Otten was among South’s best in its 14-point win over Glenelg at Noarlunga on Sunday. Crows observers credited the 18-year-old draftee with 26 effective possessions as a midfielder changing at half-forward.
Jacky played at half-forward for Woodville-West Torrens, which went down to North Adelaide by six points at Prospect after trailing by 37 points at the last change. He had 17 possessions and kicked a goal.
Ivan Maric shared the ruck work for the Port Adelaide Magpies against Central District on Saturday night. He had about ten possessions, had 13 hit outs and kicked a goal. For Glenelg, James Sellar had four possessions and spent a fair bit of the game on the bench.
Aaron Kite’s league debut for Norwood was ruined by a knee injury. He hurt the knee in the warm-up and tried to battle on at half-back before going to the bench.
Greg Gallman also copped an early rib injury playing for North’s reserves. It was hit first hit-out since hurting a knee a month ago.
In the same game, Tony Armstrong started strongly at half-back and had collected 20 disposals by half-time. Taylor Walker kicked five goals from full forward and centre half forward for Norwood’s reserves side on Friday night. And Myke Cook played his first full game for South’s reserves on Sunday, winning 15 possessions in the midfield.
Rookie James Moss shrugged off a sore foot to show some impressive form in Central District’s reserves side. He had about 25 possessions at half back and on a wing and took a couple of strong marks. Another rookie, Brodie Martin, was prominent in the first half for Sturt reserves before fading.
Norwood midfielder Bryce Campbell, named as a Crows emergency for Saturday’s game, was pulled out of Friday’s SANFL season opener.
Patrick Dangerfield kicked two goals and had a solid game for the Geelong Falcons in the TAC Under 18 competition on Sunday. He is training in Adelaide this week and will play with West Adelaide this weekend.
