It’s not the quite full-length season we have been used to with the COVID-19 restictions but plenty of goals are still being kicked at the local level.
With just a few minor rounds to go, we’ve taken a look at the top 10 from across SA’s metropolitan and country footy leagues.
Check out the list:
1. MATTHEW MIN
(Hope Valley, 49 goals)
Min, well known to many followers of division one when he played for Tea Tree Gully, has been in blistering form with the Demons this season.
His 49 goals in division four have come from seven games with a whopping 14 goals against Pulteney as his best return. He has kicked five or more goals in five of the other six matches with his lowest return being two goals against Walkerville.
2. JAKE MAZZONE
(Hectorville, 47 goals)
Mazzone has been a revelation for the Hounds. An amazing return to date with an average of a touch under six goals from his eight goals, Mazzone has been one of the key reasons why Hectorville is flying in division six. Mazzone has kicked five or more goals in seven of his eight matches, kicking just the one against Houghton Districts.
3. TREVOR RIGNEY
OSB Lonsdale, 43 goals
Rigney has been a mainstay for the Lions often producing big scores in recent seasons when the team has at times struggled. This season Rigney has kicked two bags of nine goals in division seven, while the only time he didn’t get on the goalkicking list was against Mitchell Park. Last season he kicked 49 goals from 15 matches so looks well on target to go past that tally.
4. LUKE BUCKBY
Smithfield, 40 goals
A model of consistency in front of the sticks Bucky has goaled in each of his eght games, with tallies ranging from three to seven goals.
Has featured regualrly in the team’s best players in division five and is a key figure in whether the team can hold its place in the major round.
5. JOSH VANDERMEER
Ironbank Cherry Gardens, 37 goals
The former Flagstaff Hill footballer has done well with his new club in the Hills Football League country division. In seven matches Vandy has kicked 37 goals, chalking up at least two goals in each game with a highest score of nine goals against Kersbrook in round two.
6. DANIEL NOBES
Christies Beach, 36 goals
One of the recruits of the SFL season, Nobes was a prolific goalkicker with Waikerie in recent seasons before returning to the Southern Football League to play with the Saints.
Lining up in just six games, Nobes mesmerised the Cove defenders recently to bag 14 goals, while his other games have netted a six-goals haul and four games with four majors. A big reason why the Saints are looking strong this season with every chance of securing a much sought after premiership medal in the SFL
7. JEFF LADD
Gepps Cross, 33 goals
A reliable goalkicker this season for the Rams, Ladd has averaged just over four goals a game from his eight matches this season. He has kicked goals in each game with a season high so far of nine majors afginst Woodville South.
8. HENRY JOHNSON
Lockleys, 32 goals
Another consistent goalskicker with majors from each of his eight games for the Demons in division five. Johnson is a key figure in how far the Demons go in this division with just one loss for the season so far. Johnson has kicked four, five or six goals in six of his other games.
9. ANTONIO SCAFFIDI-MUTA
Blackfriars OS, 32 goals
