With all the state leagues now up and running, the pressure to maintain and cement a spot in the team's 22 is as crucial as ever, as teams look to maintain their form, or make statement calls at the selection table.
SANFL
Adelaide 10.9.69 def by. Sturt 19.4.118
The Crows had a great win over the Saints on Saturday night, with no major impact from their big forwards. The Crows looked shaky in the first half, but once they gained momentum they were unable to be stopped. Cam Ellis-Yolmen had an off game, but would expect to retain his position in the side, while in the reserves, there wasn't really a standout in the defeat to reigning premiers, Sturt, by 49 points.
Jordan Gallucci led the AFL hopefuls with 20 disposals.
Port Adelaide 14.8.92 def. Glenelg 14.5.89
The Power are dominating in the AFL, as well as the SANFL, escaping with a three-point victory over Glenelg. Jake Neade was able to snag a late major, finishing the game with three goals, as did Peter Ladhams. Will Snelling put in a best-on-ground performance with 20 disposals and 14 tackles, while Jarrod Liernart, Joe Atley and Karl Amon each collected 26 touches.
