South Adelaide is proud to reveal the 2019 Indigenous Guernsey to be worn against the Eagles on Saturday. 

Allan Sumner, the designer of the guernsey has captured the essence of how the Panthers connect to the southern zone. 

Sumner is a southern Indigenous artist and teaches Cultural Safety as part of the Poche Centre for Indigenous Health at Flinders University.

Acting Vice-Chancellor of Flinders University, Professor Clare Pollock said that the university is thrilled to have supported this initiative. 

"There are many ways in which we can recognise, value and celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's culture, including in the sporting arena. As part of our partnership with The Panthers, we're delighted to be supporting the Indigenous round match with this specially designed guernsey. It's not just beautiful, but demonstrates how valuable sport can be in sharing knowledge and understanding and promoting reconciliation." 

The name that was given to this artwork is 'Nurlungga' or River Bend.

Being situated in Noarlunga, the Kaurna spelling Nurlungga derives from the word "Nurlu" meaning a corner or curvature referring to the nearby Onkaparinga River.

The lines bending around the top left shoulder and the right abdominal area represents the Onkaparinga River.

The large circle on the bottom left represents SAFC and the smaller circles represent the players who come from different communities connecting the club and player together.

Combined with the Kaurna Shield, the overall artwork brings together both the strength of SAFC and the spirit of the land.

The jumper will be proudly worn during this weeks clash with the Eagles at Flinders University Stadium on Saturday, July 13. 

Match-worn guernseys will be available to purchase next week. More information to come.

South Adelaide vs Sturt
Round 12 - Flinders University Stadium - 07/07/19

Goals: Irra 2, Cross, Biemans, Overall, Emery, Schwarz, Whittlesea, Karpany
Best: Davis, Haines, Karpany, Liddle
Injuries: Nil
Crowd: 1675

South Adelaide were no match for Sturt, going down by 36 points in a bitter loss at Flinders University Stadium on Sunday.

The signs weren't great early, as Sturt kicked five straight goals to Souths two goals to give the Panthers a 16-point deficit at the first break.

The Panthers tried to get some momentum going but found it hard against a flood of Sturt players who created immense pressure on the home side with 71 tackles to Souths 41.

South Adelaide now sit fifth on the ladder as the battle for a finals spot continues to heat up.

The first goal of the game came from Sturt's Patullo five minutes into the first quarter.

However, Malcolm Karpany replied for the home side just two minutes later with his first goal of the match. Karpany would go to collect 24 disposals, five marks and eight clearances in an impressive display.

Things would begin to look bad as Sturt kicked three straight goals in just five minutes before Thomas Whittlesea (14 disposals and five marks) could answer back for the Panthers.

Patullo would kick his second goal of the game to end the quarter, sending South into the first break with a 2.2 (14) to 5.0 (30) deficit.

Abe Davis was busy around the ground, finishing the match with a game high 33 disposals as well as four marks and five clearances.

Meanwhile, Joseph Haines was once again a standout down back, collecting 31 disposals, four tackles, ten marks and 14 rebound 50s.

Anthony Biemans (seven disposals and four tackles) kicked the first goal of the second quarter.

However, it wasn't not an indication of things to come as Sturt would once again kick three goals to finish the quarter.

With a 3.3 (21) to 8.3 (51) deficit at the main break, the Panthers had plenty of work to do in order to take the much-needed points.

Just twenty seconds in the third quarter, Kirkwood would score for the visitors.

But Sam Overall (seven disposals and three tackles) would reply for South just one minute later.

Nic Schwarz would also follow up just a minute later to cut the deficit to under four goals.

Schwarz was busy all game, finishing the match with 27 disposals, five marks and five inside 50s.

However, once again Sturt were allowed to string together three straight goals mid-way through the third quarter.

Emmanuel Irra would steady to kick a goal from just inside the 50-metre arc to stop Sturt's run. Irra would follow up again to kick his second goal in just two minutes in a performance that also saw him gather 18 disposals, four marks and a team high five tackles.

The two quick goals by Irra saw the Panthers go into the final change with a 7.5 (47) to 12.4 (66) deficit.

With plenty to do in the final quarter, two goals by Sturt in the first seven minutes were the nail in the coffin for the Panthers.

However, South Adelaide were not ready to roll over, with Joel Cross (17 disposals, four marks, three tackles and four clearances) scoring midway through the quarter and was very unlucky not to be given a chance just minutes later.

Evans would reply for Sturt before Kyle Emery (five disposals) would kick the final goal of the game.

Nick Liddle was busy as usual, finishing the match with 27 disposals, five marks and three clearances.

Meanwhile, Lee Hoey played one of his best games for the seniors, finishing with 18 disposals, six marks and three tackles.

The Panthers now face the Eagles in a very important clash at Flinders University Stadium on Saturday, July 13 from 2:10pm.

MRS Property Reserves Match Report

South Adelaide vs Sturt
Round 12 - Flinders University Stadium - 07/07/19

Goals: Tucker, Wilkinson 2, McGree, Bogle, Baker, Beeche, Beenham
Best: Tucker, Bogle, Lovering, Coleman, Colwell
Injuries: Nil

South Adelaide Reserves snap their six-game losing streak with a strong win over the fourth placed Double Blues at Flinders University Stadium on Sunday.

The last time South Adelaide Reserves were on the winners list was round five, ironically after a win against Sturt.

The Panthers started brilliantly, kicking the first five goals before Sturt could manage their first goal at the twenty-fifth minute mark of the first quarter.

Luke Bogle kicked South's first of the day in a performance that would see him gather 31 disposals, six marks, six tackles and 11 clearances.

Nathan Beenham (nine disposals) and Aiden Baker (11 disposals and six marks) would follow up with their first goal of the game.

Meanwhile, Job Colwell was busy around the ground with 21 disposals and five marks as was Samuel Whitbread with 21 disposals and seven tackles.

The next two goals for the Panthers came through Cam McGree (11 disposals and 32 hit outs) and Eamon Wilkinson (five disposals).

Sturt's first and last goal of the quarter saw the Panthers go into the first break with a 5.1 (31) to 1.2 (8) lead.

The second quarter became more of a struggle as the first goal of the quarter came from Sturt after 11 minutes of play.

However, Darnell Tucker (12 disposals and nine tackles) and Joel Beeche (eight disposals and two tackles) would reply with the next two goals for the home side.

The Panthers would head into the main break with a 7.1 (43) to 3.6 (24) lead.

Only two goals would be kicked in the third quarter, with the first coming from Sturt at the eighth minute mark and the second goal coming ten minutes later from Tucker with his second goal of the match.

Ben Haren was good during his return from injury, finishing with 12 disposals, three marks and two tackles.

Things would begin to look shaky however, as Sturt managed to kick two goals in the first nine minutes of the final quarter.

The Panthers would be able to steady through Wilkinson's second goal of the game but a goal by Sturt at the twenty-second minute mark would cut South's lead to under a goal.

South Adelaide were able to hold on, repelling several attacks by Sturt in the dying stages with a smart clearance by McGree ending the last chance of a Sturt comeback.

Following the strong victory, the panthers now face the Eagles at Flinders University Stadium on Saturday, July 13 from 11:30am.

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.

South Adelaide now sit third on the ladder following a hard fought 28-point win against West Adelaide at City Mazda Stadium on a cold Sunday afternoon.

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.

The Panthers also spread the goals around, finishing with eight individual goal kickers for the match.

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.
