Round 19: South v Sturt - Sunday 9 August @ Hickinbotham Oval

South (3rd 11-4 55.23%) v Sturt (2nd 12-3 56.60%)
Sunday 9 August
Hickinbotham Oval

Reserves: 11:25am
League: 2:10pm

South demolished West last week, while Sturt got swept by the Eagles last week. Will South continue their perfect home ground record, or will Sturt bounce back for the win.

Panthers by 42 points...Gotchys' men undefeated at home and coming home with a wet sail!

Riley out for Sturt from their midfield. He craved us up at Unley last time we met.

I heard F.Evans for Sturt is out (??) - who will stand Eddy ??

Bigger oval at Noarlunga which Sturt struggle on.

Sturt lacking depth at the bottom of the ladder in the reserves.

Looking vulnerable for the Panthers to pounce upon.

South to beat Sturt and shut some of their players mouths up too. Action speaks louder than words !!!

South by 5 goals.

what a great point Southee about the bigger ovals that is, Sturt losing at Thebarton & Woodville is very valid indeed, i think South & the Eagles are the best two teams that i've seen this year so at home i'll tip South by over 5 goals

Should be a cracker, the Panthers at home by 2 goals

South still has a chance at minor premiership. Will be equal top if they win Saturday.

South by 27 points.

Losing Fraser hurts the double Blues. South at home will be too strong.

Wonder when the last time was that South was top at this time of the season?

1991.

They were minor premiers.

Adding in 2 more outs for Sturt would not have helped either. Their reserves are bottom so not much depth.

Great win today.
Had quiet day from Eddy which goes to show we are not a one man band. Hitchcock, Haren and Brown were very good, along with Cross Secull and Lidds.
Time get excited Panther fans,...

Agree, a good win by South, outplayed Sturt in most aspects of the game. Hope all the long suffering panther fans come out to support their team, they are looking good.

Great game - we came out of the blocks early and made a statement.

Fields had a near perfect game - pin point kicks. Newell played best game for us since coming over from Westies this year. Seccull, Liddle, Gulden all were fantastic. One player I think has really taken the next step up is Tyson Brown. Loving the way he attacks the footy and moves it.

Great feeling around the club at the moment. Watching the players walk off the field yesterday there was not a big reaction of joy or adulation - there is still plenty of work to be done.

Great to get that double chance in finals though
