SYDNEY AFL ROUND 15 2018
Article by Michael Shillito

Round 15 was played under sunny skies on Saturday afternoon. It was a round of footy that saw North Shore officially confirmed as minor premiers; and a round that saw the finals race cut to six teams, as St George and Camden’s mathematical finals hopes came to an end.

A twilight encounter at Sydney Uni No 1 Oval saw the Students take on ladder leaders North Shore. The Bombers have taken all before them this season, and went into this game knowing that a win would guarantee the minor premiership. The Students, in an extremely tight battle for finals positions, would do wonders for their cause of qualifying for the finals if they pull off the upset.
The game started at breakneck speed, with both teams willing to go long from the centre; and on the postage stamp sized Uni oval a long kick from the centre gets you deep in the attacking zone. The scoreboard was ticking over rapidly in a shootout of an opening term, but it was the Bombers who were looking the better side. There were few deviations from the expected form line as the Bombers landed six goals to three in the opening term and led by 18 points at the first change.
But whatever was said in the Sydney Uni huddle at quarter time had the desired effect, and the Students lifted their work rate around the ground. Suddenly the Bombers were under the pump as it was the Sydney Uni side who were getting the bulk of possession; landing some great tackles and putting on some impressive plays. Had the Students kicked straight in the second term, they could have established a handy lead and the game would have taken on a different complexion. But instead, they kicked 3.8 for the quarter. Their defence was magnificent, holding the Bombers to a single goal for the quarter, and scores were level at half time.
The Bombers had a fight on their hands, and the Students were right in this contest. Neither side was willing to concede an inch to the other during a tense and tight third quarter. The free-flowing footy of the first term was gone, and now it was a no-holds-barred physical contest. The ball was going wide, with a string of numerous ball-ups and boundary throw-ins. Just one goal apiece would be posted in the third term, and the Bombers led by two points at three quarter time.
It had been a thrilling encounter between two willing combatants; and the game was in the balance and there to be won. It was there for the team who would stand and deliver when the pressure was on, and that team was North Shore. The game was still an arm-wrestle early in the quarter, but as time ticked on the momentum swung the Bombers’ way. A late flurry of goals for the Bombers saw them land five goals to one for the quarter, enough to emerge 23-point winners.
The Bombers had been tested by the Students, but got the job done. Ned Campbell, Selby Lee-Steere and Josh Rayner were best for the Bombers; and made key contributions when the game was up for grabs. With the win, the Bombers remain three games plus plenty of percentage ahead of their nearest challengers; and the minor premiership is wrapped up.
Nick Bertino, Michael Fogarty and Braydon Pilot battled gamely all night for Sydney Uni. The Students had been worthy challengers for the Bombers, but in the end fell short. The loss sees them fall out of the top five. They are a game behind Manly and Pennant Hills, but with a better percentage; and can re-enter the five if they beat Manly next week.

Three games behind North Shore is East Coast. The Eagles remain in second place, but didn’t look totally convincing in a 38-point win over Wests at Picken Oval in a game that never reached any great heights.
The first quarter can only be described as a scrap. There were some ferocious bumps and some heavy tackles, and clean possessions of the footy were hard to come by. The Magpies were matching it with their highly-rated opponents around the ground, getting as much of the ball and creating as many chances. But the Eagles would score the only goal of the first quarter, leading by three points at quarter time.
The Eagles got on top in the second quarter, with their runners creating some space and marking options within the forward 50 presenting themselves. The Magpies were unable to stop the drive of the Eagles during the second quarter, as the Eagles turned on the firepower and carved out what would be a match-winning break. Five unanswered goals saw the Eagles leading by 31 points at the long break. Wests created chances, but were unable to make anything of them; and as they returned to the rooms at half time with no goals and nine behinds on the board, the body language made it clear that their chance of pulling off the upset was gone.
But against the run of play, the Magpies would win the third quarter. Not by much, but their desperation held the Eagles back in the third quarter. The Magpies, as they have done several times this year, showed some fighting spirit; but didn’t have the firepower to get themselves back in the contest. But with three goals to two, they had cut the margin back to 27 points at the last change.
There wasn’t much to inspire about the last quarter. The Eagles had the game safely won, and although they hadn’t been at their best were still too good for the Magpies to chase them down. The last quarter would yield three goals to one in favour of the Eagles, stretching the margin to 38 points; but much of the last quarter had the look of going through the motions before the final siren.
Mark Weekes kicked four goals for the Eagles; while Stuart Turner, Aaron Drinkwater and Andrew Browning picked up plenty of the ball around the ground. It wasn’t a day when the Eagles were at their best, but they did enough to get the win and they did manage to double the Magpies’ score. That was enough to keep their percentage ahead of UNSW-ES, but the percentage difference between the teams from second to sixth is very tight.
Ed Cole, Callan Dell and Nick Eynaud fought all the way for the Magpies. But it was a familiar story for them this season, without the big name players that would see them match it with the higher-ranked teams. It’s been a difficult year for the Magpies; but they have three more rounds in which to attempt a win that would see them avoid the wooden spoon.

UNSW-ES remain in third place, with the Bulldogs completing a 38-point win over Camden at Fairfax Reserve to maintain their status of being a game ahead of fourth.
The Bulldogs burst out of the blocks in the first quarter and did the bulk of the attacking, but some wasteful finishing would count against them. There was nothing wrong with the conditions at Fairfax; but the Bulldogs kept spraying shots wide of the big sticks. And once the yips had set in, it became as much psychological as physical. An inaccurate return of 1.8 for the quarter would see the Bulldogs lead by 12 points at quarter time, when the run of play suggested they should have been further ahead.
But the quarter time break gave the Bulldogs an opportunity to regroup and get their forward line structure back on board. And with the reshuffle in the second quarter, the Bulldogs began to reap some reward for effort, as three goals were posted in the second term. At the other end, the Cats managed a goal, but it was hard work for them on a day when their midfield was below their best and the Bulldogs were dominating possession and the inside 50 count. At half time the Bulldogs were leading by 25 points, and in what had been a low-scoring game, it was a reflection of the lopsided possession count.
It was a more open affair in the third quarter. The Cats had to throw caution to the wind and go all-out in attack if they were to have any hope of bridging the deficit. But although they would kick three goals for the quarter, they would also be exposed in defence as the Bulldog forwards had space to create leads and be in pole position for the marking contests. Four UNSW-ES goals for the quarter meant that, for all Camden’s attacking efforts, the Bulldogs still won the quarter and led by 34 points at three quarter time.
There was to be no miracle comeback for the Cats. The Bulldogs would go on with the job in the last quarter with another quarter of four goals to three before the clock counted down to a well-earned Bulldog win.
Steven Pollock took control on the forward line for the Bulldogs to finish with four goals; while around the ground Zac Cameron, Justin Cann and Alex Foote also featured prominently. With the win, the Bulldogs are a game clear of fourth; and only a minute percentage break off second. If any one of those missed shots during their period of inaccuracy in the first term had gone through, the Bulldogs would be ahead of the Eagles on the ladder. That’s how tight it is.
Josh Burke, William Gamble and Joel Bottin-Noonan provided solid service for the Cats. But it was a day when too many of their number were struggling to match it with their opponents. And with the loss, it is now mathematically guaranteed that the Cats will not be playing finals in 2018.

In fourth place is Manly. The Wolves have built their success in 2018 on the back of a home ground advantage at Weldon Oval, where they remain undefeated this season. But to maintain that unbeaten record they had to come from behind against a St George side that was coming into the game with a four-game winning streak on the board.
Normally the first quarter at Weldon is a bruising encounter, but not this time. Instead, it was a shootout as both sides looked to get the jump on the other only to be pegged back. There were lead changes and momentum swings during an entertaining opening term that saw the big forwards looking dangerous and the running midfielders given license to create the play. Six goals to five in the opening term saw the Dragons lead by five points at quarter time.
The speed of the first quarter wasn’t sustainable, and the game took a step slower in the second term. The physical pressure was stepped up, and both sides bolstered their defence and worked to stop the free-flowing play that they had allowed their opponent to perform in the first term. But again it was the Dragons who had the edge, with two goals to one for the quarter and a 10-point half time lead.
A fascinating contest was unfolding during the premiership quarter. The Dragons needed the win; after a slow start to the season they had won the last four but had to keep winning to keep Manly and the top five within striking distance. Riding high on form, their big names were still picking up plenty of the ball and the scoring chances were mounting up. But the Wolves also had some top players on fire and ready to clear the ball out of trouble. Little separated the two sides for much of the quarter, but a late surge by the Dragons saw them win the quarter by four goals to two and lead by 19 points at three quarter time.
The Dragons should have been safe from there; but as the last quarter got under way, the momentum of the game had visibly shifted. The Wolves kept the ball inside their forward 50 for considerable periods of time during the last quarter, and kept peppering the goals. Inaccuracy would count against the Wolves, as ten times they only drew a single flag from the goal umpire. The Dragons got one goal during the final term, which gave them some breathing space; but the Wolves kept coming. Their third goal for the quarter gave them the lead for the first time since the first term, and the final siren shortly afterwards kept the unbeaten streak at Weldon going.
For most of the day the Wolves were in trouble, but Sam Wicks kept a flicker of hope alive as he finished with four goals. James Brain, Connor Pettersson and Levi Brain were also standout performers for Manly. It had been a remarkable win, one that looked out of reach for much of the afternoon. But in the end, the Weldon fortress remains intact; as does the Wolves’ place within the top five.
Alex Wynn, Connor Flanagan and Tim Coenen impressed for St George. But the Dragons will be disappointed to drop this game after leading for most of the afternoon. In the end, the quest to extend the winning streak was not to be. And with the loss, their hopes of appearing in this year’s finals series is officially over.

Pennant Hills snapped a four-game losing streak and re-entered the top five at Trumper Park, comfortably accounting for UTS by 57 points in a high-scoring shootout.
From the start, it was clear the Demons were the stronger side. An inconsistent cross-wind, together with a curious case of the yips, prevented the Demons from taking full toll of the numerous chances that were presented to them; but a return of 4.10 was still too good against a Bats side that was held to a single goal for the opening term. Around the ground, the Demons looked to have winners and a lopsided possession count was working to their advantage as they powered their way to a 25-point quarter time lead.
The Bats had been badly beaten in the first quarter, but launched a mini-fightback in the second term which had some success in stemming the flow of the ball that had been so clear in the first quarter. The Bats won the quarter by three goals to two, tightening the run of play and manning up more effectively than what the loose runners in the first term had been allowed to get away with. But with the Demons still 18 points ahead at the long break, there was still plenty of work for the Bats to do.
Into the premiership quarter, which would be an extraordinary quarter of footy in which the defenders and tacklers were rendered impotent by a relentless tide of forward marking power and free-flowing run up and down the short confines of Trumper Park. The Demons had the edge in attacking prowess, and a marathon quarter would go their way by eight goals to five; with the faithful of both sides kept entertained by a series of trick shots from long distances and impossible angles.
But with a 39-point lead at the last change, the result of the game was beyond doubt. The entertainment continued in the last term; the kicks lengthening in line with the shadows as the sun set over the CBD. The final term would yield seven goals to four in favour of the Demons, as they completed a convincing win in a game that produced plenty of individual highlights but little in terms of a tight contest.
Aaron Crisfield and Matthew Preen finished with four goals apiece; with Crisfield joining Damian Dell’Aquila and Tom Angel among the Demons’ best. The Demons currently sit in fifth place, but as we know too well, Pennant Hills can never be written off. At this time last year, the Demons’ place in the top five was looking far from assured, as it looks now. And we all know what happened after that. It would be dangerous to write them off.
Patrick Brennan scored five goals for the Bats to be their best; while Rawson Kirkhope and Nathan Daniel also made strong contributions for the Bats. But again they were unable to put their opposition under four quarters of sustained pressure as they slumped to their seventh straight loss. Only three more weeks and this season will be over.
