Hi Footy fans...
The call of the Adelaide Oval is getting louder and louder now... just two more rounds of the regular season to go. The focus over the last couple of weeks has been well and truly on the men of Brighton Road, the Tigers' best football hasn't been very visible after only just escaping the Bloods and a challenging outing against the Roosters. Prior to that of course was their defeat to the Crows, which looks to have thrown more than a shudder into their camp. The Blues could still take advantage of that stumble and nick the minor premiership if the Tigers cop another loss, but its the Crows who made some huge noise after their shellacking of the Magpies, who like the Bulldogs, are clinging desperately to those Elimination Final spots. But I must digress, as this week was very much overshadowed by the loss of a player taken all too soon. The SANFL, the Norwood Football Club, if not the football world, was rocked at the untimely death of 2022 premiership player Nick Lowden at the age of 23. At first the cause was not made public, but it has since emerged that mental health issues, stemming from a concussion sustained back in his time in the Victorian U-18 competition, was perhaps the beginning of his problems. Has the dark shadow of CTE struck again? It would certainly seem as such, with horrifying reminders of West Adelaide's Shane Tuck only three years ago. One can only hope that major strides in research into this horrible issue are made, before more footballers lives are taken before their time. May he rest in peace.
Welcome to the Round 17 edition of the SANFL Wrap-Up.
The first of three Saturday afternoon matches takes us to the eastern side of town and into the Coopers Stadium in Norwood, where the Redlegs faced the Panthers. These two mobs last met back in Round 9, the Redlegs' first premiership points coming at the expense of the Panthers at Noarlunga by 23 points. A massive effort during the second and third quarter was the difference, the Redlegs keeping the Panthers to a single goal for three terms whilst bagging 10 goals themselves, six of them in the third. South could have pulled off a heist to end all heists in the last quarter, getting back to within two goals before the Redlegs put it beyond doubt. Both sides were victorious in their respective home games a fortnight ago, the 'Legs only just escaping the claws of the Bulldogs by five points, while the Panthers beat out the Bloods by 22 points. With the club and the league rocked with the devastating passing of one of their premiership players, there was more than just mere pride to play for today. Both sides had their dominant periods in the opening term, both putting several chances wide. One last chance for the Redlegs was spoiled, said rushed behind was the difference maker at quarter-time with the board reading 3.4 to 3.3 at quarter-time. The second term belonged to Norwood. They did put a lot more shots wide, but they were putting the Panthers under the pump in the process, keeping them to just 1.1 whilst kicking 6.5 though to go into the long break with a 35-point lead. Post half-time, the Redlegs engine room would stall. The Panthers didn't immediately take advantage, three consecutive behinds were put on the board before kicking two majors. Norwood's 1.1 against South's scores would see the margin back to 27 points going into the final change. The Redlegs would kick off the final term with two goals in the first two minutes, putting the gap back out to seven straight kicks. The Panthers were going to make a game of it though and prior to extra time, the gap was down to 14 points after scoring 4.1. Then it was down to just one point just four minutes into said added time after another 2.1 from South. A tense five minutes ensued for the assembled crowd, it seemed like forever but after one last rushed behind for Norwood, the Panthers' faint hopes of September football would be gone as the home side would win by two points. Jackson Callow was named Norwood's best afield, with 20 disposals, eight marks and scoring four goals. For the Panthers, they named Oliver Davis as their best on ground with 31 disposals, 11 clearances and seven tackles.
The next match takes us to the outer northern suburbs and into the X-Convenience Oval in Elizabeth where the Bulldogs took on the Double Blues. The Bulldogs blew their chances big time when they met the Blues at Unley in Round 4, losing by just three points. The Dogs led by 15 points at half-time, but were held to three goals for the rest of the game as their lead was slowly eroded in the second half. The Blues reversed their first half inaccuracy and kicked six goals of their own to steal the victory. Its not the first time that the Dogs have been denied with such fine margins this season, only last week they were outlasted by Norwood at The Parade by five points. The Blues bounced back from their Alberton loss with a 15-point win at Woodville over the Eagles, though their goal-kicking has come into question lately. The Blues began the day's proceedings with a flurry... of behinds. Sturt scored five behinds over the course of 17 minutes, then the Bulldogs kicked three straight goals to lead by 11 points at quarter-time. More missed opportunities on goal dogged the Blues in the second quarter, kicking into the lead by the 10th minute mark with a score of 2.3. But then once again the Dogs kicked away, though they were unlucky not to have been more than just the three goals ahead at the half-time siren. A free kick well within range was sprayed for a minor score, among the all-up 3.2 the Bulldogs managed in the second term. Unfortunately, once again the wheels would fall off the Centrals wagon in the second half and like last time, the Blues were going to reel them back in little-by-little. Sturt would hold the home side to a single major in the third quarter, although their first three shots would add to yet another considerable behinds tally for their season, two extra-time goals would bring the Bulldogs' lead down to nine points come three quarter-time. Centrals opened the final term with the first couple of majors and a behind, seemingly steadying the ship and leading by 22 points at the 14th minute. In that time, there was also an eight-minute stoppage due following a collision that left a Sturt player down and out, requiring an ambulance to be called in. After that, the Bulldogs ground to a halt. After a trio of missed shots, as well as one to Centrals, the Blues would kick four unanswered goals to leave the Elizabeth crowd seething as the visitors again triumphed by small margins, this time by just four points. Tome Lewis was Sturt's best, with 20 disposals, 16 tackles and eight clearances. The Bulldogs voted in Harry Grant as their best, with 31 disposals, seven marks and five tackles.
The Saturday afternoon actions comes to a close for the weekend with a jaunt out to the Alberton Oval, the brand new lighting system getting its first official match run under twilight conditions as the Magpies clashed with the Tigers. There were some early season jitters in the Glenelg camp, stunned by the Blues in the opening round. But the following week in Round 2 was the beginning of their 11-game unbeaten run, coming at the expense of Port at Brighton Road. After taking a three-goal lead at half-time, the Bays went to sleep in the third term as the Magpies levelled the scores for the final stanza. Port couldn't sustain the pressure in the final stanza however, going down by 17 points as the Tigers took charge. The Magpies had a mini-Showdown to forget against the Crows last week, kicking two goals from 17 scores to go down by 65 points, while the Tigers are still minor premiership favourites after their five-goal win at Prospect. The Tigers would dominate the bulk of the opening quarter, holding the 'Pies to just 1.2, though a trio of missed chances mid-term would not have sat well. Glenelg kicked 3.4 to lead by 14 points at quarter-time. The Magpies had every chance to usurp the lead from the Tigers in the second quarter, but now it was their turn to have some accuracy issues. Both sides kicked a goal each, a further four behinds to the Magpies drew the margin back to 10 points going into the rooms at the long break. The Magpies actually could have been in front far earlier and their forward entries in the second term were frustrated by the staunch Tigers defence. Two minutes into the second half, the Tigers kicked the first major but were then unable to find the big sticks again for the rest of the quarter. Four late chances went astray as the Magpies drew their old Grand Final rivals even closer going into the final change, back to seven points after scoring 2.1 for themselves. But the visitors would prove to be party-poopers in the end, keeping the Magpies at arms length for the rest of the match, kicking 4.4 to 4.2 to run out nine-point victors and a third win over Port in succession. In the best on ground department, Glenelg's was Corey Lyons with 28 disposals and seven marks, while Port's was Jackson Mead with 29 disposals and eight clearances.
The other couple of matches would be played out on the Sunday afternoon, its now off to the mid-north west of the city and into the Maughan Thiem Kia Oval in Woodville for the encounter between the Eagles and the Roosters. The red & whites haven't dropped points to the Eagles in four games, the last one was back in Round 4 where the Roosters won by 16 points at Menzies Crescent. It was a wasteful day on goal for the Eagles, who had 3.7 on the board by half-time, 7.12 in the finish. The Roosters weren't that much better, but were more efficient with a final score of 10.10. Both teams sustained defeats last week, with the Eagles going down to the Blues at Unley, while the Roosters ended up out of the five thanks to the Tigers. The equation was simple for the Eagles, a loss would mean game over for 2023, while a North victory would likely put them back into the five thanks to Sturt's defeat of Centrals during the previous day. The Eagles were all over the Roosters for most of the opening term, but despite finding many ways to the goalfront, would manage just 2.3 to North's single major. The Roosters sprung to life in time-on but like the Eagles they also had accuracy problems, kicking 1.3 to be down by a point at quarter-time. The Eagles continued to spray vital chances on goal in the second quarter, but managed to keep the Roosters relatively quiet on the scoreboard. They would go into the long break with a 14-point advantage after scoring 2.3 to two minor scores. North coach Jacob Surjan must have given his charges a bit of a bake at half-time, because whatever was said must have struck a nerve. The Eagles fired the opening salvo with a goal inside a minute of the resumption of play, but then the Roosters fired with a reply of 6.1 to 2.1 third term to overtake the home side and lead by 10 points at the final change. The visitors would then go on to finally buried the Eagles' finals aspirations, the Roosters regaining that precious fifth spot once more with a 4.2 to 3.3 last quarter to run out 15-point winners. Sam Mayes was North's best afield, with 29 disposals, eight clearances and two goals. In the Eagles' camp it was James Rowe with 27 disposals, eight clearances and five tackles.
The last game for the weekend takes us out on the road and into the home of the Imperials Football Club of the River Murray League, the Johnstone Park in Murray Bridge providing the venue where the Bloods and the Crows would lock horns. The last time the Bloods managed to put one over the Crows was five years ago at the tail end of 2018. Since then, the Crows haven't dropped points to the Bloods, winning the next seven games including their 33-point win at Milner Road back in Round 2. Westies led by a couple of kicks at the long break, but went to water in the second half as the Crows bagged 10 goals to four. Its shaping up to be yet another sorry season for the Bloods, not even their better efficiency on goal last week could stop them going down to South by 22 points. The Crows on the other hand toyed with their arch-enemies at league headquarters, smashing the Magpies by 65 points and allowing them just 2.15. Unfortunately for Bloods fans, there was so much more damage the Crows could do. Not that West weren't competitive early, but a lapse in intensity over an eight minute period gifted the Crows four straight goals from mid-term into time on in the first quarter. The Crows would lead by 10 points at quarter-time, the board reading five goals to the Bloods' 3.2. It was Westies' second term that was to truly bring them undone, held to two behinds while the Crows continued to put on a goal-kicking clinic with a further four unanswered goals. Going into the long break, Adelaide were out to a 32-point lead. That streak would stretch to four early in the third quarter when play resumed, which was then followed by a mess of behinds for both sides. A trio of goals by the Bloods in the middle of the term didn't have the desired effect, the Crows restoring the half-time deficit of 32 points as both sides scored 3.4 each. To Westies' credit, they weren't being played off the park, but buoyed by a dominant ruck and inflicting superior body pressure, the Crows weren't to be denied. They finished with a 3.2 to 2.2 final quarter to run out 38-point victors and securing the Neil Kerley Memorial Trophy. Adelaide would name Kieran Strachan as their standout, he ruled the ruck with 59 hit-outs and had 19 disposals, while the Bloods named Michael Mattingly as their best with 34 disposals, nine marks and eight tackles.
