South Adelaide Co-Captain Matt Rose notches up his 150th league match on Sunday against the Magpies.

Largs Bay native Matt Rose will line up for his 150th SANFL StateWide Super League match on Sunday, which is fittingly against his old side in Port Adelaide. 

Having made his debut in Round 2, 2010 for the Magpies, Rose went on to play 50 League matches over 4 seasons.

Crossing over to the Panthers at the start of the 2014 season due to the Magpies/Power merger, Rose has bloomed to become an integral part of the South Adelaide backline.  

Rose slotted in from the get-go by claiming the Mark Rawlins Memorial Trophy (Runner-Up Best & Fairest) in 2015. 

His consistency continued by being named the Best In Finals for his part in the 2016 campaign, off the back of a stand out year where he averaged 24 disposals a game, a career-high.

However, perhaps the greatest honour was when Rose was named Co-Captain with Joel Cross for 2019. 

Since joining the Panthers, Rose's leadership was evident by being a part of the leadership group in his second season, followed by being named Vice-Captain for the next three years. 

At the back end of his 6th season at Noarlunga, the 27-year-old is enjoying another consistent year across the half-back line, averaging 22 disposals a game.

Congratulations Rosey on 150 outstanding games. Here is to many more to come!

Get down to Flinders University Stadium on Sunday to help celebrate Rosey's 150th!

Orthopaedics SA Under-18s Match Report

South Adelaide vs Norwood
Round 14 - ACH Group Stadium - 21/07/19

Goals: McCreery 6, Sladojevic 4, Kraemer 3, Freitag, Roberts 2, Riddle
Best: Freitag, Kraemer, Douglass, Clifton, Horne, Sladojevic

South Adelaide Under-18s make a big statement by getting past the Redlegs on Sunday morning. 

Only 4 games to go in the season and we currently sit one game out of the finals, still needing to win every week from here on in.

Playing Norwood at Glenelg, we expected it to be a hard match up on a neutral ground, which is closer to the size of the parade than the size of Flinders University Stadium.

We had three very good ins for us this week with Jason Horne, Arlo Draper and Matthew Roberts back from State under 16 duties. Matthew Roberts made his debut in the Under 18s, Hayden Kernahan and Ben Ryan also came into the side.

We were confident the team was good enough, but we would need to stick to the way we wanted to play for four quarters.

In the typical trend, we again lost the toss and went against the breeze for the first quarter, but within a minute, we had kicked the first goal from our first inside 50 when Roberts handballed out to the running Mitch Riddle who finished.

Norwood kicked the next two before we got two late ones, Horne intercepted a Norwood switch and unselfishly passed to Nick Kraemer who kicked his first.

Not long later Kraemer kicked his second from a forward stoppage to give us a three-point lead at the first change.

The first quarter was very congested with 25 stoppages, now in the second quarter we had the wind we wanted to open the game up and it worked.

We played most of the game in our front half having 12 more inside 50s for the quarter and kicked 5 goals with Beau McCreery kicking two and singles to Daniel Sladojevic and Damon Freitag while Kraemer kicked his third.

This put us 29-points up at half time and in control of the game.

The third quarter is where we have fallen apart at times this year, so we had a big focus on sticking to our plan.

We had one structure breakdown which resulted in a goal, but for the most part we defended very well and were able to score in offence.

We managed to kick two goals for the quarter with McCreery kicking his third and Freitag marking and kicking his second late, but we missed other opportunities which would have put the game out of reach.

Heading into the last quarter we had a focus on finishing the game off, we wanted to win all four quarters, something we have not been able to do much this year.

Sladojevic started to mark the ball and covert kicking 3 for the quarter to give him four for the game.

McCreery continued to look dangerous both in the air and at ground level, who also kicked three for the quarter to give him a total of six. First gamer Matthew Roberts got some reward for his efforts kicking two for the quarter.

This gave us an eight-goal quarter, one of our best for the year, largely generated from how well we defended.

This was as good as I have seen the boys play and it should give them some confidence going into another must win game against the bays this week at home.

MRS Property League Match Report

South Adelaide @ Norwood
Round 14 - Coopers Stadium - 20/07/19

Goals: Cross, Fitt 2, Heaslip, Noble, Whittlesea
Best: Davis, Rose, Hoey, Summerton
Injuries: nil
Crowd: 1866

A costly second half saw the Panthers fall to a crushing 45-point defeat to Norwood at Coopers Stadium on Saturday.

The Panthers started strong, going into quarter time with a 3.6 (24) to 2.2 (14) lead.

However, South Adelaide managed just four more goals for the rest of the game while the home side kicked another 13 goals to hand the Panthers a 7.16 (58) to 15.13 (103) defeat.

Inaccuracy also didn't help the Panthers chances; finishing the game with a 30% scoring accuracy.

The first goal for the Panthers came through Thomas Whittlesea (nine disposals and five tackles) after just three minutes of play.

However, the Panthers wouldn't score another goal until Joel Cross (14 disposals, four tackles, and two clearances) kicked truly at the 23rd-minute mark.

Matt Rose was busy with 27 disposals, seven marks, and eight tackles while fellow defender Joe Haines continues his streak of good performances with 20 disposals, two marks, and eight rebound 50s.

Mark Noble (14 disposals and three clearances) would follow up not long after to give the panthers two quick goals to end the first quarter.

Coming out after the first break it was Ben Heaslip (18 disposals, six marks, and four tackles) who struck first.

However, Norwood would take control of the game with the next four goals to finish the quarter; sending the Panthers into the major break facing a 4.7 (31) to 7.5 (47) deficit.

South Adelaide's lack of a true ruckman showed; finishing the game with 27 hit-outs to Norwood's 54.

The Panthers managed to hold the home side to just one goal in the third; however, the Panthers inaccuracy meant they weren't able to make the most out of their momentum.

Cross managed to kick his second of the game at the seventh-minute mark and that would be the last goal for the visitors until Liam Fitt (11 disposals and five tackles) kicked truly at the eighteenth-minute mark.

Abe Davis continued his run of strong performances; finishing the match with 32 disposals, four marks, and five tackles as well as seven clearances.

Coming out after the final break and only trailing by seven points; things went drastically wrong for the Panthers as they managed just one goal through Fitt's second of the game, to Norwood's seven in the final term.

Norwood created many more chances than the visitors; finishing with 60 inside 50s to the Panthers 35.

Reece Milsom on debut finished with 11 disposals, two clearances and four tackles.

South Adelaide now sit sixth on the ladder game behind fifth spot but with greater percentage.

With the race for final spots becoming even tighter.

Be sure to get to Flinders University Stadium on Sunday to support the boys as they face bitter rival Port Adelaide on Sunday, July 28 from 2:10pm.

MRS Property Reserves Match Report

South Adelaide @ Norwood
Round 14 - Coopers Stadium - 20/07/19

Goals: Wilkinson 4, Elmes 2, Kennedy, Badger, Kappler
Best: Sampson, Wilkinson, McKinnon Loneragan
Injuries: Nil

South Adelaide Reserves fought hard but were no match for the ladder leading Redlegs, going down by 15 points at Coopers Stadium on Saturday.

South Adelaide managed to hold the ladder leaders to just one point in the first quarter.

However, inaccurate kicking meant the Panthers weren't able to make the most of their chances; going into the first break with a 2.9 (21) to 0.1 (1) lead.

Norwood would go on to kick six goals to South's two in the second quarter to put the Panthers on the back foot.

South Adelaide fought hard to try and regain the lead, but Norwood kicked the first two goals of the final term to seal the 9.11 (65) to 12.8 (80) defeat.

The signs looked good early; as Eamon Wilkinson (14 disposals and five marks) kicked truly just three minutes into the match to give the Panthers their first of the day.

However, that would be the last goal by any side during the opening term until Brett Kennedy (10 disposals and six tackles) goaled in the dying seconds of the quarter.

Coming out after quarter-time; Robert Badger (11 disposals and three marks) goaled after just one minute of play.

However, it was not a sign of things to come; as Norwood quickly gained momentum and took control of the game with the next five goals.

Wilkinson was able to stop the run with his second goal of the game at the eighteenth-minute mark, but Norwood was able to reply before halftime; sending the Panthers into the main break with a 4.9 (33) to 6.4 (40) deficit.

Hayden Sampson had been busy around the ground; collecting 25 disposals, six marks, four tackles and four clearances.

Meanwhile, Jesse McKinnon was also impressive with 19 disposals, nine tackles, and six clearances.

Coming out after halftime; it was Norwood who struck first before Wilkinson could reply with his third of the game.

Norwood would have another run of three goals before Jackson Elmes (five disposals and three tackles) could get one back for the visitors.

Jaiden Kappler (18 disposals and four clearances) would kick his first of the day to send South into the final change with a 7.10 (52) to 10.4 (64) deficit.

Norwood managed to kick two goals in the first seven minutes of the quarter before the Panthers could reply with Elmes's second goal of the game and Wilkonson's fourth but it was not enough.

The South Adelaide Reserves now face Glenelg at ACH Group Stadium on Saturday, July 27 from 10:25 am.

South Adelaide Football Club is pleased to officially unveil its "Champions" Mural celebrating past and present players.

The project, believed to be the first of its kind for a South Australian football club, has been undertaken by local Southern aerosol artist Morris Green.

South Adelaide Chair Margaret Nyland AM officially launched the mural explaining the great sense of pride the Club feels in its creation.

"Morris Green has done an outstanding job in bringing to life this project which provides an historical timeline of the Club's champions through its 143-year history.

"There can be little debate about the players that adorn it, but I'm sure there will be some about those that don't. We do have more space however!"

Ms Nyland also noted the special historical link the mural has with broader social issues.

"In South Australia we're celebrating 125 years of Women's suffrage, but what I think people don't quite know is that the Premier of the Government which introduced Women's suffrage was Charles Kingston, a former South Adelaide President," said Nyland.

'So I think it's pretty fitting that our mural outside commemorates not only the long time South Adelaide has been involved with football, but the entry of Women into the football competition.

The Champions mural became a possibility following receipt of a Public Improvement Grant from the City of Onkaparinga and the support of club sponsor Onsite Hire.

South Adelaide CEO Neill Sharpe acknowledged their support was critical in bringing the project to life.

"The City of Onkaparinga provided the impetus to undertake the project and Onsite Hire's support gave us the ability to make it a reality."

The artist given the task of bringing the mural to life was southern aerosol artist and tattooist Morris Green.  

"It's defiantly one of a kind" said Green.

"It means a lot, because, one it's great exposure for me and great for the club as well, I think its going to have a massive impact."

In one of his largest works to date, Green said there was a few challenges of working on such a large project, one of which was working off old photos.

Iconic South Adelaide players included in the mural are Dan Moriarty (3 Magarey Medals, 1 Knuckey Cup), David Kantilla (1964 Premiership player, 2 Knuckey Cups), Jim Deane (2 Magarey Medals, 6 Knuckey Cups) and Peter Darley (1964 Premiership player, 7 Knuckey Cups).

More recent players include Dual Magarey Medalist Joel Cross and Dual premiership player, 5-time Knuckey Cup winner Nick Liddle and 2018 Women's Best and Fairest, Nikki Gore.

The mural is now on display at the South Adelaide Football Club and the members of the southern community are welcomed and encourage to drop in and see the result of Morris work.
