West Adelaide's Tom Scully & Andrew Capel

marketing@sanfl.com.au (SANFL) — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 05:29:59 +0000

He's been a big influence behind West Adelaide's early-season resurgence. Bloods tall forward Tom Scully is used to being described as big given he measures in at a towering 203cm and now he's casting an imposing shadow across the Hostplus SANFL League. Booting eight goals in his opening three games, the 21-year-old also caught the eye with his three-goal effort for the West End State Team earlier this month. The latest guest on SANFL's Checkside Chats podcast, Scully revealed he has put on an extra 4-5kg onto his frame whilst the presence of late addition and football manager Chris Burgess has also played a role in his hot start. But the former Port Adelaide spearhead reserved his biggest praise for new coach Nathan Bassett, declaring he has ''already turned the club around.'' Admitting he lacked competitiveness during his stint with the Power, he was unable to play an AFL game, Scully said he would be well-placed to make the most of a second opportunity at elite level should it arise. The Advertiser's Andrew Capel also comes into the studio to review and preview the Hostplus SANFL League season after the opening three rounds.

It's redemption time for the West End State Team.

2026 Hostplus SANFL League Preview with Andrew Capel

marketing@sanfl.com.au (SANFL) — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 02:45:51 +0000

Will Sturt be as dominant in 2026? The Double Blues secured their 16th flag on the back of losing just one match in 2025. Surely they won't repeat the dose? And what about the elite coaches entering the Hostplus SANFL League this season? Nathan Bassett is sinking his teeth into a three-year rebuild with West Adelaide, favourite son Josh Francou is returning to Prospect for the first time since 2013 and Matthew Clarke begins his State League coaching journey with the Bays.

marketing@sanfl.com.au (SANFL) — Thu, 16 Oct 2025 03:55:14 +0000

Tune in to the latest edition of SANFL's exclusive podcast, Checkside Chats, to learn about the Bachar Houli Foundation. SANFL's Multicultural Participation Officer Amer El Hosni explains the Foundation's Mission and Vision whilst detailing how it operates in South Australia. BHF is providing opportunities for boys and girls from the Muslim Community to further themselves on and off the field in an elite environment. Two such examples are Zain Baroudi and Ayman Ismail, who have been South Australian members of the BHF Academy whilst also playing at SANFL clubs Glenelg and North Adelaide respectively. Ayman has been selected in the BHF's National Academy which will include regular training sessions in Melbourne before heading to Dubai later this year for a cultural experience.

Sturt premiership pair Josh Hone & Alex Holt

marketing@sanfl.com.au (SANFL) — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 05:53:27 +0000

They are at opposite ends of their Hostplus SANFL League careers but Sturt's Josh Hone and Alex Holt both revelled in the unbridled joy of playing in their club's 16th premiership. Veteran Hone earned his third premiership medallion after being a part of the club's back-to-back success of 2016 and 2017 with coach Marty Mattner. Rookie Holt earned his first premiership medallion after playing just 15 League games, retaining his place in the Double Blues' best 22 after making his debut in Round 6. For Hone, it was sweet redemption after playing in the club's 2023 Grand Final loss and the straight sets exit of 2024. And after bagging a team-high four majors in the title-decider, he put to bed any of the cheeky niggles from teammates which existed after kicking 0.5 against the Bays two years earlier. Confirming he is set to play on in 2026, the 29-year-old is hungry to chase a fourth medallion after being energised by the youthful playing group at Unley. At the other end of the journey, Holt is the perfect representation of that youth movement as he relished his role rotating off half-back and a wing. It took the 20-year-old as many as 38 Reserves games to finally break into the League line-up, illustrating his persistence and willingness to display great patience along with several of his teammates at Oxford Terrace. Racking up 21 disposals and a memorable goal near the boundary line on Grand Final day, Holt is refusing to give up on his dream of playing at elite level.

Eagles young guns Jevan Phillipou and Jack Cook

marketing@sanfl.com.au (SANFL) — Fri, 29 Aug 2025 01:17:13 +0000

Woodville-West Torrens might be coming from fourth spot to defend its SANFL U18 crown but star duo Jevan Phillipou and Jack Cook are up for the challenge. As the Eagles prepare to face Central District in Saturday's First Semi-Final, Phillipou and Cook declared they are excited to tackle the Bulldogs in a Grand Final rematch, after edging out their rivals last year. Starting at 1.30pm, it will be the second contest of a salivating SANFL U18 double-header at Unley, with minor premier Sturt to host the vastly-improved West Adelaide in the opener from 11am. Phillipou and Cook return to the Under-18 line-up after featuring as regulars in the Eagles' Hostplus SANFL League team in the second half of the minor round. Prior to that, Cook relished the chance to vice-captain the SA U18 team to its first national title since 2018 while Phillipou was forced to sit on the sidelines with a broken arm. Ironically, both of their fathers - Tim Cook and Sam Phillipou - were members of South Australia's victorious U17 Teal Cup winning team in 1991. Both players will be aiming to put their best foot forward during the major round as they also have one eye on testing themselves as the AFL Combines in October.

marketing@sanfl.com.au (SANFL) — Thu, 14 Aug 2025 04:02:34 +0000

He's a towering figure on and off the field, a symbol of strength for Adelaide's SANFL League Team. So it is only fitting that the club's most decorated State League player, Kieran Strachan, will be the first to reach 100 Hostplus SANFL League games on Saturday. The 29-year-old is the first of 241 League players to reach triple figures, having won three best-and-fairests and being selected in The Advertiser SANFL Team of the Year on four occasions. But the past 12 months have been particularly challenging for the boy from Bendigo, who has had to overcome a serious foot injury which placed his immediate future in doubt. Now fighting fit, Strachan is desperate to add the one remaining prize to his bulging trophy cabinet - a premiership medallion.

The latest guests on SANFL's exclusive Checkside Chats podcast, the pair revealed their team's motto was ''you plus me equals we'' as they remained undefeated after four contests in succession. Left-footed Marsh, the son of Crows premiership ruckman Ben Marsh, enjoyed a consistent campaign working in with fellow tall forwards Aidan Schubert and Cameron Nairn. Barker, who injured his ACL returning for Sturt on Saturday, displayed his athleticism and eye-catching ball use on his wing whilst using his deceptive height of 187cm to his advantage. The pair chat about who they have modelled their games on whilst also detailing their journeys to put themselves in a position to potentially have their names called by an AFL club in November.

marketing@sanfl.com.au (SANFL) — Thu, 8 May 2025 04:23:31 +0000

Like father, like daughter. But if you ask Laela Ebert, she's forging her way higher up the field than dad Daniel, who played the majority of his 108 SANFL League games in the back pocket for North Adelaide. Speaking on SANFL's Checkside Chats podcast, the 19-year-old is still coming to terms with winning the best-on-ground medal for her polished performance for the SANFLW State team in defeating the WAFLW at Adelaide Oval. The second-year Sports and Exercise Science student is relishing her role as a play-making half-back, using her elite kicking skills to make a positive impact for the Croweaters and Roosters. It hasn't always been easy for Laela though, she has had to fight her way back to full fitness after undergoing reconstructions on both of her knees within a 24-month period. Younger sister Neveah is set to make her comeback from a knee reconstruction, with Laela joining Daniel in playing an advisory role in the hope she can line-up with her at Prospect this season and beyond. Laela also speaks about her excitement for her Roosters, who are currently sitting in third spot on the ladder with a 3-3 win-loss record after collecting a rare wooden spoon in 2024.
