REIGNING back-to-back AFLW Under 18 Championship title winners South Australia will field another incredibly strong and deep squad next year, with the 2014 Under 18 Girls Academy announced today. A total of 44 players have been named in the squad, including 15 who were involved through at least one of the triumphs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two key inclusions for the 2024 Academy are Georgia McKee<\/a> and Shae Archbold<\/a>, with the former looming as a first round talent. The duo both missed 2023 due to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, but will return for the preseason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collingwood will keep close tabs on potential father-daughter selection Violet Patterson<\/a> – daughter of Stephen – with the Glenelg utility one to watch for the upcoming season. Her Bays’ teammate Poppy Scholz<\/a> has ties to the AFLW through sister Matilda<\/strong> (Port Adelaide). while reigning MVP winners India Rasheed<\/a> (Under 18s) and Sophie Eaton<\/a> (Under 16s) are also in the squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFLW Academy members Rasheed, McKee, Scholz, Charlotte Riggs<\/a> and Jasmine Evans<\/a> highlight the strength of the squad, but All-Australian Jemma Charity<\/a> – who moved from Eagles to North Adelaide over the off-season – and West Adelaide tall Lucy Boyd<\/a> are also among the top draftable talents in next year’s crop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2024 South Australian Under 18 Girls Academy will begin with a three-day camp at Thebarton from Monday, December 18 to Wednesday, December 20, with weekly trainings starting in April. The squad will be cut down to form a team for the AFLW Under 18 Championships where they will play three matches, as well as an exhibition match against the Under 23 All-Stars SANFLW side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former Norwood SANFLW coach Brad Snell<\/em><\/strong> will take the head coach reigns, with Emma Sampson named as senior assistant. From a SANFLW team perspective, North Adelaide tops the competition with seven representatives, while South Adelaide, West Adelaide and Norwood each have six. Central District, Glenelg and Woodville-West Torrens have five apiece, while Sturt has four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
