A group of 38 players have been selected to represent South Australia in the U18 2024 AFL National Championships, which kicks off in May.

To be coached by SANFL U18 Academy Manager Tony Bamford, SA's line-up boasts 11 underage players and one overage player, South Adelaide forward Noah Howes.

Led by South Adelaide midfielder Sid Draper, the SA team is stacked with high-end talent, including father-son candidates, including the Camporeale twins โ€“ Ben and Lucas โ€“ from Glenelg (Carlton), North Adelaide's Louie Montgomery (Port Adelaide) and Woodville-West Torrens' Rome Burgoyne (Port Adelaide).

Familiar SANFL surnames include Ned Atkinson (Sturt/son of Brodie), Ned Bowman (Norwood/son of Lachie) and Jevan Phillipou (Eagles/son of Sam).

SA's opening clash will be against the Allies at Thebarton Oval on Sunday, May 26, followed by matches against Victoria Country (Sunday, June 9) in Victoria, Western Australia (Sunday, June 16) at Alberton Oval and Victoria Metro (Sunday, June 30) at Thebarton Oval.
