FMD 1435. Shortest day of the year (almost) and a late game start, You have no competition Chandler. If there is a bigger one let me know.

Sturt surprised Port with a great 6 goal win and South had the week off after losing to Norwood.

First time around south won by 6 goals after a close first three quarters.

Sturt may make one change with Houlahan listed with concussion. South look set to have Wilkinson back and don't they need him. Selectors may also make the call on 2 others.

Sturt have won 4 of the last 5 at Unley.

You got it, South by a point.

if souf lose this their top three aspirations will take a big dive, panfers by 6 goals

This was going to be the C7 TV game, hence the start time of 2:35pm...

But it is now changing to Digital Pass and North v Port will be the televised game...

To be confirmed today, but I believe the start time will go back to the traditional 2:10pm start...

Myself and the great Wayne Weidemann calling this one now for the Digital Pass...

<clears throat>

2.20 would be the traditional start time Phil

South's season is on the line, they should win by 5 or 6 goals.

Be interesting to know how many non Adelaide or Port Adelaide games have been televised so far this season.

That’s a better strike rate than @DOC’s injury count…

One goat. Ok two.

Confirmed now a 2.10 start.

Hate to be pedantic Doc but all days are 24 hrs ( and a tad which gives us a leap year every 4 years). The amount of daylight is at it's shortest at present and gradually gets longer as we head to the Dec22.

You can't fight facts.

But if Brett was still posting he would.

Evans has retired, Sturt can't take a trick at the moment!

STURT

Sturt premiership forward Mark Evans will play his last game in the Statewide Super League when his side hosts South Adelaide at Unley Oval.

The Ken Farmer Medallist will be farewelled by the Unley faithful after failing to overcome an ongoing hamstring issue this season.

Evans, who has missed the past three matches with his hamstring complaint, returns to half-forward in the wake of Jordan Houlahan’s (concussion) unavailability.

The 29 -year-old, who played in Sturt’s 2016 and 2017 flags, will be playing his 156th League match and has booted a total of 252 goals.

Making his League debut for Norwood in Round 17, 2009, Evans played 41 games and kicked 61 goals for the Redlegs before moving to Oxford Terrace in 2015.

Tall defender Riley Grundy, wingman Josh Shute and utility Joel Thiele have also been added to the seven-man extended interchange bench.

SOUTH

South Adelaide will debut developing ruckman Bailey Griffiths against Sturt at Unley Oval.

The 21-year-old, who stands at 204cm, is the nephew of former Panther and Power premiership ruckman Dean Brogan.

Named as South’s best in his seventh Reserves games in Round 10, Griffiths is the son of Olympic basketballer Michelle Griffiths (nee Brogan).

Griffiths has been joined in South’s 25-man squad by fellow inclusions Eamon Wilkinson, Danny Juickers, Darnell Tucker, Luke Bogle and AAMI Rookie Jake McCreery.

McCreery (23, 174cm and 80kg), from Hallett Cove, is the older brother of former Panther Beau McCreery, who is now playing with AFL club Collingwood.
