Terrific performance from South. Attacked the footy hard, pressured the Bays into errors, kept running for four quarters, generally used it pretty well and always had somebody to kick to in the forward half.

The club name their best as: M. Karpany, P. Hunter, E. Wilkinson, J. Horne, H. Sampson, M. Broadbent.

Karpany's best game for the club after a forgettable 2020 to date, Hunter is an enormous presence, Wilkinson along with Mccreery were dangerous smalls, Horne has a mature head on his shoulders. Also thought Highmore was very good down back.

In 2016 and 2018 we were exposed 'on the outside' come finals time, but with the likes of Sampson, Andrews, Milsom, Bogle, Horne, McCreery, Wilkinson there is no shortage of dash from the younger guys.

Other than the first 15 mins and periods in the final term the Bays never looked like stringing enough good passages of play together to threaten. As already mentioned by some their skills were woeful at times. 7 of the top 9 "dream team" points scorers were Bays' players for what it's worth. Either it's a relatively useless performance measure, or suggests they had too many possessions that had no impact on the game. Or both.

The umps were whistle happy. A few too many "AFL" holding the ball calls made.

Ends a run of 4 straight finals losses for South, stemming back to the 2014 prelim v Power Reserves.

South and St Kilda both winning finals on the same weekend...2020 really is a unique year :shock:

A big investment by South in its local juniors is beginning to bear fruit.
Some of the bigger names had a quiet day today, but to their credit the youngsters werent over awed and stepped up to the plate.
Wilkinson,Mcgreery, Sampson,Horne and Bogle arent household names... but one or two of them certainly will be in years to come.
A great win today, but lots more to play for next week.
Go Panthers!

Thanks Pseudo, very nice comment. I had very similar sentiments from the Glenelg people sitting behind and in front of me at the game.
I’m sure the Tigers will be back stronger next year especially with Mark Stone in charge.

Well I’m just going to have to echo my fellow South people on here and mention how good the young fellas were, Karpany is all class and was fantastic, Hunter a big presence in the ruck and it was altogether a great team win against the reigning premiers! Glenelg were never going to lie down defending their premiership and they pushed hard in the last quarter but the Panthers steadied and kept them at bay (pun intended, NOT sorry lol).
Summerton managed to keep McBean to one goal which was near the end of the game and our defence stood up well for most of it.
Bring on the Eagles in the Prelim! Go the mighty Panthers!!

Well done, Panthers. Next week will make for a very interesting prelim final.

Commiserations Glenelg - I was expecting us to be playing next week, and part of me hoped that the Bays would get through so we'd get a North-Glenelg final, complete with crackerjack atmosphere and a healthy dose of nostalgia. Like others, I think they'll be back just as strong next season.

Sitting around after the game having quite a few cold ones, a person newly connected with the club stopped at our table of well worn supporters.

"What do you blokes normally do for a preliminary final?"

After quite some thought I replied.

"Watch two other teams".

Tony Bamford, while no longer there, set this all up 7-8 years back, he worked bloody hard to make sure their junior set up was the best it could be.

Im sure he is enjoying seeing South's run this year.

Good win Panfs, too skilled and too desperate. Saw nothing in the second game they should fear. All aboard!
