SOUTH ADELAIDE V ADELAIDE ROUND 4 -2019

SA V AC
Carlunga Oval
Saturday 20/4/2019
2:40pm start

SA 2 wins and a draw were the form team of the comp at 3/4 time v GL , and then held on for a draw after squandering a 35 point lead
SA easily accounted for CD and PA previously
AC 2-1 have played well in 2 wins , but a had a BIG loss to GL
Both teams performing a bit better than my pre season expectations
This should be an highly skilled match and potentially an exciting high scoring match
Perhaps SA at Carlunga should start slight favs to win this match

Nothing to do with the game but C7 reported SA receiving some compo but not near enough to the $20k for their lost player to Sydney.

SOUTH
South Adelaide will be without luckless utility Nic Schwarz for at least a month with a broken hand.
Schwarz, who missed all of last season through injury, will again be sidelined ahead of South’s contest against Adelaide on Saturday.
This will ensure one of the Panthers’ three inclusions will make a return to the 21 with Jesse McKinnon, Darnell Tucker and Jaidan Kappler all added to the extended interchange bench.
Reliable defender Joe Haines will play his 50th Statewide Super League match.

On the reserves bench for AC, Is that player Jackson Press formally from WWTFC. I always rated him and was disappointed when he left. Was in the 2016 GF squad for the Eagles.
