Under-16s Match Report

South Adelaide @ North Adelaide
Round 6 - Prospect Oval - 13/04/19

Goals: Roberts, Horne 3, Morton 2, Dekoning, Norman-Brown
Best: Horne, Roberts, Norman-Brown, Treloar, Rogers, Copley

South Adelaide's Under-16s claimed a 29-point victory over North Adelaide at Prospect Oval on Saturday afternoon.

Coming off our best win of the season, a 72-point victory over Glenelg at the bay, it was going to be important that the players remained focused and head into our game against the Roosters expecting the same result.

We got off to a slow start and were not clean with our skills and ball movement in the first 10 minutes, which allowed North some scoring opportunities.

Eventually we settled and gained control of the match as we started to impact the scoreboard.

In the second quarter we again worked our way on top with some really clean ball movement. This term we also had a much better impact on the scoreboard and went into halftime with a handy five-goal lead.

After the main break, we came out of the blocks really slow. To North's credit, they lifted their work rate and intensity and managed to win the quarter.

The final stanza was a very scrappy affair, but we managed to win the quarter and run away with a comfortable 29-point win.

We now face a short turnaround as we head to the Parade to face Norwood this Wednesday night.

The Redlegs are travelling well this season, sitting just below us on the ladder in third and having won their previous three games. 

This will be a great challenge for our boys in our final game before finals!

Show you are #SouthProud in 2019 with a Panthers Membership!

South Adelaide junior Zac Dumesny has been selected in the Australian under-17s side to face the New Zealand Hawks this month.

Dumesny has been included in the squad of 27 that features players eligible for the 2019 NAB AFL Draft.

The Panthers junior is one of only seven players selected from South Australia.

The squad also includes the younger brother of former Panther Adam Gulden, Errol, who is a member of the Sydney Swans Academy and the son of former South Adelaide midfield coach Ben Hollands, Elijah, who plies his trade with the Murray Bushrangers in Victoria.

The players will come together under coach Luke Power in Melbourne on Wednesday, April 24 for the start of the camp, which will conclude on Saturday, April 27 when they face the New Zealand side at Marvel Stadium in the curtain-raiser to the St Kilda and Adelaide clash.

In previous years the game has been played in New Zealand, but after changes to this year's under-18 system and Academy structure, it has been shifted to Melbourne.

South Adelaide journey down the hill to take on coastal rivals Glenelg in the annual Carey-Darley Cup at ACH Group Stadium this Saturday afternoon.

The Panthers are coming off consecutive wins to start the season after defeating Port Adelaide at Alberton in Round 2, but will face tough opposition in the Bays, who made easy work of the Crows last Friday.

South will make at least one change to the line up that took down the Magpies, with new recruit Kyle Emery selected to make his League debut.

Emery, 22, from Palmerston (NTFL)/Noarlunga (SFL), has enjoyed two strong showings for the Panthers Reserves this season playing as a strong-marking medium forward.

No omissions have been named at this stage, with big-bodied midfielder Jesse McKinnon also coming into the side on an extended interchange.

The Panthers also welcome back Anthony Biemans and Coby Helyar as they make their return to the field through the Reserves.

League action against Glenelg gets underway from 1:10pm, preceded by the Reserves (10:30am) and followed by the Senior Women (3:45pm).

On the day South will be celebrating milestones of club stalwarts Bradley Crabb and Tyson Brown, as they notch 200 and 50 League games respectively.

South Adelaide's return to ACH Group Stadium this Saturday to tackle Glenelg for the second week in a row.

The Panthers enjoyed a strong win over the Tigers in Round 7 and will be looking to replicate a similar performance again this weekend.

At least three changes will be made to that winning side, with Emma Gryczewski, Airlie Schirmer and debutant Brooklyn Kraft all omissions.

However, South do welcome back some significant firepower with star ruck Montana McKinnon returning from AFLW Academy commitments to face her old side.

Premiership defender Stacey Huddleston is also set for her first game of the season, named in a back pocket, while veteran defender Emily Woods, Grace Duffy and Elke Jarvis all find a place on an extended interchange.

Women's League action gets underway at the Bay from 3:45pm Saturday afternoon, preceded by Reserves (10:30am) and League (1:10pm) matches.

Entry is free to the SANFLW game from three quarter time of the League game. Approximately 3:10pm.

Bradley Crabb, 200th game

The veteran defender and former club captain from Kangaroo Island is on track to join the SANFL's '200 Club' in the Panthers Round 3 clash with Glenelg at the Bay. Reaching that milestone would make Crabby the first 200-game Panther since Trent Mills in 2004. If he plays all 18 home and away games this season it would push him into 11th all time on games played for South Adelaide, one behind champion wingman Ron Hateley's mark of 216.

Matt Rose, 150th SANFL game; 100th South Adelaide game

The newly promoted co-captain is on track for a double milestone in 2019. After playing 50 games with Port Adelaide Magpies before making the switch to Noarlunga, it is fitting that Rosey could notch his 150th SANFL game and 100th game for South Adelaide against his old side in Round 15. It is a mark that could have come earlier for the 27-year-old if not for some injury woes in recent seasons, but the skipper is fit and firing this year and ready to lead our backline with his trademark courageous play.

50 Gamers

Sam Overall (51 games) - the Panthers game-changing, but injury plagued key forward has inched towards his first South Adelaide milestone since bursting onto the scene in 2014, but notched his 50th appearance in blue and white in Round 1 this season.

Tyson Brown (49 games) - a likewise luckless run with injuries has stunted Tyson Brown's progress up the games played tally since making his League debut in 2011. Now an established presence in South's backline expect him to burst past 50 games like he bursts off the halfback flank.

Joseph Haines (48 games) - Joey made his debut in 2013 alongside the diminutive Caleb Daniel. After several years being in and out of the League side he now finds himself as an important part of the Panthers defence, playing all 19 games and finishing fifth in Knuckey Cup voting in 2018.

Emmanuel Irra (40 club games)  - always a crowd favourite thanks to his explosive dash and dare to break the lines, the E-Man has returned to the Panthers in 2018 after two years on Port Adelaide's AFL list as a Category B Rookie.

Ben Heaslip (44 games) - after making his debut in the Good Friday clash with Glenelg at the Bay in 2015, Slippa has steadily entrenched himself in the League team. He played 18 of 19 games in 2019 and is now a member of the leadership group. He is in line to notch his 50th on another public holiday as the Panthers clash with Norwood on the Queen's Birthday.

Tom Whittlesea (39 games) - Whitts played 12 League games in 2018 after making the switch from Woodville-West Torrens to reunite with former Reserves coach Jarrad Wright. Hayden McLean's move to Sydney opens the door to secure his spot in South's forward line and add to that tally.

Abe Davis (34 games) - after an injury spoiled debut season, Davis delivered a strong sophomore campaign as he played all 19 games in 2019. An equally devastating big-bodied midfielder and goal-kicking forward, Davis finished third in Knuckey Cup voting and fifth in the Magarey Medal. He will need another clean bill of health and play the full duration of the home and away season to reach game number 50 in 2019.

100 Goal Kickers

The years of 100 goal single seasons may be behind us, but the new 6-6-6 rule should open the ground for more scoring in 2019.

Nick Liddle (88 career goals), Ben Haren (67) and Sam Overall (71) are all within reach of raising the bat in front of the sticks for their career tallies.

Debutants

After handing nine players their League debut last season, and with another talented crop of juniors progressing into the senior program, expect the Panthers to blood a few more new faces throughout the season.

Darnell Tucker was the latest Panthers junior to progress to the League side, while ruckman Michael Knoll and former West Coast wingman Malcolm Karpany have also donned the blue and white for the first time.

South Adelaide co-captain Joel Cross has accepted a fine and reprimand handed down by the SANFL Match Review Panel.

Cross, who starred in the Panthers win over Port Adelaide at Alberton on Saturday, was cited for striking Magpie Jack Trengove.

South's stalwart midfielder was handed a base sanction of one match that was reduced to a fine and reprimand with an early guilty plea. He will be free to take on Glenelg at ACH Group Stadium this Saturday.

The two-time Magarey Medallist was also involved in an incident with Port Adelaide ruckman Billy Frampton, who was handed a three game suspension (down to two with an early guilty plea) for his intentional high hit on the Panthers skipper.
