South Australia’s Under-18 team is playing for back-to-back national titles on Thursday.
The Croweaters are top of the Division One ladder and will stay there if they defeat Vic Metro at Geelong’s Simonds Stadium.
Depending on the last round scores, SA could possibly lose and still retain the title because of its percentage advantage.
Thursday’s game starts at 12.45pm (SA time) and will be live on the Fox Footy channel.
