SA Footy

The SA U18 State Team kicks off its national carnival assault this weekend when it travels to Perth to play WA U18s at 2.20pm as the curtain raiser to the AFL Fremantle v Richmond game at Subiaco.

The final team of 22, plus one emergency, for the game will be announced tonight.

SA's next game will be the following Saturday 6 June 2009 v QLD U18s at 12.30pm at the Purser Oval in Sydney.

Big ask for the lads to get the result in front of what (at some stage) will be a parochial home crowd you would expect.

Best of luck to the boys for both the state, and in their own quest for higher football honours.

When and where do they play here, and a start time if anyone has got the info?

I don't think there's any games here this time around.

Anyone got any scores and/or details of the game?

Read on BigFooty that we got done by 40 points, no other details

So despite the talk that we have numerous top line draftees in SA this year, we send a bunch of players over who are not playing against older bodies and get rolled... R&B, Tas, game on fellas...

This U18/16 change was to compete better in these championships, right?

WESTERN Australia has burst out of the blocks to open its NAB AFL Under-18 Championships campaign, dominating South Australia in a 47-point win.

Held as the curtain raiser to Fremantle's clash with Richmond at Subiaco Oval, WA opened up a 35-point lead early in the second quarter to set up the 19.12 (126) to 12.7 (79) victory.

Though SA showed plenty of determination to get back to within eight points early in the third, WA kicked eight of the next 10 goals.

David Swallow (27 possessions) was the star for WA in the middle, while small forward Brandon Matera was a livewire in attack finishing with 4.4.

Matera, the son of former West Coast and Fitzroy player Wally, showcased a booming left-foot kick and also worked up the ground for 19 possessions.

AIS/AFL academy member Jack Darling also finished with four goals for WA, while Anthony Morabito booted two and provided plenty of run and carry for the Sandgropers with his 19 touches.

For SA, Jack Trengove fought hard and finished with a game-high 31 disposals, while Alex Carey (21) and Matthew Panos (thee goals and eight marks) put in eye-catching displays.

Carey's first half was particularly impressive – the mature-bodied midfielder displaying courage and an uncompromising attack on the ball – but he faded in the second.

WA's Mitchell Duncan provided the highlight of the one-sided match, taking a super pack mark late in the fourth and converting the set shot from hard up on the boundary line.

There were a number of famous football blood-lines involved, with SA's Wanganeen and WA's Kane Lucas, Nicholas Winmar, Anthony Collica, Clinton Garlett the other familiar names.

Western Australia 5.1 8.2 14.6 19.12 (126)
South Australia 1.2 5.6 7.6 12.7 (79)

GOALS
WA: Matera 4, Darling 4, Duncan 2, Houghton 2, Lucas 2, Morabito 2, Collica, Foster, Garlett
SA: Panos 3, Giddings 2, Lycett 2, Tapscott 2, Carey, Silverlock, Sumner

BEST
WA: Swallow, Matera, Morabito, Darling, Lucas, Collica
SA: Trengove, Carey, Jolly, Panos, Wanganeen

Mate I think my views are well known but to be fair lets see how the whole championship pans out as the impact on the 18s "performances" with the change from the 17s 19s wasn't going to be large IMO compared to impact on the next tier down and the development of future league footballers - the ones that take longer to develop.

The good players (draftees) will always make it the less talented ones that need more time in our club system are teh ones that miss out.

Who is that Tas bloke???

Fair comments, am Bays.

I think we'll all wait until more than 9 or 10 games in season 1 to judge that.

Is there any evidence that sticks can coach under age football at all
At his behest the whole system was changed
And we still get smashed
Time to go brenton

Is it correct that Travis Lane could not get into this team?

Lane was listed in the local paper as being in the main squad. Considering he's played at League level I'm surprised he couldn't get into the final team.

That team sent over was a joke.

Sorry but sticks or whoever selected that team has to go. The selections this year has been worxe than any other year. The year they have a real chance of being competative at the championships was ruined at the selection table.

Whoever gets the job next make sure you pick players who can kick the football.

Namer your side then - who would be in & out from the Perth 22?
