The State Leagues are heating up, and many are pressing their claims to be selected in their respective senior sides.
SANFL
North Adelaide 12.10.82 def. Adelaide 9.6.60
Mature-aged rookie, Pat Wilson was the Crows' best in another loss, this time at the hands of North Adelaide, finishing with a 22-point deficit.
Wilson, however, added to his impressive start to the year with 31 possessions and a goal, while dropped-forward Lachlan Murphy and father-son prodigy Jackson Edwards, each collected 21 touches. However, with Taylor Walker to likely return for the showdown against cross-town rivals, expect Con Pyke to limit his changes this week.
Norwood 17.14.112 def. Port Adelaide Magpies 13.12.90
AFL-listed players dominated for the Magpies in the 22-point defeat to Norwood, with Sam Powell-Pepper and Tom Rockliff doing themselves no harm in a possible return to the senior side.
Rockliff has suffered a calf injury thus far in 2018, but looked to get close to his 2017 form, with 31 touches and a goal. Powell-Pepper has been unavailable for the senior side after an off-field indiscretion, and played his second straight game in the reserves, collecting 25 disposals and kicking two majors.
Former Demon, Jimmy Toumpas and Joe Atley were also important for the Magpies, collecting 30 disposals, and 28 and seven tackles respectively.
