SANFL Player Focus: Tom Scully (West Adelaide)

YOU would be hard pressed to find a more in-form key forward around the country than West Adelaide’s Tom Scully. The 201cm bigman has been on fire over the last three weekends of SANFL Under 18s footy, booting 20 goals to consolidate a season average of 5.5 per his four games. In his latest outing, […]

AFLW U18s Player Focus: Georgia McKee (South Australia)

ONE of four Under 16s players to feature at the 2022 AFLW Under 18 Championships so far this carnival for South Australia, Central District pocket rocket Georgia McKee is one to watch for the future. Despite standing at 160cm, the 2006-born McKee could easily transition into senior football at the highest level already, and is […]

Little taking big opportunity at Eagles, State

ONE of only two over-age players in the South Australian side, Woodville-West Torrens‘ Ella Little is making the most of a second chance in many ways. Originally from the Glenelg zone, Little played her football at Morphettville Park – after coming to Adelaide from the country – and is now one of the key midfielders […]

Long treks and boys footy steels Ewings for future

EIGHT-HOUR return trips, multiple training sessions between state football and cricket, as well as her North Adelaide commitments, it is fair to say young star Hannah Ewings and her family have sacrificed a lot to get to where she is today. Though now Ewings is living and working in Adelaide, for a long time the […]

SANFLW Player Focus: Violet Patterson (Glenelg)

AN ELECTRIC talent out of reigning premiers Glenelg, 16-year-old winger Violet Patterson is a name for Collingwood fans to keep in the back of their minds for the 2024 AFLW Draft. Though still young and only in her debut season at League level, the daughter of Magpies Stephen (96 games) has some incredibly exciting traits […]

SANFL Player Focus: Harry Lemmey (West Adelaide)

WEST Adelaide has made a happy knack of nurturing high quality forwards, and Harry Lemmey is the latest on the production line. The 18-year-old looms as South Australia’s top prospect in 2022, having made his SANFL League debut last year and represented his state in an improvised Under 19 National Championships. Likened to St Kilda […]

AFLW U18s Player Focus: Shineah Goody (South Australia)

ONE of the most talented bottom-age prospects coming up through the ranks, Woodville-West Torrens‘ Shineah Goody had a remarkable performance for South Australia up against Western Australia at the AFLW Under 18 Championships on the weekend. The bottom-ager is a smooth mover who covers the ground with ridiculous ease. In her first Under 18s clash […]

Rising Waters flying high at Eagles

RISING young talent Cher Waters has taken a more traditional pathway to the State Under 18s squad, but her move into the midfield for Woodville-West Torrens has particularly paid dividends. Having transformed from a defender into a midfielder at League level, Waters credits new Eagles coach Narelle Smith for her development, to the point where […]
