A final 30-player Torrens University SA U16 squad has been selected ahead of the NAB AFL Under-16 National Championships starting this month.

Featuring a host of father-son prospects, the squad – selected from the eight SANFL clubs – has been trimmed after Saturday’s internal trial match.

Coached by Julian ****, the Torrens University SA U16 team will play three Championship matches, two in Adelaide and one on the Gold Coast.

South Australia will begin its campaign against Western Australia at Thebarton Oval on Sunday June 26 before tackling Victoria Metro at the home of the Suns, Metricon Stadium, on Tuesday July 5.

A final contest will be played at Thebarton Oval against Victoria Country on Saturday July 9.

Among the familiar surnames in the squad are the sons of Central District premiership pair Luke McCabe and Stuart Cochrane, with Will McCabe and Thomas Cochrane joining three other Bulldogs in the squad.

Glenelg’s Camporeale twins – Lucas and Ben – are the sons of Woodville-West Torrens wingman Scott Camproeale while North’s Tom Tasker is aiming to follow the same path as his dad Sean at Prospect.

Sturt midfielder Ned Atkinson, son of Magarey Medallist Brodie Atkinson, North’s Louie Montgomery, son of Power premiership defender Brett Montgomery and Woodville-West Torrens’ Tyler Welsh, son of former Crow Scott Welsh, are also in the mix to play in the national tournament.

A second trial match against Prince Alfred College will be played at Thebarton Oval this Saturday, with **** to be assisted in the coaches box by Clay Sampson, Dave Reynolds, Brett Hudson and SANFL’s Tony Bamford as Coaches assistant.

South Adelaide’s Sid Draper has been selected as captain of the Torrens University SA U16 to face Western Australia in Game 1 of the NAB AFL National Championships at Thebarton Oval on Sunday.

Set to start inside the centre square against the Sandgropers, Draper will be supported by father-son prospects Ned Atkinson (Brodie Atkinson) and Lucas Camporeale (Scott Camporeale) who will act as joint vice-captains through the midfield.

Half-backs Jett Hasting and Harry Dodd, together with midfielder Phoenix Hargrave, round out the Croweaters’ six-player leadership group.

With championship-winning mentor Julian **** returning as coach, SA also has several other father-son prospects in its 26-player squad including Louie Montgomery (Brett Montgomery), Will McCabe (Luke McCabe), Tyler Welsh (Scott Welsh), Ben Camporeale (Scott Camporeale), Tom Tasker (Sean Tasker) and Thomas Cochrane (Stuart Coachrane).

I hope selection of our state 16 side is based on talent and not the parents name.

All the best lads.

They are all very talented, quite a number of father/sons playing in the comp that didn't get a look in

For Crows fans keep a track of Tyler Welsh, the pick of the crop IMO and a father/son.

Good win over WA and good game against Vic Metro with SA having a kick to win the the game but missed yesterday.
Back to Adelaide Saturday to play Vic country.

PS Dutchy couple not so talented?

Big game tonight at Richmond, 2nd v 3rd.
Westies had a 10 point lead at 3/4 time but the Roosters ran over them in the last to win by 9 points.
North now 4 points clear in 2nd spot ahead of West in 3rd.

North reserves trailed from about 10 mins of the 1st 1/4 until the last minute or so of the game and then snatched victory

Eagles by 10 pts at half time of 16's

Eagles had to win last minor round match to make the finals, go on to win the premiership. Glenelg didn't give a roar, kicked only one goal in the last three quarters. Tom Luck again best on ground, has had a superb finals series. Welsh playing under duress was stationed at F/F but still kicked four goals. A great team effort by the Eagles.

Bays U18 Premiers.
