BETTA Team Selection: SANFL Round 16 v Sturt

31 July 2025

After enjoying a week off and returning to the Bay on Sunday to witness the Panthers' SANFLW team claim the Premiership, South Adelaide now shifts focus to a major challenge against the undefeated Double Blues at Thomas Farms Oval on Saturday afternoon.

Buoyed by confidence following a strong performance against the reigning premiers a fortnight ago, the Panthers will be strengthened by the return of Luke Bogle. He joins the extended squad along with Tye Gander, Nich Weightman, and former Double Blue Brad Jefferies.

There is only one forced change to the side that faced Glenelg, with Angus Bradley ruled out due to an ankle injury.

The Panthers will also celebrate a major milestone, with 2024 Knuckey Cup winner Elliot Dunkin set to play his 100th Hostplus SANFL League match.

Dunkin played 41 games with West Adelaide before making the move to Magain Stadium in 2022, where he rediscovered his passion for football. That journey culminated in him winning the Knuckey Cup, South Adelaide’s best and fairest award for 2024.

Dunkin recently caught up with the SANFL’s Zac Milbank to reflect on his journey to the 100-game milestone.

Luke Bogle will also mark a significant achievement this weekend as he plays his 50th game for South Adelaide against the Double Blues.

Meanwhile, the Reserves will be looking to bounce back against Sturt after narrowly falling to the Bays a fortnight ago.
