Why do they play most of these games way out at Cranbourne  :P. The Vic Metro v WA game at the Dome isn't a bad one to go to though - Hurley, Trengove, Naitanui and Rich playing.

Day One details
afl.com.au

There were some familiar football names running around, such as Groenewegen, Rioli, Frawley and Hislop, plus another well-known Australian sporting name for NSW/ACT: golfer Brett Ogle’s son Chris, who is tied to the Western Bulldogs via the scholarship scheme.

Match One

THE NSW/ACT Rams broke away from the Northern Territory in the second half to win by 28 points. Luke Breust kicked four of the Rams’ 11 goals, while Ram Jordan Foster stood out with five contested marks and teammate Xavier McMahon had 24 touches.

Several scholarship holders tied to AFL clubs represented NSW/ACT with Ranga Ediriwickrama (Geelong) and Scott Reed (Collingwood) the standouts against the Thunder.

Queensland's Matt Thomson was the day's leading ball-winner, collecting 29 disposals.

The diminutive 172cm Daniel Trevena - the son of Port Adelaide development coach Darren - also impressed for Tasmania, collecting nine rebound 50s from defence.

Matt Burgan
afl.com.au
4:12 PM Sat 10 May, 2008

TASMANIA is on target to play off against the division one teams for this year's NAB AFL under-18 championship title, after it held off a surging Northern Territory in the curtain-raiser at the MCG before the Hall of Fame Tribute Match on Saturday.

After leading by 36 points at three quarter-time, Tassie conceded five goals to one as the Thunder roared in the final quarter, but held on to win 11.11 (77) to 10.4 (64).

The Territory has yet to win from its two matches so far.

Key Tasmanian forward and reigning under-18 All-Australian Aaron Cornelius kicked three goals, while Tyson Mihocek and Brodie Shade kicked two each.

Mitch Robinson and Ryan Harwood had a game-high 21 touches each, and were close to Tassies’s best.

Peter Rolfe, one of a handful of over-age Thunder players, was outstanding in defeat, booting five goals and collecting 17 touches.

Tasmania 3.5 6.7 10.9 11.11 (77)
NT            2.1 5.1  5.3    10.4 (64)

GOALS
Tasmania: Cornelius 3, Mihocek 2, Shade 2, Brakey, Cox, Hislop, Salter
Northern Territory: Rolfe 5, Hampton, May, Sharples, Taylor, Tungatalum

BEST
Tasmania: Robinson, Harwood, Salter, Cornelius, Shade, Hislop, Milne
Northern Territory: Rolfe, Sharples, Hale, Heenan, May, Ah Chee

New South Wales/Australian Capital Territory v Queensland
Division two qualifying match, MCG

THE NSW/ACT Rams staked their own claim on the division one play-offs, beating Queensland by 31 points: 9.13 (67) to 5.6 (36).

The Rams stepped up a gear in the second half after leading by seven points at half time, kicking five goals to two after the break.

Ranga Ediriwickrama, who is tied to Geelong via the NSW scholarship scheme, was outstanding for the winners with a game-high 32 disposals, while Scott Reed - linked with Collingwood via the same system - had 24 touches.

Key NSW/ACT forward Jordan Foster impressed again up forward with three goals and strong contested marking.

Matt Thomson was the Scorpions’ leading ball-winner with 28 disposals, while Joseph Daye, who attended last year's NAB AFL Draft Camp, won 25 touches.

The good thing about QLD and NT no longer being in the U18 champs is the new Gold Coast team has access to these kids anyway.

Kevin Sheahan on SEN (noting it's his job to pump up all young U18 footballers up)

Naitanui - Already BOG in a WAFL final last year. Built up since then. 197cm ruckman. Quickest kid of that size to come through the AFL academy. Leap and speed over first 5m best ever. He didn't make footy his proriety until he was 16 so still learning too.

Yarran - WA indigenous medium forward. Kicked 5 and then 7 in senior footy this year.

They are the likely the top 2 at this stage.

Others in first round - Ziebel (powerful midfielder), Watts (quick CHF/CHB, basketball background) and Trengrove (CHF,CHB, ruck).

First round is strong but depth of draft will be known after the U18 champs.
