South Adelaide get their SANFL Statewide Super League campaign underway this Saturday at Flinders University Stadium.

The Panthers are set to unveil a new-look side, with as many as eight changes from the side that played in last year's Elimination Final on the cards.

Off season recruits Michael Knoll (Box Hill) and Malcolm Karpany (West Coast Eagles) are set to make their South Adelaide debuts, while the returning Emmanuel Irra has been named across half back.

Nic Schwarz is somewhat of a new recruit this season after missing 2018 with a knee issue, while injury also ruled Tyson Brown out of the finals and Hayden Sampson was listed as an emergency against the Roosters.

Young Panthers Jesse McKinnon and Darnell Tucker have also been named on an extended bench that must be trimmed by two.

Tucker, a speedy pressure forward product of South's junior program and Happy Valley (SFL), will make his SANFL League debut if selected.

High-flying spearhead Sam Overall is also set to play his 50th League game.

South have also named a youthful Reserves outfit, with up to 15 Panthers juniors to run out against the Bulldogs.

Action against Central District gets underway with the Reserves at 10:30am followed by the League side at 1:10pm.

South Adelaide's senior women conclude the day's triple header from 3:45pm. Entry to the women's game is free from three quarter time of the League game (approximately 3:15pm).

South Adelaide's women take on competition new comers Central District at Flinders University Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

As they officially push past the halfway mark of the season, the Panthers will make at least two changes to the side that topped Woodville-West Torrens last weekend.

Luckless midfielder Tonia Fielke is a heartbreaking omission after tearing the ACL in her left knee just minutes into her comeback from the same injury on the opposite leg.

Meanwhile, young defender Caitlin Radbone has also been omitted from the side.

Bolstering the Panthers stocks will be midfielders Grace Duffy and Natalie Gibbs, while forward Airlie Schirmer and Sarah Wright could also be in line for a recall.

Women's League action gets underway at 3:45pm this Saturday, following League (1.10pm) and Reserves (10.30am) Round 1 matches earlier in the day.

Entry to SANFLW games at Flinders University Stadium is free after three quarter time of the preceding League game (approximately 3:15pm).

South Adelaide is saddened to hear of the passing of former player Warren Berto.

Warren made his League debut in 2004 and won the Reserves Best & Fairest in the same year.

Following his time with the Panthers Warren also enjoyed a highly decorated sporting career in the Northern Territory.

The club wish to send our condolences to his friends and family.

The Board and Management of the South Adelaide Football Club wish to advise our members that we, along with other Foundation SANFL Clubs, wish to retain our players should they be selected by the Adelaide or Port Adelaide Football Clubs in the AFL mid-season rookie draft for the remainder of the season in which they are drafted. This draft, along with the pre-season supplementary list draft, was recently introduced by the AFL much to the disappointment of SANFL Clubs.

The South Adelaide Football Club accepts that any player taken by Adelaide or Port Adelaide would be required to train with the AFL side, however we strongly believe the player is to be released to play for their SANFL Club if not selected for senior AFL duty. This is to include minor round and finals games.  This is the model that the West Coast Eagles have agreed to with the WAFL.

The SANFL, at the request of the Clubs, has approached both Adelaide and Port Adelaide regarding this request and we await their response.
The South Adelaide Football Club has also written to the AFL seeking compensation and reimbursement of expenses following the selection by the Sydney Swans of pre-season recruit Hayden McLean. We are yet to receive a response.

Junior Match Report

Under-16 - Round 3
Flinders University Stadium - 24/03/19

South Adelaide	1.1	4.4	6.8	10.9	69
Eagles	4.4	5.4	8.5	11.6	72

Goals: Roberts 3, Bradley, Horne 2, Mitton, Morton, Rogers
Best: Horne, Roberts, Rogers, Draper, Birt, Treloar

A goal after the siren has sunk our Under-16s by three-point against the Eagles at Flinders University Stadium on Sunday morning.

Our young Panthers fought back incredibly hard to put themselves in a position to win, but ultimately fell to a 10.9 (69) to 11.6 (72) defeat.

We were after a fast start as we have been slow out of the blocks in the opening two rounds.

To the players credit our intensity was very good for the first five minutes, but we were unable to capitalise on the scoreboard.

The Eagles then gained control of the game and hurt us on turnover which ended up in goals. At the first change we found ourselves down 21.

We worked our way on top in the second quarter and controlled the play with our composed ball use. This time we were able to hit the scoreboard and went in at halftime trailing by just a goal.

The third was a real arm wrestle. As the breeze started to pick up it was going to be important to stay close enough as we were coming home with it behind our backs in the last.

We trailed by only nine points at the final break. The players defended really well, but we just couldn't capitalise on a few late opportunities to score.

Heading into the last we allowed the Eagles to score the first two goals of the quarter. Down 22, now things we're getting desperate.

The playing group showed great resilience to kick the next four goals and hit the front with two minutes to go.

We won the next clearance, but the Eagles managed to rush a point. We now lead by three points with 60 seconds remaining.

However, Woodville then went coast-to-coast without us touching the ball and took a mark inside 30m with 20 seconds left.

The siren sounded and they slotted the goal and we lost by three points.

The players showed great spirit to get back into a position to win but just fell short.

Next Saturday we travel to Prospect Oval to play Central District on neutral ground.

SAFCW Match Report

South Adelaide vs North Adelaide
Round 5 - Flinders University Stadium - 23/03/19

South Adelaide	2.3	5.3	5.8	9.12	66
Eagles	2.0	2.0	2.0	2.0	12

Goals: Charlton 3, Bennett 2, Campbell, Goding, Tahau, Walker-Murphy
Best: Charlton, Campbell, Munyard, Hammond, Gryczewski, Tahau
Injuries: Fielke (knee)

South Adelaide's senior women claimed a dominant win over Wooville-West Torrens at Flinders University Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The Panthers surged to a 9.12 (66) to 2.0 (12) victory on the back of an impressive Teah Charlton performance.

The young forward from Christies Beach racked up 24 touches and 16 tackles, while also slotting three goals in a standout display.

She was not alone with Nicole Campbell (20 possessions, six inside 50s and a goal) and Hannah Munyard (20 disposals and five inside 50s) also playing key roles in South kicking their highest score of the season.

Overall, South dominated possession (247 to 192) and controlled the territory game all afternoon, sending the ball into attack 43 times to 12.

As effective as South's offence was, their defence was equally stifling.

Marshalled by the dashing Cheyenne Hammond and netball convert Emma Cryczewski, South conceded only two goals for the afternoon and repelled 10 of a possible 12 Woodville forward forways.

Both Eagles goals came at the start of the first quarter. South were controlling the play, but unable to put a score on the board and were twice punished on the counter attack.

Dangerous forward Kiana Lee snapped one home from the south-eastern pocket, before ruck Caitlin Sampson crumbed nicely at the front of the contest and slotted one into a vacant goal square.

To make matters worse for South, midfielder Tonia Fielke playing in her comeback game from a torn ACL in her right knee had to be helped from the ground moments after the Panthers conceded the second goal.

Fielke turned to lay a tackle as her opponent charged through the middle of the ground and awkwardly twisted her right knee. She would take no further part in the game.

However, South soon clicked into gear and Charlton had her first of the game from a classy running shot in the playground pocket.

Madison Bennett kicked the hosts into the lead on the brink of quarter time. The speedster capitalised on some outstanding follow up work from young debutant Heidi Smith, who chased her own kick and laid a strong sheppard and open the way for Bennett to slot her first into an open goal.
 

The rest of the match was all Panthers.

Charlton had her second within minutes of the restart after courageously going back with the flight of the ball and marking a neat pass from Munyard.

Mykala Walker-Murphy added her name to the goal kickers list shortly after, converting a set shot from the pocket following a blocking free kick off the ball.

Charlton was again amongst it catching her opponent holding the ball in the forward 50 and kicking truly for her third.

Inaccuracy kept the score from getting out of hand as South only managed five behinds for the third term.

However, Dani Goding got things back on track for the hosts within a minute of the restart, marking strongly and snapping truly in the goal square.

Young forward Indy Tahau goalled soon after with a strong mark and finish direct in front, while Bennett added her second and Campbell her first, both the beneficiaries of some clean hands to run into open goals.

The win pushes South into second position on the ladder and just a win behind competition leaders Norwood.

Round 6 action sees the Panthers take on another SANFL Statewide Super Women's League new comer in Central District this Saturday.

Action gets underway from 3:45pm at Flinders University Stadium, following the Reserves (10:30am) and League (1:10pm) kicking off their season proper also against the Bulldogs.

League Match Report

SANFL Trial 3
Flinders University Stadium - 23/03/19

South Adelaide	4.3	4.3	7.7	10.12	72
Eagles	3.0	4.3	10.7	13.10	88

Goals: Liddle, Whittlesea 2, Davis, Haren, Cross, Schwarz, Cailotto, Tucker

South Adelaide's League could not keep pace with a free flowing Eagles outfit in their final trial game at Flinders University Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

A goalless second quarter and sluggish third term proved costly for Jarrad Wright's men, as they fell to a 10.12 (72) to 13.10 (88) defeat at the hands on Woodville-West Torrens.

The Panthers started well, controlling the play to take a nine point lead into the first break in play.

Ben Haren got his side off the mark with an accurate set shot from a pin point Abe Davis pass, before Davis soon got himself on the goal kickers list as he hammered home a long distance free kick.

The returning Nic Schwarz and co-captain Joel Cross also added majors scores for the term thanks to a clever snap in traffic and dead-eye set shot respectively.

However, after their fast start South stumbled in the second term and failed to fire a score.

Turnovers between the 50s, and in particular some poor forward entries allowed the Eagles to punish the hosts on the counter attack with their swift ball movement.

Fortunately, some in accuracy in front of goals and a goal saving Matt Rose fist on the goal line kept the scores tied at the major break.

The Eagles again controlled the third term. They capitalised on some poor skill errors and were providing their forwards with better service attacking the goal face.

Thankfully, Nick Liddle kept his side in the game with a strong mark and goal, before Darnell Tucker crumbed neatly to put his name on the scorecard.

Tom Whittlesea added his first with a long range effort against his old side, but it would be Woodville that held a three goal lead as the teams turned for home.

The game opened up in the final term and the Panthers ball skills returned to the classier level seen in the first term.

Tall defender Alex Cailotto was pushed forward and looked dangerous taking some contested marks early in the piece. His kicking was wayward though and he managed only 1.2 from his three attempts on goal.

Liddle and Whittlesea doubled their goal tallies and all of a sudden South were within a kick.

However, the Eagles swooped on the counter again to settle their nerves and secure a hard-fought win.

The Panthers get the season proper underway this Saturday, March 30 from 1.10pm against Central District at Flinders University Stadium.

Their game is bookended by the Reserves (10:30am) and Senior Women (3:45pm), both also against the Bulldogs.
