MONDAY: Under 18 Macca’s Cup wrap-up
sportMessenger News25 May 09 @ 09:00am by Reece Homfray
TOUGH, hard, in-and-under midfielders dominate SA’s team that starts the under-18 national championships this weekend.

Coach Brenton Phillips will on Wednesday night name 23 players from his squad of 40 to fly to Perth to tackle WA at Subiaco on Saturday.

And talented on-ballers, known for their attack on the footy, are expected to lead the way.

``That’s usually where our best footballers come from the midfield,’’ Phillips said.

This year’s side boasts several League footballers including North Adelaide’s Luke Tapscott, Port Adelaide’s Zane Kirkwood and West Adelaide’s Taite Silverlock all hard nuts.

The squad had its final warm up against the state under-20 side on the weekend and Phillips said selection for the match against WA would be difficult.

``It’s going to be very tough to get a gig,’’ he said.

``40 into 23 doesn’t go very well, so those who are playing well (in the trial games and for their clubs) will get first look at it.’’

SA won two games last year and finished the national championships in third spot behind Victoria Metro and Western Australia led by No.1 and No.2 draft picks in waiting, Jack Watts and Nicholas Naitanui.

But while the four-week carnival is the best chance young draft prospects have to impress AFL recruiters, Phillips wants his side to remain team-oriented.

``They’re playing very good team football so far and that’s what we’ve been preaching to the group getting our team structures right,’’ he said.

``We need to focus on the team to be successful at the carnival.’’

SA’s draw for the national championships is May 30 v WA at Subiaco Oval; June 6 v QLD at Purser Reserve; June 14 v Vic Country at AAMI Stadium; June 26 v NSW/ACT at Optus Oval; July 1 v Vic Metro at Telstra Dome.

u 18'S: WA TOO STRONG FOR SA
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

U18s: SA ends Vic Country's run

4:19 PM Sun 14 June, 2009

SOUTH Australia has ended Vic Country’s unbeaten run at the NAB AFL Under-18s Championships with an upset 51-point win at AAMI Stadium on Sunday.

The home side led from start to finish in a masterful display of wet-weather football.

The Croweaters, through the help of usual suspects Jack Trengove, Alex Carey and Hayden Jolly, kicked four goals to one in the opening term to lead by 15 points at the first break.

The rain set in during the second quarter, but it failed to derail South Australia.

Taite Silverlock and Matthew Panos combined for five majors as the underdogs piled on seven goals straight for the term.

Goals to Vic Country duo David Astbury and Josh Cowan helped the visitors save some face, but the margin was still 43 points at the main break.

The weather subsided in the third quarter, but only two goals were added to the scoreboard and the South Aussies held onto a 44-point break at the final change.

Strong marking forward Andrew Hooper got Vic Metro off to a good start with a goal in the opening minutes of the last quarter, but a fourth to Panos snuffed out any hope of a comeback.

SA skipper Trengove continued his brilliant carnival with another 27 possessions, seven clearances and three goals in a little over three quarters of football.

Silverlock racked up 20 touches and six inside50ms to go with his bag of three and Derek Wanganeen showed glimpses of brilliance in his 25 disposals.

Simon Potts and Daniel Menzel were solid in defence.

For Vic Country, Ben Cunnington battled hard for 19 possessions and a goal and Astbury and Andrew Hooper were lively.

South Australia 4.1 11.1 12.5 16.9 (105)
Vic Country 1.4 3.6 4.9 7.12 (54)

GOALS
South Australia: Panos 4, Trengove, Silverlock 3, Carey, Solly 2, Wilson, Tapscott Vic Country: Hooper 3, Cunnington, Astbury, Cowan, Mackenzie

BEST
South Australia: Trengove, Wanganeen, Jolly, Silverlock, Panos, Carey, Potts, Menzel
Vic Country: Cunnington, Astbury, Hooper, Rohan, Peters


Maybe two All Australian's on the way?

South Australia too strong for Metro

SOUTH Australia has rounded out its NAB AFL Under-18 Championships in style with a gutsy win over Vic Metro at Docklands on Wednesday.

Despite failing to kick a goal in the opening term, South Australia took control in the second and third terms before fighting off a late challenge to win 10.13 (73) to 9.7 (61).

Both teams went into the clash knowing they couldn’t win the Division 1 title, with unbeaten Western Australian having sewn that up earlier in the day.

But, as there always is when the two states meet, there was plenty of pride on the line and with AFL recruiters camped in every corner of Docklands, much to prove.

Many eyes were on highly-touted pair Tom Scully (Vic Metro) and Jack Trengove (SA) – both tipped to be prospective top-three draft picks later this year.

Both players enjoyed solid outings, with the Victorian midfielder particular impressive.

He was forced to leave the field with a bloody nose after just a few minutes but after almost 10 minutes and some repair work, he returned sporting a head bandage and new jumper.

He finished the match with a game-high 27 possessions and kicked a classy goal in the third term after getting on the end of a chain of handballs, displaying the hard running that was a feature of his game.

Trengove’s highlights package could be isolated to the first half, as he was well held after the main break. However he was instrumental in helping South Australia boot 5.4 to just 0.1 in the second quarter, erasing a 15-point deficit at the first change in the process.

His positioning and contested work impressed, while he also looks to possess a certain x-factor.

While Trengove faded, others stepped up. Alex Carey, who looked to be running with Scully, had 21 touches – 10 of them contested, while Hayden Jolly (21 disposals and 2.3) was lively around the ball or in attack.

The strongly-built Luke Tapscott (three goals) also impressed near goal, landing some long-range bombs.

For Vic Metro, Ben Jacobs (24 disposals, 10 contested possessions) and Daniel Talia (24 possessions) worked hard, while Josh Toy looks ready for AFL football.

While only 185cm, Toy’s long, penetrating kicking from defence is reminiscent of now-Bomber Michael Hurley.

Jake Carlisle kept presenting and finished the match with four goals, a good reward for his effort and work ethic.

However it wasn’t enough for Vic Metro, with South Australia holding firm to win the final match of the day to ensure they finished second in the Division 1 race.

Vic Metro 3.2 3.3 5.7 9.7 (61)
South Australia 0.5 5.9 8.11 10.13 (73)

GOALS
Vic Metro: Carlisle 4, Fitzpatrick, Gaff, Hoegel, Moore, Scully
South Australia: Tapscott 3, Jolly 2, Silverlock 2, Evans, Panos, Pitt

BEST
Vic Metro: Scully, Jacobs, Talia, Carlisle, Gaff, Toy
South Australia: Jolly, Carey, Tapscott, Sumner, Trengove, Potts, Silverlock



Glenelg Men one and two!


And maybe both heading towards AA?
