South Adelaide vs West Adelaide
Round 11 - Flinders University Stadium - 29/06/19

Goals: Copley, Riddle, Oliver
Best: Kraemer, Dumesny, Douglass, Kernahan, Riddle, Lippett

South Adelaide Under-18s fell to West Adelaide in challenging conditions at Flinders University Stadium on Saturday. 

June 29th and we played at our home deck on a very rainy Saturday morning. We were coming up against fourth placed West Adelaide. We knew we were going to have a battle all day, as the conditions were extremely wet.

This week we had 3 changes to the team that lost against Glenelg in round 10. We welcomed back Zachary Dumesny, Marcus Lippett and Matthew Coulthard.

As we ran out it was evident that the oval was very wet and the ball was going to be slippery all game.

After a loss the week before, it was important that we responded with a good start to the game to keep finals in close reach.

However, we did not get off to the start we wanted and the scores in the first quarter showed.

There was a glimpse of good play which landed us our first goal of the game from a very good set shot by Mitch Riddle kicking into the wind.

The second quarter saw us play with the wind behind us.

We had more of the ball going forward which resulted in repeat inside 50s, but we did not capitalise on the opportunities.

Talon Copley managed to toe one in off the ground, but that was one of the rare opportunities that was taken in front of goal.

The Bloods kicked 7 points into the wind, which increased the margin to 9 points at the main break.

As we ran out for the start of the third quarter the rain really started to come down and the wind was picking up.

The conditions were not going to get any easier.

West Adelaide kicked two goals in the third term to stretch their lead out to 20 points at the three-quarter time break.

We were going into the last quarter with belief because in previous weeks we have shown that we can produce a big enough score to win a game.

It started well with Tyler Oliver scoring a goal within the first minute and a half of the quarter.

We dominated this quarter with majority of the footy being played in South's forward half and 50, but had trouble scoring goals as 3 more behinds were scored.

It was a very congested final term with lots of players around the ball, and plenty of ball ups around the ground which ended in an 11-point loss.

It wasn't the outcome that we desired as it puts us 2 games out of the 4. We look to gain some form and momentum for next week against Sturt.

This is a must win game to keep our final hopes alive.

The Panthers overcame a shaky start that saw them score just five behinds in the opening quarter, to win 9.14 (68) to 5.10 (40).

Despite trailing by nine points at quarter time; South regrouped and took control of game, holding West Adelaide to just three goals for the next three quarters.

Joseph Haines was impressive for the away side, finishing the match with 33 disposals, 12 marks and nine rebound 50s.

The game began with back to back goals for West Adelaide and it would have been more if it wasn't for the Panthers strong backline that held firm despite the repeated inside 50s.

Brad Crabb (nine disposals, five marks and four tackles) and Tyson Brown (15 disposals, five marks and three rebound 50s) helped minimize the damage caused by the Bloods forwards.

It wasn't until the ninth minute mark of the second quarter that the Panthers finally scored a goal through Kyle Emery (10 disposals and six marks).

Eight minutes later a huge kick by Liam Fitt (six disposals and five tackles) put the Panthers in-front, before a goal by Joel Cross (22 disposals, six clearances and four rebound 50s) gave the Panthers a 3.10 (28) to 2.4 (16) lead at the main break.

South Adelaide dominated the aerial contest, collecting 14 contested marks to West Adelaide's four.

However, both sides were inaccurate in the cold conditions; with South finishing with a 39% scoring accuracy and West Adelaide with a 33% scoring accuracy.

Coming out after halftime, Cross followed up to kick his second of the match and what followed was a shoot out between the two sides.

Beech responded for the home side at the eighth minute mark of the third term.

However, just two minutes later, Alex Cailotto (four tackles and 12 hit outs) marked his return to the side with a goal.

South were not able to kick back to back goals however, as Haysman struck back for West just two minutes later.

Hayden Sampson (13 disposals and six tackles) would reply for the Panthers at the fifteenth minute mark of the quarter.

West Adelaide would strike back again just two minutes later with a goal by Turner.

On return to the league side, Emmanuel Irra was busy supplying the Panthers with plenty of outside run, finishing with 14 disposals and four tackles.

Meanwhile, Nic Schwarz was getting plenty of the ball for the away side, collecting 23 disposals and four tackles while also creating plenty of chances with seven clearances and six inside 50s.

The Panthers finally managed back to back goals to finish the quarter; with a goal by Malcolm Karpany (22 disposals, seven marks and six tackles) and a goal by Mark Noble (24 disposals, six marks and six tackles) giving South Adelaide a 8.13 (61) to 5.4 (34) lead at the final break.

Anthony Biemans provided plenty of forward pressure for South, finishing with seven marks and five tackles.

West Adelaide failed to capitalise in front of goal in the final term, finishing with just six behinds; with the only goal of the final term coming from Nick Liddle (21 disposals, eight marks and two inside 50s).

It was a strong win away from home for the Panthers; with South gaining the much needed two points as the race for a top five spot begins to heat up, as five teams now battle out for three spots.

The third placed Panthers now face Sturt in an important clash at Flinders University Stadium on Sunday, July 7 from 2:10 pm.

Flinders University Stadium is receiving a face lift as past and present Panther greats are honoured with a mural. 

The South Adelaide Football Club is excited to announce that work has commenced on the painting of a mural at Flinders University Stadium recognising its past and more recent champions.

Southern Artist Morris Green has been charged with the historic project, which will honour the greats of the South Adelaide Football Club.

"Morris is an extremely talented artist and our members, supporters and the general public will get a sense of that very quickly as they watch the mural come to life" said South Adelaide CEO Neill.

"It will be a terrific celebration of the South Adelaide Football Club, but also a prominent piece of artwork in the south of Adelaide. I'm not aware of anything quite like it in football terms in the State".

The project has been in the works for some time which will give a sense of the proud 143-year history of the Panthers, as you enter Flinders University Stadium. 

Over the coming weeks the mural will begin to take shape and will become an iconic feature at the ground. 

It anticipated the mural will be completed in the next 2-3 weeks. Supporters and members will be kept updated on its progress over the coming weeks. 

The South Adelaide Football Club thanks the City of Onkaparinga for their support of the project and the assistance of On-Site Hire.

South Adelaide vs Glenelg
Round 10 - Flinders University Stadium - 16/06/19

South Adelaide knocks off the ladder leading Tigers in a nail-biting finish at Flinders University Stadium on Sunday.

South Adelaide knew they had plenty of work to do in order to beat Glenelg, who have not lost since round one this season.

In a game that would be "season defining", the Panthers once again matched up well on Glenelg as both teams went head to head, collecting 44 inside 50s each.

The match had several key moments but a 'Leo Barry' style mark by Joseph Haines in the dying stages of the match made sure the Panthers came out on top.

The win sees the Panthers hold onto fourth spot and sit just one win behind third place as the race for a top five finish tightens.

South Adelaide had plenty of chances in the first, but only managed five behinds while Glenelg's dangerous forward line kicked three goals before quarter time.

Motlop kicked his first for the visitors before Anthony Biemans (4 disposals and two tackles) marked his return to the league side with the Panthers first of the match.

What followed was a shoot out between two very evenly match sides as Glenelg replied before Biemans struck back again.

McBean kicked his second goal of the match for the visitors as the Panthers struggled to get back to back goals.

However, Kyle Emery (seven disposals and four tackles) stepped up for the home side, kicking two goals in just four minutes.

The game began to open up and the Panthers took advantage, as Biemans kicked his third for quarter and Hayden Sampson (18 disposals and five marks) kicked his first as the South headed into the main break with a 6.8 (44) to 6.2 (38) lead.

Having struggled throughout this season with their third quarter performances, things looked worrying as Reynolds kicked his second for the visitors just two minutes into the quarter.

However, Abe Davis would reply for the Panthers just two minutes later as he kicked his first goal of the game. Davis would go on to finish with an impressive best on ground performance with 26 disposals, six tackles, six inside 50s and six clearances.

Joel Cross was also busy as usual, finishing the match with 27 disposals, seven marks, five tackles and four clearances.

Scott kicked back to back goals in just two minutes for the Tigers as they threatened to take control of the game.

Just two minutes later, Emery would follow up to kick his third of the game, but Reynolds would strike back kicking his third for the Tigers.

Playing his fiftieth game for South Adelaide, Ben Heaslip (19 disposals, three tackles and five marks) struck late in the quarter to give the Panthers a 11.9 (75) to 11.2 (68) lead at the final break.

The final quarter saw the game fall into a struggle, as both teams attacked the football relentlessly, but as the teams were so evenly matched, very few breakthroughs were made.

This was until Reynolds kicked his fifth goal of the game, creating flashbacks to the previous round's two-point loss to Norwood and the round three draw against the Tigers.

The Panthers were seemingly trapped in Glenelg's forward line as repeated inside 50s put immense pressure on Souths defence.

Bradley Crabb did his best to stop the dangerous McBean while also gathering nine disposals, three marks and two tackles.

However, the Panthers suddenly got a chance to breakthrough and they took it, rebounding with immense speed and allowing Cross to kick a goal to put the Panthers in front.

A similar situation not long after saw the rebounding Panthers score a goal, as a pass by Cross landed perfectly for Nick Liddle (26 disposals, seven inside 50s and three marks).

However, McBean struck back within the next minute to cut the Panthers lead to under a goal.

With the Panthers under immense pressure as Glenelg has repeated inside 50s, it was a huge pack mark by Joey Haines that was reminiscent of Leo Barry's famous grand final winning mark, defeated Glenelg's last chance at stealing the win.

With a strong all-around team effort resulting in a hard-fought and well deserved 13.9 (87) to 13.5 (83) victory for the Panthers.

The Panthers now enjoy a well-earned break before heading to City Mazda Stadium on Sunday, June 30 to face West Adelaide from 2:10pm.
