SANFL 2025

[BoomBabyDagger]

In what could have been a blockbuster game, things could get ugly down at Glenelg Friday afternoon. The almost fully-fit Crows will have a lot sitting on the sidelines. Expect the Tigers to win by 10 goals +

OUT Luke Pedlar (AFL), Jordan Butts (AFL), Toby Murray (Ankle), Lachlan Mcandrew (AFL), Hugh Bond (AFL), Zac Taylor (AFL), Brodie Smith (AFL), Billy Dowling (AFL), Chayce Jones (AFL)

16,445 attended the 5 easter weekend games.

Slightly down on last season (17,144, which was also round 1) but ahead of 2023 and 2022.

Hopefully the pioneers of SANFL Good Friday football are given a home game next season.

2025 SANFL U20 Squad Announced

South Australia’s exciting mature-age talent will have its opportunity to shine when the SA U20 team tackles the SA U18 team at Norwood Oval on Saturday May 17.

Selectors have released a 29-player squad which features Hostplus SANFL League regulars Phoenix Hargrave (South Adelaide), Will Patton (West Adelaide) and Kade Herbert (Woodville-West Torrens).

Emerging players such as Glenelg tall Harry Ramm, Redleg Jacob Newton and Eagle Jett Hasting have also had their noteworthy starts to the League season rewarded with selection.

Each SANFL club has a player in the initial list, with Adelaide (Ned Atkinson) and Port Adelaide (Rome Burgoyne) also represented.

Players will gather for recovery sessions across the next two Sundays – May 4 and 11 – before training on Wednesday May 14 at Adelaide University Oval No.2.

An equally important fixture for the SA U18 team, the annual State Youth Match between the SA U20 team and SA U18s will be screened exclusively via The Advertiser’s Kommunity TV platform.

ROSS LYON

In the spotlight last round for the spray he gave his players, most notably teenage midfielder Hugo Garcia, a still fired-up Lyon said AFL clubs would be better off running their own breakaway competition than fielding teams in the VFL.

"No wonder AFL clubs talk about, 'Let's have a breakaway group from a 22-team competition and just have four or five clubs that play each other'," he said.

"It's not worth the risk and there's no recompense or consideration or adjustment for the reality of a misaligned fixture of a feeder competition to the AFL so I am absolutely filthy."

Maybe we could trade crows and port

Only 6 games played, but at this early stage I think the 5 could be set.

Set in order, too.

West End State Squad announced for 2025 KIA State Game

A 26-player West End State squad has been released, with as many as five debutants a chance to play in the KIA State Game against the WAFL at Adelaide Oval on Saturday.

SANFL Chairman of Selectors Tim Ginever has included 11 new faces in the Croweaters’ squad, as it prepares to retain the Haydn Bunton Junior Cup with a sixth win in succession against the Sandgropers.

It will be the 100th match between SA and WA in State football, with a 51-48 win-loss record in favour of SA since one of the longest Australian football traditions between the two States began in 1904.

“The 2025 Kia State Game will be a celebration of both SA and WA’s strong and rich football history with the milestone 100th encounter between the two rival State Leagues,” said SANFL Executive General Manager Football Matt Duldig.

“Not only does the Kia State Game provide us with a great opportunity to showcase SANFLs best players on a national stage, but ensures our players enjoy the ultimate honour of wearing the cherished State guernsey at senior level.”

Adelaide’s Blake Drury, Port Adelaide’s Jack Watkins. Eagle ruck Jordan Lukac and Central District pair Rhett Montgomerie and Mani Liddy could don the cherished red guernsey for the first time.

Fos Williams Medallist Casey Voss, Magarey Medallists Will Snelling and Harry Grant, Woodville-West Torrens captain and former SANFL state captain Joseph Sinor, Norwood premiership defender Jack Heard and crafty North Adelaide forward Frank Szekely headline the star-studded inclusions for the hosts.

Leading the West End State Team for a second time this year will be Glenelg premiership captain Liam McBean.

Among the players unavailable for selection are injured trio Flynn Perez (foot), Jack Hayes (knee soreness) and Jez McLennan (calf), while Glenelg veteran Max Proud is being managed.

West End State team coach Darren Reeves will put his team through its paces at training on Wednesday (Glenelg) and Thursday (Prospect) before the contest at 11.30am, which will be the curtain-raiser to the Port Adelaide v Geelong AFL match.

The KIA State Game will be screened live and free via SANFL Now.

The match kicks off at 11.30 a.m. (10 a.m. for those in the west). It's a curtain raiser to the curtain raiser to the AFL game.

I'm a big fan of state footy, but I can't possibly think of a way this match could be rendered more pointless. Who do they expect to watch?
