Orthopaedics SA Under-18s Match Report

South Adelaide vs Glenelg
Round 15 - Flinders University Stadium - 28/07/19

Goals: Sladojevic 6, Freitag, Horne, Ryan, Barrett 2, Riddle, McCreery, Oliver, Cook
Best: Horne, Freitag, Kraemer, Sladojevic, Clifton, Cook,

South Adelaide Under-18s continue on with recent form by taking down the Tigers by 63-points on Sunday morning. 

Coming into round 15, we were preparing for a tough match up against Glenelg.

We have played them twice already this season, having lost both times, by 5 points in round 2 and 2 points in round 10.

We had three forced changes this week again due to college football. 

This was three of our better players form the last game in Matthew Roberts, Marcus Lippett and Zac Dumesny.

This gave an opportunity for us to bring a couple of new players into the team.

After strong performance in our under 17 school holiday state youth championship squad, we choose Brayden Cook and Tom Barrett (both from Happy Valley FC) to make their debut for South Adelaide's Under-18s. 

Lachlan Williams was called up to our reserves, and another Happy Valley player Jack Flett played his second game for the year, this time across half back.

The typical trend continued as we lost the toss and kicked against the breeze for the first quarter.

Within the first minute Glenelg had a shot and missed. We then transitioned the ball with good ball movement to create an opportunity but also missed.

Glenelg then kicked the next two goals to give them a 12-point lead before first gamer Tom Barrett kicked his and our first. 

We then kicked our second through Daniel Sladojevic to bring the score back level, but Glenelg again kicked away with the next two.

Damon Freitag kicked his first and although we had hit all our KPI's we went into quarter time 6 points down.

In the second quarter we had what breeze there was and made the most of it.

We controlled the footy, had good field position, but didn't finish as well as we would have liked kicking 5.5 for the quarter.

The positive was nine players hit the score board, so we weren't relying on too few, everyone was contributing.

The backs did an amazing job limiting Glenelg to one inside-50 for the quarter.

We started the third quarter okay kicking the first two through Sladojevic and Cook 

I think we then became too comfortable and went away from our plan slightly, which good sides can take advantage of and Glenelg did, kicking three for the quarter to match us. 

The unselfish Jason Horne put the ball in a dangerous position that saw Ben Ryan mark and goal from the square, extending our half time lead to 38 points.

In the last quarter, we shared the ball with Glenelg with some of the stats looking even except when we went forward.

We looked dangerous having nine shots at goal and kicking 6.3 to Glenelg kicking 2.2.

Again, we had multiple avenues to goal with five goal scorers for the quarter and nine goal scorers for the game.

A 63-point win was a great result, the team looked close and preformed well for most of the day.

Only three games to go and we now sit 4th on the ladder (only on percentage), if we continue our current form, we will play finals.

Goals: Davis 3, Cross, Heaslip, Overall, Karpany, Biemans, Whittlesea, Milsom
Best: Karpany, Rose, Cross, Crabb, Haines, Milsom
Injuries: Nil

South Adelaide were no match for the AFL laden Magpies; with a costly third quarter seeing the Panthers fall to a 28-point loss at Flinders University Stadium on Sunday.

The Panthers kept in contention for the first half; going into halftime with a slight 5.4 (34) to 6.5 (41) deficit.

However, Port Adelaide booted eight goals to the Panthers one during the third quarter to set up the 10.11 (71) to 15.9 (99) defeat.

The signs didn't look good early as the Magpies kicked the first two goals of the match.

However, the Panthers were able to steady thanks to a goal by Sam Overall (eight disposals, three tackles and four marks).

Not long later, Thomas Whittlesea (11 disposals, four tackles and three marks) kicked truly to send the Panthers into the first break tied at 2.2 (14) each.

Just three minutes into the second quarter; the Panthers kept the momentum going with a goal by Ben Heaslip (15 disposals, four tackles and five inside 50s).

But once again; Port Adelaide were able to kick back to back goals to stop the Panthers from creating any buffer over the visitors.

Reece Milson kicked his first senior SANFL goal midway through the quarter. Milson would go on to finish the match with 17 disposals, four marks and two clearances in a strong performance.

Port Adelaide would reply just two minutes later before Malcolm Karpany (22 disposals, four marks and seven clearances) could kick his first of the game.

Matt Rose was impressive during his 150th game; collecting 30 disposals, seven marks and nine tackles.

Motlop would kick his second goal of the game for Port Adelaide to send the Panthers into halftime with a narrow seven-point deficit.

Port Adelaide would continue with the same momentum in the third quarter; kicking three unanswered goals in the first six minutes of play.

Tyson Brown (19 disposals, three marks and four rebound 50s) and Joseph Haines (18 disposals, six marks and eight rebound 50s) were impressive down back and against quality opposition.

Joel Cross (24 disposals, seven marks and six inside 50s) managed to stem the flow with a goal midway through the quarter.

However, the Panthers would struggle to contain Port's AFL listed players as the Magpies went on to kick five unanswered goals to finish the quarter.

Motlop opened the fourth quarter with his fourth goal of the game; however, the Panthers refused to roll over.

Abe Davis (19 disposals, five marks and two clearances) opened his account with his first goal of the game. He would go on to kick another two straight goals late in the quarter.

On the back of Davis's three goals; Anthony Biemans (nine disposals, four tackles and two marks) kicked his first of the game but it was too late with the Panthers falling to a 10.11 (71) to 15.9 (99) defeat.

South Adelaide now face Central Districts at X Convenience Oval (Elizabeth) on Saturday, August 3 from 1:10pm.

MRS Property Reserves Match Report

South Adelaide @ Glenelg
Round 15 - ACH Group Stadium - 27/07/19

Goals: Bogle 3, Wilkinson, Emery 2, Fitzgerald, Sampson, Coleman, Juckers, Beeche
Best: Sampson, Bogle, Colwell, Loneragan, Coleman, Tucker
Injuries: Nil

A tale of two halves saw the South Adelaide Reserves mount an outstanding comeback to beat Glenelg by 35 points at ACH Group Stadium on Saturday.

Things weren't going to plan with the Panthers heading into halftime facing a 2.7 (19) to 7.2 (44) deficit.

However, the Panthers would hold Glenelg to just one more goal for the rest of the match while they managed to boot ten goals of their own to come out on top with a 12.15 (87) to 8.4 (52) victory.

South Adelaide kicked the first goal of the game after just one minute of play thanks to Hayden Sampson (34 disposals, four marks and eight inside 50s).

But this would be the last goal for the Panthers until Eamon Wilkinson (12 disposals, four tackles and four marks) kicked truly at the eighteenth minute mark of the second quarter.

During this time Glenelg had managed to kick five goals and would go on to kick another two goals before halftime.

Coming out after halftime; the Panthers needed to do plenty of work and fast.

Luke Bogle (21 disposals, seven tackles and four clearances) answered the call and kicked the first goal of the quarter after just fifty seconds of play.

Joel Beech (six disposals ad four inside 50s) would follow up just two minutes later with his first goal of the game.

Bogle would kick his second goal the game to give the Panthers three quick goals in just the first five minutes.

A goal midway through the quarter by 2018 U18 Best and Fairest Danny Juckers (15 disposals and four tackles) sent the Panthers into the final break with a 6.14 (50) to 7.3 (45) lead.

Despite holding a slight lead; the Panthers had to do plenty of work in the final quarter to ensure their victory.

Bogle kicked his third goal of the game after just one minute of play then Tate Coleman (20 disposals, seven marks and five inside 50s) followed with his first of the match.

Just one minute later; Kyle Emery (14 disposals and six clearances) booted his first of the day.

Jack Fitzgerald (eight disposals and two marks) became Souths eighth goal kicker of the game with his first.

Wilkinson and Emery would both go on to kick their second goals of the game before Glenelg managed to kick their first since the twenty-fifth-minute mark of the second quarter.

But by then it was all over and the Panthers came out on top with a 12.15 (87) to 8.4 (52) win.

South Adelaide Reserves now sit just two games out of the top five and will now face Central Districts at X Convenience Oval (Elizabeth) on Saturday, August 3 from 10:30am.

South Adelaide Co-Captain Matt Rose notches up his 150th league match on Sunday against the Magpies.

Largs Bay native Matt Rose will line up for his 150th SANFL StateWide Super League match on Sunday, which is fittingly against his old side in Port Adelaide. 

Having made his debut in Round 2, 2010 for the Magpies, Rose went on to play 50 League matches over 4 seasons.

Crossing over to the Panthers at the start of the 2014 season due to the Magpies/Power merger, Rose has bloomed to become an integral part of the South Adelaide backline.  

Rose slotted in from the get-go by claiming the Mark Rawlins Memorial Trophy (Runner-Up Best & Fairest) in 2015. 

His consistency continued by being named the Best In Finals for his part in the 2016 campaign, off the back of a stand out year where he averaged 24 disposals a game, a career-high.

However, perhaps the greatest honour was when Rose was named Co-Captain with Joel Cross for 2019. 

Since joining the Panthers, Rose's leadership was evident by being a part of the leadership group in his second season, followed by being named Vice-Captain for the next three years. 

At the back end of his 6th season at Noarlunga, the 27-year-old is enjoying another consistent year across the half-back line, averaging 22 disposals a game.

Congratulations Rosey on 150 outstanding games. Here is to many more to come!

Get down to Flinders University Stadium on Sunday to help celebrate Rosey's 150th!

Orthopaedics SA Under-18s Match Report

South Adelaide vs Norwood
Round 14 - ACH Group Stadium - 21/07/19

Goals: McCreery 6, Sladojevic 4, Kraemer 3, Freitag, Roberts 2, Riddle
Best: Freitag, Kraemer, Douglass, Clifton, Horne, Sladojevic

South Adelaide Under-18s make a big statement by getting past the Redlegs on Sunday morning. 

Only 4 games to go in the season and we currently sit one game out of the finals, still needing to win every week from here on in.

Playing Norwood at Glenelg, we expected it to be a hard match up on a neutral ground, which is closer to the size of the parade than the size of Flinders University Stadium.

We had three very good ins for us this week with Jason Horne, Arlo Draper and Matthew Roberts back from State under 16 duties. Matthew Roberts made his debut in the Under 18s, Hayden Kernahan and Ben Ryan also came into the side.

We were confident the team was good enough, but we would need to stick to the way we wanted to play for four quarters.

In the typical trend, we again lost the toss and went against the breeze for the first quarter, but within a minute, we had kicked the first goal from our first inside 50 when Roberts handballed out to the running Mitch Riddle who finished.

Norwood kicked the next two before we got two late ones, Horne intercepted a Norwood switch and unselfishly passed to Nick Kraemer who kicked his first.

Not long later Kraemer kicked his second from a forward stoppage to give us a three-point lead at the first change.

The first quarter was very congested with 25 stoppages, now in the second quarter we had the wind we wanted to open the game up and it worked.

We played most of the game in our front half having 12 more inside 50s for the quarter and kicked 5 goals with Beau McCreery kicking two and singles to Daniel Sladojevic and Damon Freitag while Kraemer kicked his third.

This put us 29-points up at half time and in control of the game.

The third quarter is where we have fallen apart at times this year, so we had a big focus on sticking to our plan.

We had one structure breakdown which resulted in a goal, but for the most part we defended very well and were able to score in offence.

We managed to kick two goals for the quarter with McCreery kicking his third and Freitag marking and kicking his second late, but we missed other opportunities which would have put the game out of reach.

Heading into the last quarter we had a focus on finishing the game off, we wanted to win all four quarters, something we have not been able to do much this year.

Sladojevic started to mark the ball and covert kicking 3 for the quarter to give him four for the game.

McCreery continued to look dangerous both in the air and at ground level, who also kicked three for the quarter to give him a total of six. First gamer Matthew Roberts got some reward for his efforts kicking two for the quarter.

This gave us an eight-goal quarter, one of our best for the year, largely generated from how well we defended.

This was as good as I have seen the boys play and it should give them some confidence going into another must win game against the bays this week at home.
