BETTA Team Selection: Round 16 SANFL v Adelaide
After having a week to reflect on the loss to Glenelg, the Panthers’ slim finals hopes now come down to Saturday's clash with the Crows.
A win would keep the Panthers in touch with the top five as the race for a finals place intensifies.
The Panthers will welcome several valuable inclusions to the extended squad, with Phoenix Hargrave, Olivier Northam, Max Clifton and Jesse Nye all named.
The Reserves will make seven changes to the side that faced Glenelg a fortnight ago. Ben Ashley-Cooper, Jay Chapman, Sam Foley, Ethan Johnson, Tye McManus,Bailey Pilmore and Harry Wadewitz have all been included in the extended squad.
A victory would see the Panthers move back into second position and strengthen their push for the valuable second chance as finals approach.
There are plenty of reasons to head to Magain Stadium on Saturday, with fun for the whole family in the BETTA Seaford Family Zone.
Activities include a jumping castle and the world famous Katch Kingston, thanks to Vili’s Family Bakery, at three quarter time.
Supporters can also take advantage of a huge merchandise sale, with selected items available from just $20.
The action begins with the Reserves at the slightly earlier time of 11.20 am on Saturday, followed by the League match at 2.10 pm.
Both matches will be streamed live and on demand through SANFL Now. Use the code SAFCFAN2026 at checkout to receive 10 per cent off.
