If this match is not a draw, this will be the final Under 17s match, the competition started in 1939 as the Junior Colts. Since 1974 it has been known as the Under 17s, which was around the time that the SANFL themselves took control of the competition. Before that, the SANFL teams took part, but it was independently run.

Head to head:
Played 162: Port 105 Sturt 57
Finals 9: Port 5 Sturt 4
Grand Finals 2: Port 1 Sturt 1

This is third Grand Final that these Under 17s clubs will meet in, in 1949 Sturt won 8.11 to 6.5 and in 1961 when Port won 11.9 to 6.10. This year, Port have been the only team to have beaten the Sturt side:
Rd 9: Sturt 10.10 Port 7.17
Rd 22: Port 8.10 Sturt 7.15
2SF: Port 15.8 Sturt 14.10

You would imagine that Sturt would be mighty keen to avenge for their last quarter two weeks ago at Woodville, but Port seem to know their game. One thing is for sure, this match will be a beauty.

The last game that these two teams played at Woodville was lost by Sturt and was not won by Port.

Interesting that Port kicked 10 last quarter goals but you are suggesting that had no influence on the result..... obviously a very good judge....

[Slots It Through]

Will be a great game, absolutely nothing between these teams. Sturt were very impressive on the weekend against North. O'Malley was very good in the middle and the forwards for Sturt presented well all day.
North didnt pay much respect to Sturt and allowed them far too much room.
You wouldnt think Port would make that mistake this weekend.

Obviously putting words into my mouth now. I never said that and I am not suggesting that the 10 goals kicked by Port had no influence on the result, of course it had an influence, it's just that Sturt had no respect for their opponents, they didn't man up, they didn't tackle, they didn't chase, these things helped Sturt lose the match.

Sturt lost 2 games throughout the season in the 17's, both the Port, reckon this could be a cracker, saw Sturt beat our 17's last week and were not that impressive after 1/4 time, Port by 2 points

Until the SANFL decide to revert back to an U17 comp in 10 years time...

Sturt up by 8 goals a few minutes into the last quarter

Gee , I thoughts Ports height and better structures would see them get home in the big one, well done Sturt if they can hold the lead.

[Barto]

Sturt 18.4
Port 14. 8

Into time on.

[MightyEagles]

Sturt has been the best team all year, so it's no surprise to me.
