SOUTH
South Adelaide could take an unchanged line-up into its clash with West Adelaide at Hickinbotham Oval on Sunday.
Chasing their third win in succession, the Panthers have included Scott Taylor and Jackson McMahon on the extended interchange bench after solid performances in the Reserves.
At least two players must be trimmed from coach Brad Gotch’s squad of 23 which accounted for Woodville-West Torrens in Round 2.

League
F: Barnes, Haren, Overall
HF: Cross, Eddy, Hitchcock
C: Fields, Seccull, Irra
HB: Gulden, De Visser, Redigolo
B: Daniel, Crabb, Rankine

R: Bass, Veide, Liddle
INT: Taylor, Cailotto, Schwarz, McMahon, Gotch
IN: Taylor, McMahon




WEST
West Adelaide coach Mark Mickan has resisted the temptation to thrust key defender Adam Hartlett into his side to face South at Hickinbotham Oval on Sunday.
Despite staring down the barrel at an 0-3 start to the season, Mickan has named Hartlett in the Reserves as he prepares to play his first game of the season.
The premiership backman has been restricted by a knee injury which ruled him out of all trial games, ensuring he will need to build match fitness.
Instead, Mickan has called upon Chris Burgess and Jack Agostino, who have been added to the 23-man squad which must be trimmed by two before the bounce.
Defender Justin Hardy will play his 100th SANFL IGA League match while Josh Schiller and Tyson Slattery will front for their 50th appearance.

League
F: Green, Webb, Fielke
HF: Stubbs, Middleton, Tuck
C: Haysman, Schmidt, Silverlock
HB: Turner, Slattery, Wasley-Black
B: Caire, Hardy, Hill
R: Willits, Stevens, Schiller

INT: O’Brien, Porplyzia, Agostino, Burgess, Klemke
IN: Burgess, Agostino

South by 3 or 4 goals.

Game deserves a decent crowd but is unlikely to receive it.

Match of the round.

South have a really settled side at the moment and quite a bit of experience now with 6 100 game players.

Think we can win it but expect Westies to bring it to us.

Have been impressed with the Big Rig & Alfred, both look like good recruits.

West by 5 goals.

The Mighty Panthers by 8 goals.

Soufs comfortably over the Blood 'n Tars.

Westies to spoil the party and win by 15-20 points

Shower or two and 22 degrees.

Might see our first sub 1000 crowd for the year.

Ripley's believe it or not...

South $1.45 v West $2.65. Line is 12.5 pts.

South at $1.90- 12.5 is the easiest money you will make !!!!!!!!

Not expecting the bloods to put up a decent fight wolf?

South will flog westies will be party time for the panthers tomorrow.

Battle of the Kerley Cup!!!!

South very good again today. Kicked two goals in the opening minutes and didn't look back. Mucked around and got a bit flashy at times in the 2nd, but responded after the break to play some of the best footy I've seen from a south side in a long time to kick 7 goals to 1.

Playing a more direct, attacking style so far when compared to 2015. Much easier on the eye. Eddy enjoyed not having Keogh as an opponent, while Overall and Haren have both been much more effective so far this year. Veide was very busy and broke the lines while Redigolo did little wrong in defense. Schwarz's best game at senior level.

Somewhat surprisingly the Bloods won the rucks/clearance numbers fairly convincingly. Apart from that though they were terrible. South certainly looked the hungrier outfit.

Typically small crowd, maybe 1500-1600.

Really , really good win.
A great score, no passengers, all played well.
onto the Dogs next week.
