I think all get impacted pretty heavily except South and Central, although do Trinity play in the Sat college system?

Not sure, mate.

[bulldogproud]

Yep, Trinity do play in the Saturday afternoon comp.
Always loved catching up with Travis Head when he played against us.
Cheers

Speaking to North on the weekend they mentioned that they will have about 7 players out of the 18s due to college football.

I would think that most clubs would have about 5+ players out.

All with Trinity?

[bulldogproud]

A range of schools, I think. Noah McDonald is from Iggies. Since our boundaries expanded to include suburbs such as Golden Grove, we have gained more players from private schools.

[bulldogproud]

The following results may say something about how different the comp is without the private school players: three weeks ago, Glenelg beat South by 43 points in the U18s; yesterday South beat Glenelg by 121 points.

Woodville-West Torrens 17.14 (116) d Sturt 6.7 (43)
The presence of emerging forward Pat Weckert propelled Woodville-West Torrens to a powerful 73-point win against Sturt in Round 7 of the Torrens University SANFL U18s at Wigan Oval.

Having previously played in the Hostplus SANFL League, Weckert had an influence on the outcome by booting four goals from 17 disposals and 11 marks as the Eagles broke the contest open in the third quarter.

The visitors kicked a significant 10.10 to 1.3 after half-time to seal the result as midfielders Kade Herbert (25 disposals), Callum Fairall (24 disposals) and Brody Mair (20 disposals, one goal) drove the Eagles forward continually.

Sturt captain George Pope flew the flag for the hosts with 19 disposals, 14 tackles and two goals as he received solid support from Brodie Maloney and Declan Gladigau (18 disposals, one goal).


Norwood 8.5 (53) d North Adelaide 5.10 (40)
A defensively-strong Norwood outfit held North Adelaide goalless for two quarters on its way to a 13-point win at Prospect Oval.

Keeping the Roosters to just three behinds in the second quarter and two behinds in the fourth term, the Redlegs were still able to conjure the victory despite having just 23 inside 50m entries.

Norwood’s Jacob Jones continued his rich vein of form with a game-high 34 disposals, eight clearances and seven tackles as teammates Connor Butcher (25 disposals) and William Rowlands (22 disposals, two goals) also proved difficult for the Roosters to curtail.

Tom Stevens was a sizeable presence for the hosts with 32 disposals, eight clearances and seven tackles while Blake Oudhoorn-Bennier (26 possessions) and Henry Turner (15 disposals) battled hard for North.


South Adelaide 21.13 (139) d Glenelg 2.6 (18)
Exciting South Adelaide forward Jack Delean put on a show as his side cruised to a 121-point triumph against Glenelg at Stratarama Stadium.

A member of the AFL Academy, the Panthers’ livewire forward was a constant threat while booting a game-high seven goals to go with his 16 disposals and eight marks.

Panthers skipper Nicholas Schroder was rated as his side’s best while talented Phoenix Hargrave racked up 26 disposals, eight tackles and a goal for the visitors as they kept Glenelg goalless in the first half.

Glenelg’s Joe Chigwidden, the son of club great Nick Chigwidden, drew high praise from his coaches while Michael Smith and Noah Grzyb were also lauded for attempting to stem South’s tide of goals.


Central District 20.9 (139) d West Adelaide 4.9 (33)
Central District continues to make a statement in the Torrens University SANFL U18s, this time romping home to a 96-point win against West Adelaide at Hisense Stadium.

Sitting on top of the ladder with a 5-2 win-loss record, the Bulldogs were irresistible in the second half as they piled on 10.6 while restricting the Bloods to just three behinds.

Among the visitors’ even spread of contributors were Jayden Matz (19 disposals), Nathan Johnson and Liam Fawcett, who booted a game-high six goals to go with his 22 disposals and five marks.

On a tough day at the office, the Bloods were served well by Charlie Haysman (33 disposals, eight clearances), Sam Burbridge (24 disposals, eight clearances) and Riley Hill.

Good to see Patty Weckert go back and kick 4 for the Eagles u/18 after struggling in the league side the last few weeks.

from sanfl website


West Adelaide 9.7 (61) d Central District 7.14 (56)
A colossal performance from Central District’s Dyson Sharp wasn’t enough to topple West Adelaide as it earned a five-point win in Round 7 of the Torrens University SANFL U16s at Hisense Stadium.

Sharp was everywhere for the Bulldogs, gathering 52 disposals, nine marks and 12 clearances, but the Bloods made Central pay for inaccurate goal kicking.

West Adelaide’s Josh Goldie performed well, accumulating 31 touches, with Logan McCabe, Jensen Palmer and Zanen Syrokos all booting two goals.

Gun forward Dougie Cochrane kicked four goals for the Bulldogs and ruckman Kai Evans booted two to go with 17 hit outs.


Sturt 13.13 (91) d Woodville-West Torrens 2.5 (17)
Sturt continued its early-season dominance with a strong 74-point win over Woodville-West Torrens at Wigan Oval.

The Double Blues led from start to finish, finding the scoreboard frequently and restricting the Eagles to just seven scoring shots.

Jett Dahlitz was damaging for the ladder leaders, gathering 25 disposals (23 kicks), 11 marks and eight rebound 50s.

Zack Taylor kicked three goals for the home side and Owen Hartley-Brown found plenty of the ball for the Eagles.


Glenelg 10.8 (68) d South Adelaide 7.11 (53)
Glenelg clawed its way back from a goalless opening term to defeat South Adelaide by 15 points at Stratarama Stadium.

In a sea-sawing affair, the Panthers were white-hot early before the Bays bounced back to cut the margin to one point at half-time.

The Panthers’ nine-point three quarter-time lead didn’t last long, with Glenelg booting four unanswered goals to remain second on the ladder.

Max Atkin sealed the deal for the Tigers by booting two last term goals to finish with three for the game, as teammate Isaiah Clothier put up 30 disposals and a goal.

Jesse Nye was the Panthers’ leading ball-getter with 21 and Noah Kliems Carlaw kicked two first quarter goals.


North Adelaide 11.3 (69) d Norwood 4.9 (33)
An accurate North Adelaide kept Norwood goalless in the first half before earning a 36-point victory at Prospect Oval.

The Roosters started the round in seventh position but moved into fourth with a well-rounded performance.

Charlie Dickeson produced a standout game in the red and white, collecting 36 disposals (34 kicks), 10 marks, nine clearances and a goal, and Hamish Collins kicked three majors.

Norwood ruckman Oliver Gribben was the Redlegs’ best, winning 22 hit outs and seven clearances to go with his 19 touches and two goals.

[Thunderstruck]

Sharp surely gets a promotion after that effort, he's good enough to play league footy, was pretty good at Under 18 level last year. He's very, very advanced with his football.

Like Phillipou last year fair few players are now choosing not to play senior SANFL footy in their draft year. Most of the Victorian lads come from the under 18 comps and have never played senior footy before.

It looks like Patty Weckert from the Eagles has gone down that path after some early struggles this season in the league side which threatened to derail his draft potential. Went from league to u/18's last weekend and went back and kicked 4 goals. His prospects are most likely going to be better having a 60-70 goal year in under 18's than struggling to get more than a few possies in league football.
