RPRTP pathway SANFLW 2022

Pinktails selected in SANFWL for NAFC & SAFC -Season 2022  

 The SANFLW is set to welcome Central Australian talent with players from the Alice Springs-based Pinktails program set to play in the competition during 2022.

Pinktails Swoop at SANFLW Opportunities – Minutes with Moose article

This upcoming season will see several female footballers from the Pinktails get to play in the South Australian Football League Women’s (SANFLW) competition with South Adelaide and North Adelaide.

The Pinktails, and their male counterparts the Redtails, are a part of the Right Tracks Program which aims to develop and build opportunities for young people living in remote regions such as Central Australia.

“It is so important that this SANFL and SANFLW partnership exists and continues for generations to come,” Rob Clarke said.

“… It builds the individual’s understanding that there is a choice to better yourself and if you commit to the positive choices the rewards are there to experience and show the way for others in their lives to help better them,” he said.

As well as sporting pathways, the program also educates and delivers sessions on topics such as life choices, leadership, mental health, school engagement, drugs and alcohol, and employment.

“Real pathways that can be touched by communities segregated by huge distance is something that is simply so important, Clarke said.

On Saturday, the South Adelaide Football Club announced the signing of four Pinktails; Shannon Hanning, Caitlin Couch, Brylee Kerrin and Maya Jakubiszyn (pictured above).

“We are excited to have been able to expand our partnership with the Redtails to now include the Pinktails,” South Adelaide’s Female Football and Football Operations Coordinator Jonathon Parker said.

“The work that Rob and his team do to allow exciting talented footballers to have an opportunity at the SANFLW level is fantastic,” Parker said.

Round One will see Shannon Hanning make her SANFLW debut as the Panthers travel to face Central District, while Maya Jakubiszyn will play in the earlier day’s Development Match.

“Coming from Alice Springs I never thought I’d be playing SANFLW,” Maya said when asked about her recent signing with the Panthers. “The South Adelaide team have been so welcoming and supportive.”

“I can’t wait to play alongside the girls, learn from them but also showcase what us Central Australian women can do,” she said.

Providing great opportunities to its members, this program also has existing partnerships with AFL Northern Territory and its Thunder Academy, as well as the Melbourne Demon’s Next Generation Academy.

Travelling doesn’t seem to be an issue for this program either, with the Redtails previously travelling to face South Adelaide’s zone club Encounter Bay, while also having played against the Casey Demons, Port Adelaide, and even New Zealand’s National team in Auckland.

This partnership with the SANFLW sides is another great opportunity for their players, while also providing the clubs with amazing talent from the Red Centre.

“The Pinktails program has helped me to develop my skills and fitness, as well as open amazing pathways for me to play at a higher level footy,” Maya said when asked about her time in the program.

“Would love to do a shout out to everyone involved in the Pinktails/Redtails program,” she said.

“Special mention to Rob Clarke, Ian McAdam and Darren Talbot who dedicate so much time, energy and patience into the players and the program,” she said.

“And thank you to the Panthers club, I am looking forward to a successful 2022 season both on and off the field.”

All of tomorrow’s action from Round One can be watched with a SANFL Now subscription. We will also continue to improve our coverage of the SANFLW with our updated Team of the Week series.

South Adelaide v Central Districts at Convenience Oval-Development at 9.50am, League at 11.50am -

What a journey it has been to get to this very exciting day. Lara Hardinggot selected in North Adelaide’s Developmentside and Doreena Hansen & Sarah Steele-Park ran out in the League team. What a Proud moment.

Then for South Adelaide we hadMaya Jakubiszynplay in the Development team while Shannon Hanning and Caitlin Couchput the Souths guernsey on for the League side. Congratulations Ladies.

This was such positive experience for all our Pinktail representatives and an amazing effort as a result of all their dedicated training leading into this memorable and uniquely special day.

Lara Harding - 9 final preparations, (pictured below), as she is about to run out for her first match in the reserves for North Adelaide Football Club.

How good is the Redtails logo on the North Adelaide playing shorts. Unbelievable partnership going from strength to strength.

Lara’s team went down by 8 points but Lara Hardingplayed an excellent game, playing approximately 90% game time mostly down back with some time in the midfield. Her pressure was awesome and the majority of her skills the same.

Sarah Steele-Park - 36 & Doreena Hansen - 41 pictured below receiving their debut jumpers prior to running out for North Adelaide’s Senior side against West Adelaide. These 2 ladies also managed to make an impact when given the opportunities. Maya Jakubiszyntook a few quarters to get into the game and gained confidence once she got her hands on the ball. Shannon Hanning and Caitlin Couchalso displayed some effective football to impress their Coaches in their League game. All the girls had plenty of positive moments from their first SANFLW experience and some constructive feedback from Coaches to work on for the next opportunity.

RPRTP Facebook post 12.02.2022 -post game

What a day for our very own Centralian Super Stars, paving the way for our current and upcoming young ones.

Two great games of footy where all 7 of our champions contributed. Fairly confident in saying that SA knows who our ladies all are now.

North Adelaide Footy Club got up in both game with the final match being an absolute nail bitter.

The Development game resultsSouth Adelaide Football Clubv North Adelaide Football Club

Maya Jakubiszyn played a solid game up forward for South Adelaide Football Club leading up at the footy and making options for her team mates time and time again.

Kyanne Campbell Bloomfield in her debut game kicked three points and looked absolutely dangerous in the forward line when she had the footy and pressured well with out it laying tackles and smothering the footy.

Lara Harding is going from strength to strength playing across half back repelling everything coming anywhere near her with her aggressive attack on the footy.

Senior’s South Adelaide Football Club v North Adelaide Football Club

Shannon Hanning was absolutely dynamite in the back line for SA, tacking Mark after mark and throwing herself into every single contest, I think NA though there was two of her at one stage. Racking up 11 kicks 6 marks 3 handle balls & 4 Tackles. Remarkable game. Named 5th best for South Adelaide.

Caitlin Couch for her debut game and the 90th woman to pull on a South Adelaide Senior Guernsey, was as solid as ever looking more than comfortable at this level , playing in a role she rarely if ever plays as a defensive forward. Caitlin is all class with, 7 kicks 2 marks 4 hand balls & 1 tackle.

Sarah Steele-Park Once again, Sarah was everywhere with an unstoppable work effort and team first attitude. I’d suggest she will be named in North’s best once the results are out. Sarah racked up 9 Kicks 1 mark 6 hand balls & 4 tackles with pressure effort after pressure effort.

Doreena Hansen hit her straps and was the possible difference in the end with 4 scoring shots 2 goals/2 behinds. She was basically unstoppable at one point when the ball hit the ground, Doreena at full pace would simply turn sprint gather goal.

The whole day was an absolute success for our 7 Central Australians.

SANFLW -Round 3 Indigenous Round 19&20.02.2022

So proud of these incredible women and the dedication, sacrifice and outstanding ability to take this all in their stride. It’s simply UNBELIEVABLE!

All four teams that they played for didn’t get the W, two were within all but a kick, one a few goals and one was a one-sided contest. Most of the footy played over the two days was at incredible high velocity and absolutely physical.

Kyanne Campbell Bloomfield kicked her first goal for the North Adelaide Football Club and the rest of our amazing Centralian’s played their hearts out.

Sarah Steele-Park, Doreena Hansen & Kyanne Campbell played on Saturday afternoon after arriving in Adelaide Friday. They had the full support of Vanessa Stokes, Maya Jakubiszyn & Shannon Hanning who watched on in the stands prior to their games on Sunday afternoon for South Adelaide Football Club

The North mob returned at 6am Sunday morning while the South mob fly back to Alice 6am this morning. All will be back at work straight after landing and then to training tonight.

No doubt these opportunities are awesome but the effort, dedication and shear strength required is real, no doubt at times daunting and they are most definitely earned.

Watching all of these young women growing into leaders is priceless. Keep strong, keep growing and stay on course, the genuine support and interest from not only Centralian’s but South Australian’s is growing.

SANFLW Round 4 - 26.02.2022

A wrap from last weekends amazing experience for 15 of our young stars, 10 men in the NAFC trial game and 5 women in SANFLW. Positive feedback was the common theme from the weekend. Boom.

Vanessa Stokes suited up for South Adelaide Football Club’s Reserve side and Shannon Hanning playing her fourth game in a row for the Panthers, played in the Senior side against Norwood. Shannon clocked up 6 tackles, 4 kicks, 1 handball & 1 mark, but it was her desperate efforts that stood out and her clever taps to advantage in the rough and tumble. Nessa’s team had a hard day going down by a fair bit, but in true Vanessa style, she kept at it all game, with forward building pressure as if she was playing backline, hitting contest after contest.

Kyanne Campbell Bloomfield is certainly starting to find her feet, by kicking 1 goal 2 in her third showing for the North Adelaide’s Reserves. To finish the game with a memorable moment she kicked the winning point to seal the game by a point against Districts.

In North Adelaide Senior side, you could say that Doreena Hansen, had her break out game following up from her two goals a couple of games ago. Doreena kicked 2 goals this week, as well as attacking the ball with intensity and emitting pressure acts that enabled her to directly assist at least 4 other North goals in their win over Central’s. Doreena must of impressed her Coaches as she made it in the team of the week.

Sarah Steele-Park is going from strength to strength and is a huge part of North Adelaide’s Senior side midfield dominance, her ability to run and support while applying pressure to the opposition is brilliant and although it didn’t always get recorded in the end of game stats, when watching from the sideline, her influence on the play is quite obvious. Sarah came away with 7 tackles, 4 marks, 9 kicks, 3 handballs and 3 clearances.

An incredibly busy yet fruitful weekend.

SANFLW Round 5 - 5.03.2022

Shannon has been incredible over the past several weeks for South Adelaide Football Club, in conversations with Head coach Rick Watts, it is clear that this champion young Centralian has been one of the most consistent Panther performers across the first 5 rounds. Unfortunately, she was assisted from the field in yesterday’s strong win against West Adelaide. We aren’t sure exactly what has occurred but we are certainly crossing all fingers and wish Shan a speedie recovery.

SANFLW Round 6  – 18th & 19th March 2022

Another huge weekend of Centralian’s from the Redtails Pinktails Right Tracks Program in the SANFLW season and SANFL trial series.

Sarah Steele-Park & Doreena Hansen started the weekend off as they flew in Friday night and arrived at Norwood’s home ground at Coopers Stadium with about 50 mins to spare before the first bounce between North Adelaide Football Club v Norwood. Both were a huge part of the win x 62 points, with Doreena having multiple shots on goal and scoring 1 goal & 2 points with many electrifying bursts through the packs and pressure acts. Sarah was her usual work horse self with 2 shots on goal herself, coming away with a point. Her absolute incredible ability to cover the ground was on show and her second half was brilliant. Sarah’s stats tally for the game: 7 tackles 10 kicks 4 handballs and 4 clearances covering 8.3 kms.

Brylee Kerrin then made her Senior debut playing alongside Caitlin Couch for South Adelaide against Woodville West Torrens where they also came out on top after a close fought win. Caitlin was solid as ever, with pressure act after pressure act, playing an absolute team game in the midfield, blocking, chasing and tackling from the start to the finish. Brylee started off a little overwhelmed but soon started to show her ability to evade and create. Brylee was so close to converting through the big sticks with a running goal but missed to the right. With the game on the line at the end of the third quarter, Brylee playing forward took it upon herself to push hard defensively and intercepted a ground ball, stepped and delivered the ball to her team mate extinguishing a possible scoring opportunity for WWTFC.

In the final game for the weekend Vanessa Stokes
play in the Reserves. Vanessa was named second best on ground for South Adelaide which was well deserved as she deflected WWTFC inside 50’s time and time again, with awesome pressure and clearing kicks. Her physical strength and well executed presence was obvious to all. Sadly, the South ladies didn’t get the win but fought all day to the very end.

Redtails SANFL trail game with North Adelaide FC -26.02.2022

Our 10 young Redtails men (Deacon Braun, Jackson Cole, Kurt Abbott, Kynan Kenny, Lachlan Dunemann, Ross Green, Shane Dorizzie, Shaun Byrne, Shawn Foster and Tyson Woods) played in the North Adelaide Football Club intra club match at Thebarton oval and had nothing but positive feedback from Jacob Surjan NAFC A’s Senior coach.

Jacob Surjan came down to our accommodation at West Beach Parks to welcome the group and gave a brief address about the North Adelaide Football Club, with a guideline to what they would be looking out from them in the trial game. Nigel Lockyer Jr also joined the group offering support and advice to his fellow Redtails countrymen.

The intra trial match was played at high pace with plenty of physical footy, of which our lads coped with and got involved in the game when the opportunities arose.

They had their own Pinktails cheer squad supporting and encouraging them before they headed off to their games later that day.

 Our 3 U18 Redtails lads, Kaleel Ross, Ross Green and Shaun Byrne (pictured below with Darren Talbot and Dylan Barry) got a run on Saturday morning with SAFC.
All three lads made a positive impact at SAFC. Head coach Mark Clayton’s feedback was extremely positive.


Kaleel had an awesome debut for South Adelaide footy club kicking 3 goals and attempting ‘mark of the year’ in South Adelaide’s U18 trial match against Sturt.
Kaleel’s aerial flight at the ball had the crowd on their feet but unfortunately, he went up that high that at some stage he had to come back down and landed badly cracking his collar bone on impact.

Great feedback from one of North’s coaches today in Darren Reeves, who is looking forward to watching this young man in action during the season. 


 The Oxford North Adelaide – Thank you post 25.03.2022

A massive thank you to Kylie Campbellfor organising our new partner - The Oxford North Adelaide located at 101 O’Connell Street, Adelaide.

Kylie asked her cousin, Symon Conway the super chef at The Oxford if he would consider making some meals for the travel crew from our awesome program when they travel each week to Adelaide to play in the SANFLW & SANFL competitions.

The idea was to feed the crew on Friday nights, Symon pictured below with Kurt and Tyson, said “no worries love to support and be apart of this and I’ll go one better and supply dinner after the games on Saturday night as well”.

What an absolute legend. Thank you mob so much.

If or when any of you visit Adelaide, please go to The Oxford for dinner or lunch, it is absolutely sensational.

Kurt put on the South Adelaide Panthers footy jumper against Tyson Woods who will be put on the North Adelaide Roosters Guernsey. Kurt was named in the back pocket and Tyson named in the forward pocket.

What are the chances that they both make their debut’s on the same weekend in opposing sides, but just how awesome is it that they have been selected and given this incredible opportunity.

What a start in the SANFL these two young Centralian’s had. Both showed their brilliance at times.

At 3/4 time North trailed South 51 to 67. Kurt Abbott’s second and third quarters were brilliant. There was a period of play of about 12 min where he racked up 4 kicks 1 Mark and 3 handballs, setting up his team mates with his skills and explosive pace. North Adelaide Football Clubcame from behind to steal the win x 3 points.

Awesome stuff Kurt Abbott & Tyson Japanangka Woods. #embracethepassiondeveloptolead

These two Centralian’s from our RPRTP program, got to go head-to-head today at Flinders University oval.

Kurt Abbott played mostly in the backline for South Adelaide FC racking up 10 disposals 2 tackles and a clearance. Gibson Turner played forward for the Glenelg FC booting 3goals 3 points for the game.

It was an awesome experience to see two young men who have been heavily involved in our programs over the years doing some amazing things on the field, but even better things off the field with their every day lives, such as their employment pathways and good health options mentally and physically.

Keep at it both of you, there were some exciting passages of play from both of you throughout today’s match. #embracethepassiondeveloptolead

He represented North Adelaide in 2021, where he played 5 reserves games, kicking 15 goals as part of our relationship with the Redtails Pinktails Right Tracks Program in Central Australia. 
Nigel will become the first player from the Right Track’s Program to move down to North Adelaide full time which is exciting for everyone involved in the partnership.


Nigel is an athletic forward who can hit the scoreboard in many ways. He has good speed and is strong aerially for his size. We look forward to him adding a different look to our existing forward structure in the upcoming season.

Nigel has also recently played for St Marys in the NTFL and was coached by our very own Darren Reeves in the NT Thunder Program at NEAFL level.

Nigel is an extremely talented footballer. He played a few reserves games for us last season and performed very well. 
He is part of the Redtails Program in Alice Springs and has decided to make the move to Adelaide full time to play with the Roosters. 
An outstanding young man who will excite the Prospect crowd with his athleticism and flair.
We are thrilled to have Nigel down in Adelaide full time and we are excited to watch what he can do on a week to week basis.
” Senior Coach Jacob Surjan


We would like to welcome Nigel and his family to North Adelaide and we look forward to watching him represent the Roosters in season 2022.
