Round 15- Glenelg v South @ Glenelg on Saturday

[saintal]

8th place Glenelg (3-8) hosting 3rd placed South Adelaide (9-3).

South have dominated the Tigers in recent seasons, having won 11 of the past 13 battles, including the past 7. The last time the Bays toppled South on their home deck was back in Fuller’s first year, 2010.

Schwarz could miss with concussion. Ellison should keep his spot after a strong debut. Will Haren return or be forced to regain his spot in the ressies?

The Bays have been disappointing over the past month but have ability to win this match. South can’t afford to drop it though and should prevail.

South WILL win

Game on in Glenelg as Panthers Battle Bays

This Saturday South Adelaide head to Gliderol Stadium to battle the Bays in a clash of coastal rivals for the Carey-Darley Cup.

The Panthers are looking to close out a three-game road trip with a victory against the Tigers. A win would give them a 2-1 record over this span after breaking their away hoodoo against Norwood at the Parade last weekend.

Victory over the Bays will be key in a week that could shake up the SANFL IGA ladder.

With league leaders Sturt facing fourth-placed Adelaide, a win for third-placed South could see them go equal first on points (if Adelaide win) or a further game clear of fourth (if Sturt win). Meanwhile, if plucky North can take a game from the Woodville-West Torrens, a Panthers victory would see them leapfrog the Eagles in at least second.

For a full breakdown of the Panthers/Tigers match-up check out this week's match preview here.

In the traditional coastal rivalry with the Tigers, the Panthers will be looking to keep control of the Carey-Darley Cup, which honours the contribution to football of superstar ruckmen Peter Carey and Peter Darley. South Adelaide are looking to extend their hold over the Cup to six years and their total record in Cup games to 17-9 since its inception in 1992.

However, before South can start thinking about claiming Cups or jostling for ladder position, they must head to Brighton Road and get the job done against a Glenelg side that is coming off the bye and a disappointing loss to West Adelaide and will be eager to halt a three-game losing streak.

The Panthers could again head into this week's clash unchanged, with Brad Gotch and his selection committee's only moves adding hard running midfielder Richard Newell and Encounter Bay product Ben Heaslip.

Young forward Codey Ellison has held his place in the side after being a late inclusion for Ben Haren (calf) to face the Norwood. The athletic former Reynella Winefly worked his way into the game against the Redlegs and impressed many with his marking and two late goals.

Haren headlines a pair of ins for the Reserves, with Cameron Hitchcock also joining the big forward in Adam Blakely's attacking line, after recovering from a hamstring injury suffered against North Adelaide in Round 10.

Unfortunately, the Reserves will be without the services of big-bodied defender Ben Darrou and youngster Scott O'Shaughnessy, who have been forced to the sidelines with injury.

Rounding out a three-game stretch of away games and with valuable ladder position up for grabs, the boys need your support more than ever!

Make sure you get to Gliderol Stadium this Saturday and get behind the team!

[another grub]

Another poor performance at home and Lokan would be getting a little nervous wouldnt he?

[PatowalongaPirate]

Nervous about what?

[Panther Pack]

A good game for South to fattening up their percentage!!!!

Bays have been enjoying those Latte's a little bit too much this winter.

With Kane Cornes announcing his retirement from the MFS is their any chance he could be the next coach of the bays???

Is Lokan in trouble????

[blueandwhite]

Always a bit of a struggle in the Darley/Carey Cup....Glenelg to take it up to the Panthers but I feel South have a fair bit to play for over the next month and will get the points.

[Wedgie]

Gotchy will coach circles around Lokan. The Panthers only by 32 points though as they prefer bigger grounds.

[johntheclaret]

Bays have flattered to deceive this year showing 'potential', whilst South have just got on with the business.
You have to hope the crowd will be the winner, along with the Panthers by 20-25 points

[Pseudo]

Oh dear.

Half time just over, and the club is out of stout.

This is going to get messy...

Holdys just across the road mate

Bays good by 10 points.

Never in doubt.

Bays good by 10 points.

Never in doubt.

Bugger the score, what happened on the alcohol front?!

[am Bays]

You really have to worry about Gotch's future when he gets out coached by Lokes and his team out-played by the Bay's....

Finals aren't played on postage stamps, they'll be right

[am Bays]

Bays good by 10 points.

Never in doubt.

It was only South....

[southee]

Pitiful and weak performance by South. No passion, pride or hungry today.

Outplayed by Glenelg who used the ball really well.

Many players in South showing really soft performances today. Thought were looked quite arrogant going into this game thinking it is just going to happen. The players forgot it requires hard at it footy. I'll be placing a few players on notice today.

Worst performance of the year in my book.

Seccull and Rose my only 2 players who could walk off the ground with heads held high.

If we are a premiership threat, massive improvement is needed. !!!!!!!

[PatowalongaPirate]

Bays played a good game and were able to add to their percentage!!!

South have been enjoying those pie floaters a little bit too much this winter.

Is Ron Fuller still with the MFS? Could be a chance to return to the Panfers???

Is Gotch in trouble???

[Cambridge Clarrie]

Ordinarily Gotch would be a dead man walking... Let's hope South have learned from past experiences though...
