South Australia has had four players selected in the 2025 Marsh AFL U16 All-Australian team. 

Croweaters captain Harvey Chapman and one of his deputies Taj Garrett, from Sturt, together with South Adelaide’s Zemes Pilot and Norwood’s Kai Ivins were chosen in the elite line-up.

Chapman, who displayed great maturity in the manner he led the side and marshalled SA’s defence, was named at full back while his Double Blues’ sidekick Garrett, who kicked the match-winner in Game 2, was listed on a wing.

Panthers livewire Pilot landed at centre half-forward while the sprightly Ivins, who provided plenty of dash, was named on a half-forward flank.

SA finished its campaign with a 1-2 win-loss record, its win against Victoria Country in Game 2 sandwiched by defeats to Western Australia (Game 1) and Victoria Metro (Game 3).
