(five goals) among their best. Westminster Old Scholars is fourth and set to pounce on the leading pack if it strings together a few more wins. Scott Blesing (four goals), Luke Malcolm and Daniel Wakelin were among the best for the Dragons in their recent win against Salisbury. Even away from home Westminster can get up by 16-34 points.

Colonel Light Gardens and Hope Valley still have a slight chance of making the finals with a win vital to their chances when they meet at Mortlock Park. The Lions have been around the mark in most games since being promoted to this grade. They lost to Edwardstown in the recent round with Corey Knight, Dale King and Daniel Scott-Collings leading the way. Hope Valley has lost several close games but has shown good form to suggest it is capable of causing an upset.

Nine News Division 5 Dolphins in must-win clash

BCOC will be hoping to face several do-or-die clashes to make the finals from its current position over the remaining of the season with its first coming up on Saturday. The Dolphins are sixth on the Division 5 ladder, two wins behind their weekend opponent Rosewater. It‘s a must-win contest if they are to stay in the hunt for the top five as a loss will make the task too great to accomplish. CBCOC gained a valuable percentage boost last round, beating Elizabeth by 105 points, but Jarrad McDonald and Jonty Rutai need to back it up again this week on neutral ground at Thebarton Oval. The Bulldogs pushed Smithfield before the break but found their opposition too strong. They could practically seal the top five as early as this week with victory here. Glenunga faces a similar contest against

second-placed Lockleys but its finals aspirations look beyond it. A surprise win could change those fortunes as long as the Dolphins also get up, but the Rams will need to be better than what they displayed against Hectorville last round. The Demons had no trouble in dismantling Pulteney, recording an enormous 151-point thrashing of their lowly opposition.

Jordan Persinos (six goals), Devin Payne and Wade Denham were solid in the side’s 18-point loss to Pooraka two weeks ago. The home ground should be a big help to the Lions by 14-28 points. Salisbury, at home, looks far too strong for winless Kenilworth. The Magpies have been up and down a little and sit fifth but not far off top place. They matched Westminster OS for three quarters before going down by 27 points with Ryan Wood, Scott McPherson and Shaun Rowe leading the way. Kenilworth was no match for North Haven to go down by 68 points at home in their most recent match. Aaron Eckermann, Nicholas Chesser and Andrew Liverton were among the best. No respite here for the Kookaburras with the Magpies home by 64-80 points BY GORDON ARMSTRONG

Luke Valente, Phuoc Vo and co will need to rise to the stakes on the line or William Michalanney and Danny Forde, among others at Hectorville, will gain the upper hand. It was a tight contest between the two Hounds’ groups in round two and no less would be expected here either. The Dragons’ finals hopes are another that depend on CBCOC winning to keep the margin to fifth manageable but they should be able to do their part against Elizabeth on Saturday.

Containing Lockleys Kade Boase and Simon Ascoli looks a tall order for Glenunga, even at home on Saturday.

Smithfield should record another victory when it meets Pulteney.

At the top of the table it would be to not get excited about the return clash between Blackfriars OS and Hectorville.

BY STEPHEN O’LOUGHLIN

Home ground advantage come finals time could be a deciding factor so winning such games has huge permutations for the future. Blackfrairs OS was woken from a mid-year slumber two weeks ago, just pinching the points against an impressive Greenacres.

Hawks, Cats in blockbuster

est Croydon and Woodville South could produce one of the matches of the season when they meet at Fawk Reserve on Saturday. The sides occupy the top two places on the ladder with the Hawks unbeaten (including a draw) and the Cats second with one loss. Stan Freeman stood tall for West Croydon when it beat Brahma Lodge by 61 points recently, while David Smith was best for the Cats in their recent win against Adelaide Lutheran. The Hawks tipped by 14-28 points. Houghton Districts hosts Mitchell Park in a seventh versus bottom match up. Jai McMurtrie was best for the Raiders when they lost to Trinity Old Scholars, while Bryn Zerna was among Mitchell Park’s best in its loss to Mawson Lakes. The Raiders here by 22-36 points. Mawson Lakes is home to Brahma Lodge in a vital game for both sides. The Saints are sixth but need plenty of percentage to keep pace with the top sides. Chheouth Ung led the way for Mawson against Mitchell Park, while Brahma Lodge saw a good game from

Darren Huitema in its 61-point loss to West Croydon. Brahma Lodge may have the edge by 16-32 points. Adelaide Lutheran also is under pressure to keep winning, a tough chore when it hosts third-placed Ingle Farm this week in a Bulldogs v Bulldogs game. The Lutheran Bulldogs had a shocker against Woodville South with just 1.5 to lose by 79 points with Jake Anspach their best. Ingle Farm has played solidly this season, Richard Mount solid in the side’s 15-point win against Fitzroy. Ingle Farm by 26-42 points. Trinity Old Scholars will be home to Fitzroy when the fifth and ninth teams of Lions meet. Trinity beat Houghton Districts by 57 points recently with Ben Ward leading the best. Fitzroy pushed Ingle Farm to go down by 15 points as Harry Hutchison stood tall. Trinity looks to have the edge here by 20-34 points. BY GORDON ARMSTRONG

ALDI Division 7

Falcons and Reds have duel battles

ust like in the top flight of the competition, Payneham Norwood Union and Prince Alfred OC face each other in Division 7 this week.

They are at different ends of the ladder here though with the Falcons lacking the competitiveness to match much of its opposition at this level. This should then see the Reds hang onto its crucial position at second on the ladder but games will become even more critical for them over coming weeks. Unley Mercedes Jets has been on a downward spiral recently, losing to Central United before the break.

Central United’s and St Pauls OS’s spirits are rising as their finals dreams revitalise with those above them dropping off. It has placed more impetus on their clash at St Pauls College this week. Seeing whether Adelaide University can match Division 7 powerhouse Salisbury West will be interesting on Saturday. At home, the Blacks can make it difficult for their more fancied opponents, particularly following an extended break having had two weeks off, but Tigers Steven Wellington, Adam Jones and Sam Biggs are sure to be primed for this clash.

Flinders University will be out to stop its own demise as well against the Jets this week and hold onto its spot in the top four.

MOTORSPORT

The championship heads to Hidden Valley in Darwin this weekend where Reynolds won in 2015 in the Bottle-O Ford Falcon and has scored three poles in three years. Reynolds declared he was ready for this weekend’s ‘Triple Crown’ after claiming just his second top10 finish at Winton last round. Hidden Valley has traditionally been a place where his season really gets motoring. Last year he entered the event ninth in the drivers’ championship and it springboarded him to third in the 2015 championship. It was also the venue where he took the chequered flag first in the opening 60km segment of the 2013 60/60 race but was not credited with what would have been his first win because the race had only reached ‘half-time’. In the ‘second half’ he was punted off by teammate Mark Winterbottom, losing his chance of victory. “Darwin is my favourite track and this is one of my favourite races,” Reynolds said.

Reynolds will be in his new team’s Commodore this year though, which showed strong form at Winton four weeks ago when charging home for sixth. “Darwin might be the same (as Winton) because they are both quite high grip tracks,” Reynolds said. Reynolds said the result had provided a vital boost for the team and for him.

DION HAYMAN’S SUPER QUIZ ONE POINT WARM-UPS 1. Matthew Nicks is an assistant coach for which AFL team? 2. How many disposals did Patrick Dangerfield have against North Melbourne?

3. Who has blamed the astroturf perimeter at Etihad Stadium for his ankle injury? 4. Did Andrew Bogut ever play in the NBL? 5. Who were the Thunderbirds’ first victims this season?

TWO POINT PONDERS

“The car was so good by Sunday that if I had qualified in the 10 I would have been in the top three easily,” he said.

6. Who scored 44 goals from 49 attempts for the T-birds?

“That result gives every one in our team the ability to think we are on the right track and if we just keep doing what we are doing then should keep pushing further up the order.”

9. Who is buried at Cave Hill Cemetery, Louisville, Kentucky?

While it finished on a high, Winton was a mixed bag for Reynolds and Betty Klimenko’s team which continues to rebuild and re-establish itself after moving from Queensland to Melbourne, hiring a virtually all-new crew and swapping from Mercedes to Holden. No driver has ever claimed the ‘Triple Crown’ in Darwin since it was first introduced in 2006. This weekend to achieve it, a driver will have to win both races plus record the fastest time in the Sunday Top 10 Shootout.

IT’s a joke WHY IS BASKETBALL the grossest sport there is? Because they dribble all over the court I WENT TO an emotional wedding the other day. Even the cake was in tiers. WHAT PART OF a football ground is never the same? The changing rooms!

10. Who captained St Kilda last week in Nick Riewoldt’s absence?

THREE POINT PLAYS 11. Who is the CEO of the AFL Players’ Association? 12. Which UFC fighter has become the first to make Forbes’ list of highest paid athletes? 13.

Glenn McGrath became Test wicket’s leading wicket-taker in 2005 at the SCG against which opponent?

FOUR POINT BONUS 16. Which two players did Geelong end up with as compensation for losing Gary Ablett? 17. The Belmont Stakes is run in which American city? 18. In tennis, name the only woman to win a grand slam in singles since Margaret Court in 1970. 19. Name the only other man besides Rod Laver to have completed a grand slam in singles.

rebus Motorsport driver David Reynolds is looking forward to taking some momentum to his favourite track on the Supercar calendar.

“I always go better in the second half of the year. The first half of the year you might as well write me off. I don’t know why. Maybe it takes me a while to get over my Christmas hang-over.”

Reynolds’ momentum on the rise
