BETTA Team Selection: Round 9 SANFL v Adelaide

4 June 2026

After a disappointing loss to the reigning premiers, the Panthers will conclude their three game home stint against the Crows in the annual Magain Open House.

With free entry and parking, there is no better excuse to get along to Magain Stadium and see the Panthers as they look to bounce back.

South Adelaide has been forced to make three changes, with Oli Northam and Max Clifton ruled out due to knee complaints, while Arie Schoenmaker will miss with a foot injury.

The changes open the door for Jacob Sheean, who will make his league debut. The Noarlunga Football Club product has played 32 reserves games since 2024 after finishing that season in the under 18s. The tall defender will provide important cover with Schoenmaker unavailable.

During the week, Channel 7’s John Casey caught up with Harley Sparks ahead of this weekend’s clash.

 
 

Meanwhile, the reserves, who are sitting on top of the table, will look to continue their strong form when they take on the Bays.

In the biggest day of the year at Magain Stadium, the Panthers will once again host their annual King’s Birthday long weekend Magain Open House, with free entry and parking for all supporters.

Not only will there be great football, there will also be plenty of fun for the family, including jumping castles in the BETTA Seaford Family Zone, a petting zoo and much more, including the famous Catch Kingston thanks to Vili’s Family Bakery.
