2025 AFLW U16s | Scouting Notes: Swans Academy vs Tasmania
A DOUBLE-header of Pool B action took place at Blacktown International Sportspark yesterday with Sydney Swans Academy proved too good for Tasmania in the first of those matches. After a tight first half where both sides struggled to put through many goals, the red and white got on top to kick six goals to three after quarter time and win by 34 points.
The Swans Academy tended to take a few pot shots at the goals, and those attempts, combined with some important defending from the Tasmanians ensured the scoreline looked a little lob-sided when it came to accuracy. In the end it did not matter with the Swans Academy getting up 8.15 (63) to 4.5 (29) to be the first of the NSW Academies to win on the day.
