Checkside Chats with SA U18 coach Tony Bamford

By ZAC MILBANK

The SA U18 team is flying. 

And a key feature of the Croweaters’ performance at the 2025 Marsh AFL National Championships has been their unselfish nature of play.

Sitting with a 3-0 win-loss record after victories against the Allies, Victoria Metro and Western Australia, SA can win its first title with a win against Victoria Country in Melbourne on Sunday June 29.

Tune in to the latest edition of Checkside Chats to hear from SA U18 coach Tony Bamford about what makes the Class of 2025 so different while also hearing in-depth player-by-player analysis.

Bamford discusses the progress of plenty of players, including captain Dyson Sharp, tall forwards Aidan Schubert, Cameron Nairn and Mitch Marsh, as well as Richmond father-son prospect Louis Kellaway.
