Under-18s Match Report

South Adelaide vs Sturt
Round 10 - Peter Motley Oval - 17/06/18

South Adelaide	0.2	2.3	5.6	6.9	45
Sturt	2.3	3.6	4.6	5.9	39

Goals: Renney 2, Spinks, Jones, Freitag, Marshman
Best: Davies, Bogle, Renney, Lovering, Coulthard, Marshman

Our Under-18's claimed a hard-fought win over Sturt at Unley Oval on Saturday.

This week we played Sturt for the second week in a row and for the third time this year.

We travelled to a wet and slippery Unley Oval in average conditions, but were able to win a close, hard fought, contested game; running out 6.9 (45) to 5.9 (39) winners.

We had nine changes going into this week, including another two players playing their first game with the Under-18s in Zac Dowling and Under-16 Shannon Jones.

Robert Irra was able to play due to our Reserves having a bye and Nic Robertson played his first game in our Under-18s for almost 12 months after breaking his leg last year.

The first quarter we looked like we were going to score a few times, but could not finish off the hard work of our mids and backs.

Tyler Davies lead the way with 10 disposals and seven tackles, which set the scene of how the day was going to be competed.

Going into halftime, we hit the sheds down only nine points and were lucky Sturt didn't capitalise on a couple of late opportunities.

With the conditions being so poor, goals were at a premium and we had handed Sturt two of their three goals of the back of two 25m penalties.

In the third quarter we addressed our over use of the footy and played more direct, which paid of with us kicking 3.3 to Sturt's 1.0 and gave us a six-point lead going into the last quarter.

The last quarter went much the same as the rest of the game with repeat stoppages and both teams having chances but not being able to finish as well as they would like.

With about two-and-a-half minutes to go and the score tied, we were on the good end of an anti-density rule which gave Bailey Marshman a shot for goal to put us six points up.

The last couple of minutes we got numbers around the contest and were able to bottle the game up.

Felt like we got out of jail with that one, but pleasingly another win that holds us in second on the ladder.

Next week we play Central District again on Saturday morning at Hickinbotham Oval.

South Adelaide has registered their largest winning margin of the season after a 112-point dismantling of Adelaide during their White Ribbon clash at Hickinbotham Oval on Sunday afternoon.

The Panthers were impressive from go to whoa as they outclassed a depleted Crows outfit in a comprehensive four quarter performance.

The hosts put their foot down early and never looked back, as they stormed to their third win on the trot and leapfrogged into third position on the SANFL Macca's League ladder.

While it was the Crows opening the scoring through development player Dom Costanzo, South would pile on the next 12 goals without an answer before Adelaide could kick their second major in the seventh minute of the third term.

The old firm in Nick Liddle and Joel Cross ran riot throughout the afternoon, gathering an incredible 75 possessions, 15 clearances and seven goals between them.

Working off of the stoppage dominance of Keegan Brooksby, who registered 45 hits (20 to advantage) despite sharing ruck duties with Alex Aurrichio (35 hit outs), the Panthers got their hands on the footy 200 times more than their opponents, racking up 413 total disposals to 213, with 15 players registering 18 possessions or more.

Alongside Liddle and Cross, emerging midfielders Abe Davis (30 touches, eight clearances and two goals) and Ben Heaslip (29 possessions and a goal) were also heavy hitters on the day.

Meanwhile, young defender Tyson Brown continues to grow as a rebounding defender. Given more licence to attack off of halfback since Matt Rose went down with a shoulder injury, Brown has enjoyed a strong recent run off form and added 25 touches and a goal to his 2018 record in another strong display.

Dominating the stoppages and possession count, South got the ball inside 50 early and often (55 forward entries to 29) and accurate conversion in front of goals helped them record their largest winning margin since Round 20, 2006.

Adelaide fought admirably despite the growing deficit and increasing casualty ward that left them with no rotations for the final term. AFL-listed pair Curtly Hampton (23 touches and 13 tackles) and Lachlan Murphy (16 and 10) could hold their heads high after competing all afternoon.

However, their effort and intent was equally matched by the Panthers, who did not let up until the final siren.

Despite the margin already sitting at 76 entering the final frame, South kept their foot down and slotted eight goals straight in the final term to register a record margin over Adelaide.

Especially pleasing for the Panthers was the contribution of home grown debutants Coby Helyar and Jackson Elmes.

Elmes, from Victor Harbor in the GSFL, was a late inclusion for big-bodied Anthony Biemans (hamstring tightness) and made an immediate impact as he kicked his first league goal in the opening minutes.

Dudley United (KIFL) product Helyar also enjoyed a special moment in the final term as his first League major helped his side raise the bat and bring up the triple figure margin with a coolly converted set shot.

Post game, Jarrad Wright expressed how impressed he had been with South's young players stepping up and contributing this season, with Helyar and Elmes becoming the fifth and sixth player debuted from the club's junior programs this season.

Wright also declared the club was in an enviable position to be enjoying positive results on the field and also have several players competing for spots in the League side.

Even more positive was the clean bill of health reported after the game, with the Panthers also possibly welcoming back Nathan Kreuger, Liam Fitt and Biemans next week, with Tom Whittlesea and Rose also waiting in the wings.

After enjoying the comfort of Hickinbotham Oval for three of the last four weeks, South now prepare for the largest road trip in the SANFL as they trek to My Money House Oval to tackle Central District in the Mayor's Cup this Saturday, June 23.

Panthers host Crows at Hickinbotham Oval

Fresh off an impressive win over the reigning premiers, South Adelaide play host to the SANFL Crows in Noarlunga this Sunday.

The Panthers will make at least three changes to the side that knocked off Sturt on the Queen's Birthday.

Young forwards Nathan Kreuger (concussion) and Liam Fitt (suspension) were unavailable for selection, while 17-year-old Tate Coleman has been named in the South Australia Under-18s side that will take on Victoria Country at Adelaide Oval on Sunday.

Veteran small defender Scott Taylor is the only confirmed inclusion at this stage, named in a back pocket for his first SANFL Macca's League game of the season.

Once again, Jarrad Wright is keeping his options open at the selection table.

Man mountain Alex Aurrichio and the pacy Connor Fairlie could give the Panthers forward line two very different looks.

Meanwhile, two more Panthers juniors could be unleashed as potential debutants, as midfielder Coby Helyar (19, 188cm, 84kg) and forward Jackson Elmes (18, 187cm, 85kg) give Wright further flexibility.

Helyar, originally from Dudley United in the Kangaroo Island Football League, has impressed in his nine Reserves games this season, leading the Panthers goalkicking from the midfield.

Elmes (Victor Harbor - GSFL) has made an early impression during his first senior campaign with the Reserves as a strong-marking forward.

All four will need to survive the shortening of an extended interchange to line up against the Crows.

While there will be no Reserves game this weekend, but get to the game early to see some of the Southern Football League's talented youngsters in action.

Two curtain raisers between Port Noarlunga and Morphett Vale (10.30am) and Reynella and Aldinga's (12.00pm) Under-13s sides will be played before the League action kicks off at 2.10pm.
