BETTA Team Selection: Round 19 SANFL v West Adelaide
After a strong win over the Roosters last week, the Panthers will head to Allied Waste Stadium to face the Bloods on Saturday afternoon.
Despite last week’s win, West Adelaide’s win over Glenelg ruled the Panthers out of finals contention.
During the week, it was announced that small forward Eamon Wilkinson will hang up the boots following Saturday’s game.
Wilkinson has played 115 Hostplus SANFL League games and kicked 126 goals since making his League debut in Round 16, 2019.
Arlo Draper will miss with a foot complaint, while skipper Oscar Clavarino will also be unavailable due to a hamstring issue.
Their absences open the door for Kyle Marshall, Jesse Nye, Bailey Pilmore, Lachlan Scott and Ben Shillabeer, who have all been included in the extended squad.
Meanwhile, the Reserves will also face the Bloods. While there is still a chance they could finish on top of the ladder, a percentage gap of just under three per cent to Glenelg could prove difficult to overcome.
However, a win combined with a Norwood loss would see the Panthers climb to second and earn a home final next week.
The Reserves get the day underway at 11.30am on Saturday, followed by the Panthers’ final League match of 2026 at 2.10pm.
