THE VFL won the possession and clearance counts, and had more forward 50 entries.
But the SANFL won where it mattered, on the scoreboard, in Saturday’s clash at North Port Oval.
Its 22-point victory made it three wins on the spin against the Victorians, in keeping with its record as the best performed state league at representative level in the past decade.
Goals from Scott Clouston, Nick Lower and Josh Scipione (from a dazzling snap) had put the VFL 11 points clear early in the final quarter.
But its run was done: it looked leg-weary as the visitors responded with six of the next seven goals.
The SANFL had the game’s dominant forward in Michael Wundke (five goals), another handy tall in Brett Eddy (three) and the brilliance of Ian Callinan (three).
