North Adelaide survived a late Woodville-West Torrens fightback to claim an exciting four-point victory in Round 13 of the AAMI Talent League at Revo Fitness Oval. <\/p>\n
Having had their noses in front for much of the day, the Roosters appeared in control with an 18-point lead early in the first term before the Eagles kicked three of the last four goals to challenge the home side.<\/p>\n
North midfielders Harry Hobby (35 disposals, 10 marks and a goal) and Kade Clark (30 disposals and nine clearances) led from the front alongside teammate Tom Laube (21 disposals and two goals).<\/p>\n
Jude Cowan (29 disposals and eight rebound-50s) and Nate Ashley (28 disposals and five clearances) found plenty of the ball for the Eagles while Jackson Brooks booted three goals, including the last two of the game.<\/p>\n
Glenelg continued its impressive season with a 100-point demolition of Norwood at The Parade.<\/p>\n
In control from start-to-finish, Glenelg dominated the inside-50s (59-26), clearances (34-23) and disposals (329-229) in an emphatic reminder it is the team to beat.<\/p>\n
Ryder Lindner (31 disposals, 11 inside-50s and two goals) once again impressed for the Bays alongside Jack Kloeden (20 disposals and three goals), while forward Nate McCleary booted four goals.<\/p>\n
Harrison Tink (25 disposals and four marks), Tyler Hitch (23 disposals, eight tackles and five clearances) and James Mudge (16 disposals and a goal) stood tall on a difficult day for the Redlegs.<\/p>\n
Sturt overcame an inaccurate West Adelaide by four points at Richmond Oval to remain in-touch with the top four.<\/p>\n
Despite the Bloods winning the clearance battle (31-26) and inside-50 count (45-40) and registering six more scoring shots, it was Sturt who had the edge for much of the game and at the final siren.<\/p>\n
In a low-scoring affair, Double Blues forward Emmett O\u2019Keefe nailed three important goals as teammates Jacob Westley (33 disposals and seven clearances) and Jesse Nunan (29 disposals and seven rebound-50s) impressed in the midfield and backline respectively.<\/p>\n
West\u2019s Hugo Williams gathered 34 disposals, 10 marks, eight tackles and eight clearances in a terrific display, teammate Naman Mittal managed 30 disposals but four behinds and Zavier O\u2019Hara and Lucas Piggott booted two goals apiece.<\/p>\n
South Adelaide returned to the winners list with a 32-point victory over Central District at Magain Stadium. <\/p>\n
Goals were hard to come by for both sides, however South gained the edge in the midfield and did enough to hold off the Bulldogs despite inaccurate kicking in-front of goal.<\/p>\n
The consistent Liam Bell (28 disposals, six marks and six rebound-50s) was South\u2019s leading ball-winner, Tommy Aldridge laid a game-high 12 tackles and Cruze Morgan made the most of his chances to boot two goals.<\/p>\n
Logan Treverton (34 disposals, 11 tackles and a goal) and Braith Hickey (27 disposals and seven clearances) were among the Bulldogs\u2019 best and Harrison Schubert kicked two goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By TOM WYMAN North Adelaide survived a late Woodville-West Torrens fightback to claim an exciting four-point victory in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":788519,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-788518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/788518","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=788518"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/788518\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/788519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=788518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=788518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=788518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
