Surprising to see Ben Haren and Sam Skinner do the old switcheroo and both played well with Haren kicking 3 goals and Skinner solid in defence, although he needs to remember to punch the ball sometimes. Most Panthers played well with Gibbs, Horne and Sampson standing out from my view on the north east flank. Enjoyed my first time at Elizabeth. Good hotdogs and it was made even better by a solid win. Go Panthers!

Totally concur
For me the question is are they learning anything from Thommo no improvement at all from what i have seen this year.

It's very simple, we don't have enough quality players.
Time to get out the brown paper bags methinks.

Our big blokes had no impact whilst Souths dominated.
A big offseason with recruiting is required.

Yeah I think we can all agree recruiting is a major issue.
Would be interesting to know if the club have looked at it in a review type format. I know we get a lot of ex players who are now coaching providing with names of players they believe would be good, I wonder if their just missing the mark a bit. Essentially is our scouting network ordinary, especially compared to other clubs.
Is it not so much the scouting or our ability to seal the deal, who are the people that talk, entertain a new recruit when they come over, are they not as skilled as people from other clubs or do they not have the resources.
Is it purely $$$$$ or simply the distance issue which for one reason or enough hasn't affected South Adelaide.
