SOUTH Australia continued its State League dominance on Saturday with a resounding 82-point victory over NEAFL at Richmond Oval, for its 12th win from its past 14 interstate games, dating back to 1996. The victory was hard earned after a spirited fightback by the NEAFL in the second quarter, with a dominant second half squashing

CONSIGNED to one of the toughest opponents in the SANFL this season, North Adelaide triumphed by 21-point against Norwood at Prospect, but dropped one place on the premiership table! Sitting third before the weekend, with a huge five-plus percentage advantage over the fourth-placed Eagles, North fell a spot on the table after Woodville West Torrens

JUST two years ago Central District was in its 12th consecutive grand final and West Adelaide had missed the finals for the seventh consecutive season.

AFTER a quiet first three quarters, Port Adelaide Magpies defender Luke Slattery went forward in the last term to boot two goals, including the game’s final major, to help his side to a two-point victory over Glenelg in the SANFL match at Alberton.

IT’S only two rounds old, but there seems a distinct changing of the guard in the SANFL 2013 season, with Norwood, West Adelaide and North Adelaide the new ‘power’ teams. Over the past decade or so, Central District and the Eagles have been the trend-setters, but the weekend results may have helped signal the change.

NORWOOD demonstrated it is again the team to beat in the SANFL, after smashing Port Adelaide by 73 points in a round one clash at Norwood Oval on Easter Thursday.

With just one goal up to three-quarter time, the Magpies had a nightmare start under new coach Ken McGregor, and how they respond next week against reigning wooden-spooner Sturt, at the same venue – a Double Blues home game, will be a better indication of where Port is headed

ADELAIDE and Port Adelaide have joined a chorus of AFL teams wanting their own stand one teams in state league competitions, which has further been enhanced by selection issues. State league clubs have been forced to have scheduled byes mainly because of the Foxtel Cup, an initiative by the AFL. Already in the VFL, Collingwood

FORMER Collingwood players Leon Davis and Paul Medhurst have been included in the WAFL state squad to take on the SANFL next week. Davis was on the radar of some AFL clubs and was linked to Port Adelaide, West Coast and Fremantle during last year’s pre-season draft after quitting Collingwood last year. Former Port Melbourne

The suspension of Geelong premiership defender David Wojcinski for three weeks, effectively five weeks after byes are taken into account, brought into question the VFL draw which sees teams allocated four byes and a week off for the VFL representative game against Tasmania on the 26th May. Frankston, Casey, Box Hill, Coburg and Sandringham all

THE Foxtel Cup is a terrific initiative but is it actually worth the hurdles it has added to state league fixtures?, asks BRENT

After the completion of the 2012 AFL season the league will be revolutionised by the introduction of free agency. For eligible players this will give them the ability to leave their current club, bypassing the draft and trade periods, and essentially pick their next employer themselves.
