SANFL UNDER-18s STATS MONSTERS
RILEY VERRALL
Norwood
A versatile player running through the midfield and across half-back, Riley Verrall has been one of the Redlegs’ most consistent in 2022.
Averaging 19.7 disposals per game to rank seventh in the league while also bouncing out of defence with the second most rebound 50s in the under-18 competition.
Had a big game in last week’s four-point defeat to Central District, recording 28 touches, 14 rebound 50s plus a goal.
HAYDEN BROKENSHA
Glenelg
Another player who will be in Saturday’s live streamed under-18 game against Norwood, Glenelg’s Hayden Brokensha has had the ball on a string at time this season.
The consistent midfielder has collected the third most disposals in 2022 at an average of 24.2 per match.
Brokensha also averages 4.6 rebound 50s per game, 4.2 marks and three goals. Gathered a season-high 36 touches against North Adelaide in round 16.
TRENT TATTOLI
Central District
Hard-working Dogs midfielder Trent Tattoli has arguably stuffed the stats sheet more than any other SANFL under-18 player this year.
Ranking first in the league for kicks, second for disposals and handballs, plus third for tackles and clearances, Tattoli has a massive engine and shows it regularly.
The Trinity College student is averaging 29 touches per game in 2022 and only twice has he gathered less than 25 in a match.
BILLY DOWLING
North Adelaide
North Adelaide’s Billy Dowling has turned heads at under-18 level with good reason.
The AFL Draft prospect and St Peter’s College student picked up a staggering 45 disposals in round two before almost topping that mark with 44 touches and four goals last week against Glenelg.
Has played just 10 matches for the Roosters amid state under-18 commitments but has still managed to gather the fourth most total disposals in the league, averaging 31.9.
CHAD RESCHKE
Sturt
The superboot of the under-18 competition, Sturt’s Chad Reschke leads all comers with 57 goals from 15 matches this season.
Reschke has kicked multiple goals in every match so far with one bag of seven, another of six and three hauls of five among his stat sheet.
The Sturt forward, who has the ability to play both tall and small, has also ranks second in the competition for contested marks.
JAMES WHITE
North Adelaide
Roosters captain James White has touched the ball more than any other player in the under-18 competition and has been a model of consistency for his side.
Averaging 24.3 touches across his 16 matches, the strong-bodied midfielder is a reliable performer who is not afraid to win the ball at the contest.
Ranks second for clearances.
TOM SCULLY
West Adelaide
The contested marking leader and second in the goal kicking charts, Tom Scully shot up the draft boards early in the season with phenomenal form in front of the big sticks.
A 204cm key forward, Scully booted 37 goals in the opening seven matches for West, including three bags of seven and another of six.
While his production has slowed in the back half of the campaign, the Christian Brothers College student continues to push his case ahead of the AFL draft.
BENJAMIN RIDGEWAY
Glenelg
Glenelg’s captain made his mark on the competition early when he was named the U18 Torrens University Cup MVP for round one.
Playing through the midfield and up forward, Ridgway recorded 31 disposals, three goals, eight clearances and four tackles in a dominant display.
Has also been in good touch recently, averaging just below 27 possessions per game.
ADAM BUNWORTH
West Adelaide
Bloods skipper Adam Bunworth is a key part of the West engine room and arguably the fiercest tackler in the under-18 competition.
Bunworth’s strong desire to win back the ball has him leading the tackle count at an average of seven per game and in total is 16 ahead of his closest opponent.
But it’s not all one way. The midfielder can find the ball too, ranking sixth overall for disposals and fourth for marks.
GEORGE POPE
Sturt
George Pope is the clearance king of the under-18s.
His total of 75 this season is the league’s best and has coincided with a top four spot on the ladder for the Double Blues.
Pope’s standout game arguably came last week when he picked up 26 disposals and seven clearances in a big win over the Eagles.
