South need to win & hope Norwood and/or Sturt lose to play finals.

Brad Crabbs last game at home before a barnstorming run through the finals culminating in a fitting premiership.

South by 5 goals.

There's the optimism I was looking for in the Norwood v West thread!

What a huge finish to the season awaits us! South Adelaide to get the win and shake up the finals. Michael Knoll you're welcome home any time!!

Draw.

Reckon we can beat the Crows at home.

Up to the footy gods working it all out for us from there.

Have a good vibe about this ....

Nick Liddle has announced he will retire at the end of the season which of course will be after we win the premiership
Congratulations Lids, an absolute star player and SAFC legend!

Nick Liddle. What a champion.

Will finish on 197 games.

Well played and will not be far off another Knuckey Cup.

Been a star for a long time. Don't get too many quality interstate recruits stick around as long as him these days. Would imagine he's universally respected throughout the competition and rightly so.

Be a big crowd at this game no doubt, Crows supporters will be there 25 deep?

Of course! The Crows have booked a finals spot, so why wouldn't they? Everyone gets excited when your team's playing in September.

I see what you did there.

It will be a huge crowd for our standards, at least 1000

Only if they're standing single file.

I think he's missed 5 games in those 10 seasons, thanks to an injury towards the end of 2015. Remarkably durable for a small bloke who is the bottom of every pack. Would love to know his free kick differential, certainly a favourite of the umps.

The question is, which South will turn up? Who knows; their best is certainly good enough to win this, but they've struggled for most of the season to string good performances together. For that reason, Adelaide by 21 points.

The question also is which Adelaide will turn up ?

So the crows ended up sneaking in a few AFL players that weren’t named on Thursday. Anyway, good hard game and nice to send off Crabb and Lids with a win. My friend from Memphis, Tennessee came along to his first game of Australian football and he enjoyed it, he even bought a Panthers cap so I have successfully brainwashed another poor soul. He couldn’t figure out how one team has full time professionals and the other doesn’t but I just said we don’t understand it either.

As is often the theme at South Adelaide, there’s always next year. Hopefully a lot of our young players stay on, they seem to have a talented bunch. Throw in some good recruits (but not too good right?) and no reason we can’t challenge next year. Lids looked like he could play another 5 years, he was brilliant today. I sure hope Crossy stays on. Go Panthers!!
