SANFL 2026

Our reserves have a 5 oclock game on Friday after the league game
There is u18s girls game at 9.40am with nothing between it and the league match at 2.10pm
Seems odd why the reserves wouldnt start beforehand even if the league is pushed back by half hour or so

Women’s trial before the league game. Should be reserves and put the women’s afterwards.

Clubs have two separate support groups for Women and Mens

Clubs generally have two separate support teams for the Men's and Women's program. So the scheduling would be based what is best for the volunteers, coaches and players by having the two womens teams playing then the two mens sides

The West End State team could have as many as 15 debutants when it seeks redemption against the VFL at Stratarama Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

A 30-player squad has been released to face the Big V, as the Croweaters aim to turn the tables against their arch-rival after succumbing by 11 points in Tanunda last year.

With triple Sturt premiership coach Marty Mattner back in charge of the West End State team, the Double Blues have a league-high eight players named in the squad including possible debutants Jed McEntee, Tom Emmett, Zac Becker and Sam Conforti.

Norwood’s star recruit Aaron Francis and Eagles surprise packet Ethan Grace are among the fresh faces in the Hostplus SANFL League this year who could also don the cherished red guernsey for the first time.

Redlegs captain Jacob Kennerley, West Adelaide tall Tom Scully, Bulldogs utility Luca Whitelum and South Adelaide pair Oscar Clavarino and Ollie Davis could also make their first start in the clash at the Bay.

Dual Fos Williams Medallist Jez McLennan is Port Adelaide’s sole representative with every team except for Adelaide having players chosen for the 2.30pm contest which will be staged as part of Gather Round’s Festival of Footy.

8 from Sturt and 5 from each of Glenelg and Norwood. No players from Adelaide. A couple of their non-AFL side like Boyle and Drury, should have been considered. Drury had 26 possessions and 4.0 goals in round 1.

A fairly strong VFL side named with some familiar faces to SANFL

That has got to be the weakest state side I've ever seen. Our sides have certainly dwindled over the years, the midfield looks like it will be really up against it. Some very strange selections and equally strange omissions.

VFL on the other hand looks pretty solid across the board, but especially in the middle.

VFL by 35

Sounds like it's been an interesting week at SANFL HQ with their bosses in town.

Are there any injuries coming out of yesterday's state match?
