one thiss is Harry boy looking to jump in here first bounce get this game underway blind's University Stadium St South both looking for their first win of the Season Doyle got it up quickly bsby a little kick forward Matthews couldn't pick it up but Snelling can good kick moving forward H well done two attempts at it tried to keep his feet just lost it in the end pressure on loose picked up good handall face backs the home opening goal the double [Applause] [Music] Blues that's a bad error in defense for South adite just to allow them to come through the ball was in dispute that it's just a mental lapse in concentration something went past it fa Sparks just picked it up and said thanks H just strolling into goal well it's a brilliant first bounce and driveing their forward line but just a couple of Errors there someon went past the foot the Max's Tires replay showing the pressure which s to put on F Sparks effective handall just sets up H as he wals in for the first of the afternoon 209 goals for Josh H comfortably the biggest goal kicker on on this field no one in fact actually has hit the 100 outside of Liam fit Beyond Joshy hone here so Megan doing the rock work up against big Amos again and we just see Jones bad has be sitting over the top there those 200 goals soda how many have been the channel 7 goal of the week as well he's a little star isn't he Premier player as well in no case Voss in this St lineup with that ankle injury so it does open the door for couple of other boys to really get an opportunity here's Doyle Center of the ground so the blues get another clearance not been able to take it there was Matthews just not clean enough there's Battersby gives off is's a chance now the kick coming from carrye into the pocket and taking out of bounds so James Matthews provides a spark at the center bounds he comes steaming in off the front of the Center Square to try and help out around there because he's got that agility and speed and then he works back really pushes back hard into that attacking 50 to get another option double Blues looking to get another goal from stoppage here Megan in front of face Sparks got the tap down over the back quick series of hands ends up with Collins who goes short quite reach its targetting arand and over the boundary line she goes experienced camp play a guy page making sure of that great crowd in attendance first 300 participants in today into the over got a free glass of scapino wine as well over the age of 18 so there's going to be some you tell me out there the sful super match this is so lots of activity going on little outside kick came from slimming into the forward line working overtime there is Maxi Clifton big job for Max Clifton just game number two he looks like he's got Josh hone to deal with South haven't had an easy possession as yet every disposal they've had all of their six have been under pressure Sparks tapped it down slimming trying to get through can't quite do thato that that was a good effort by Davis loose awkward Wilkinson in battle here TR to be he opponent but just pushing that forward and doing very well with zman in the end rewarded long kick to pull forward Fon trying to make his way forward nearly got a handle it he sped nearly in the back good schroer he'll get out to the outer side good work by schroer Steady head there under pressure just his second game schroer up against MCR and giving away a lot in height and weight in that one-on-one matchup followed up with some drive and run though once to hit the deck so arand to Bedford and then he's knocked it on to Sho back Jordy Shack deep in defense decides to head up down the line a defensive there some pretty nice work from megans just to try and keep the ball alive kick from Bedford couldn't get through suddenly another opportunity for South Duncan plenty of it last week combining as well and suddenly an opportunity here at halfback to reset that 45 kick if you can get on that angle defensive halfback and then go that really sets up your whole play but St have done a good job of just slowing this play down again though Bradley got it to Duncan who comes back summon wants to switch does that well Douglas stops props holding play up at the moment taking the sting out of it weaton just waiting for an option to come up and in time to set up though goes for a long ball punched away who's the ground LEL threw that one up almost wasn't it thinking well that is the long handle again switching back in play good tackle that's a great tackle in the end think I knew that was coming and that's a terrific tackle and a reward for effort from Bradley opportunity for shoe back to go forward with hands on the back there no the up said that's all good when you saw kumas was taken out of position by hals and you know he kicked his three goals we talked about him before the game in that round one match what can he bigles well may have had a pretty good Vision had pretty good Vision there kumas is a strong Dow Defender doesn't normally get pushed under that easily but uh this young man's confidence in sky at the moment he's a big boy Noah house come through from Port NOA and spent a bit of time doing some surf life saving so he's a big fit unit and he's blown that one out to the right [ __ ] divers that's it you have had some good players out of p no longa too so have Great Southern footy league with great nicknames of their clubs quick kick re-entry that's another attempt not not paid F was it maybe it was touched and in the end now said I'll have that one Perez just Ling The Tackle but Fair's got a fair argument that that was a mark play goes on he's going back in for more hard work umpire this time says HB yeah Tu M wants to get out of there now so let be the pressure in the South out late attacking 50 as far as tackling pressure was looking really good at the moment BBY was very good and we saw only moments ago with Perez getting in an under two so kick coming from gas to con 40 couldn't take it and free kicks been found for South Adelaide so here shoe back we've seen a bit of the ball from him so far up to his third possession there Samson sporting the pink beig boots too the son of a gun become a really important player for South Adela so he pumps the ball back into 50 free tag pushed out of the way and Sensational yep I said that's all all right good body use and nice strong Mark taken there by comos oh that was brilliant had uh he's so good at his rebound 50 work it's great to see him in the state side as well against Victoria but just sitting under that after been beating in a one-on-one and then just stands under it with such confidence and backs himself in a lot of Defenders after being beaten would go for the fist but because of his competitive nature now hard years backs himself in a really strong intercepting Mark barrows and summon I saw that one to the boundary line Megan's trying to win front position here at ground level Samson quickly little give just ran into trouble there maybe got to slap in the chops from Toy but not paid as they push and chub about that get themselves reset thrown up pins again did okay trying to push it Forward good contest big man well done turn1 CM trying to get down there that's a good effort and he'll get a stoppage on the top of the 50 South Ad trying to get their first goal love that second effort there from miggins as he got the hit out and then followed up at ground level and went through forced another stoppage megans from behind of Doyle little knock forward now that was inventive creativea D just coming through there the Big B close to the line little hand ball comes from Snelling hard kick forward Mark not completed there Fair crack added by mcfadin and free kick up by Cory Bowen happy to pay that and that's gone against Liam Knight short one Henry kry long ball he's going to come back that's good courage didn't quite complete the Mark H tried to kick it off the ground couldn't get away with it so Bedford will switch out get the double Blues out of trouble oh sorry the Panthers out of trouble The Tackle along this Western Wing for Anderson with his first disposal was a really good one hearing from Marty mat in the pregame on debut this afternoon gets it in there quick so their disposal efficiency for South W it is good 82% of their kicks have hit the target a lot of it has been in control sort of stop play they're going to have to try and ramp up the speed of ball ball movement at some stage any statistics uh starting to get a gap in them rep big LS at all the marks that's where South we talked about how they are hitting their target so it's 125 in favor of South but a lot of those are in the defensive half we know how s how good stur with contested possession south of matchan with that one at the moment 1210 could have been old in the ball the Umpire allowed it to go on shac just trying to get the back play happening one goes at dangerous kick coming forward and taking a really good Mark that was terrific stuff by Collins just try and get it back to Collins and he does that and takes a good Mark just near the wing out of side in board to Bradley and he in turn wants to use the corridor so Davis is back in the side this week cuts across and just already on The Possession at the moment Clifton not quite sure where to go so they really traversed straight across the half back line Douglas oh oh no that's cut off by mcent here's a chance now the blues they've done it well they pressured them out of possession handball over the top is Snelling he's got a runner in support and the kick comes from confor and missed it this tacking pressure in round one was a feature Sam con this time we see him drive ding with that left boot of his played a bit of foot in the vfl with the bombers and Beno Pioneers first year at the [Music] club being told to get on with it chew back goes out of side be punched back into play front center nobody can get out of that one so it'll be a a ball up just getting up off the ground just teely tap down Collins working hard over the top goes back in for it hly Davis comes out the back bedford's kick was smothered that was a fair effort over the boundy line that will go and uh just have a look at the around the ground so far got the Eagles big win over the roosters the red legs at home defeating the reigning Premier Central District getting hold of Adelaide and game just started the russet tribute game West adelade V Port Adela that's a big Clash that one we'll be keeping across the scores throughout the day how good with it be wakery today so just slurping down some Citrus on the hill fantastic beautiful conditions up there ni you reckon used of the local product or the odd red can or two as well just to help wash that down and here's an opportunity now for Conor mcfadin he's a long way out [Music] capable Jared D in fact so from 50 D top of the square actually oh that's high from and Co going to P it too little hand ball Matthews gets around the corner doesn't get the bounce he needs though so double Blues peppering Away 128 so the put the whistle to the mouth here that is well so the movement if he doesn't raise his right arm to to show that he is high he gets a free kick but I think umpires are now looking because there's so much discussion around players playing for the higher free kick at the moment so as soon as they lift that arm up Timmy that's where the UMP aren't going to get sucked in [Music] so Che back brings it back into play finds Wilkinson just inside defensive 50 very careful with the ball I've noticed South this one unfortunately doesn't come off Henry Cary back and back takes the mark inter set just trying to poke it or in quite reach his Target will Spain they got back in well on Spain he didn't take the foot he then kicks it off that was fairly clever but on the back play and just being able to clean up was Max Clifton he's done well Max Clifton over the last few minutes we saw H get that first goal but uh just in game number two Max has been very good as as shac who delivers the ball out to a rundall and we've seen a fair bit of him as well he goes Ki Cent half forward yeah great kick as you said so here's Collins inside 50 really nice Movement by southide that was very good run as he came back inside so he props and then plays on from that Mark and then because of the his confidence to step back inside he then has options of Plenty out forward still had to get the ball there it was a beautiful kick what's a r all that bigles we've seen a lot of him six disposal so far five foot he taking three marks here's an opportunity now for South to get their first on the board 23-year-old Jacob Collins game number eight from 45 hangs it out right and it never comes back ran out that way bigles I I get hot on this people go out to the side because of they want to get the extra distance but you it's very hard to get that ball back around your body yeah if it's right on your range You' think when you know you can get the distance surely but it's just because of that new rule be to not stand the mark like they used to to be able to defend it properly players instinctively think they have to get on the arc Tom weon took a Mark he's only played the one game big boy right punched away here ground level thle want to find the battery I was going to say the boundary line by batters B well play he was juggling near 12 wasn't he Tom weon last year at Westminster and then they had a few injuries and a lot of draft a lot of Scouts were looking at him doesn't seem to have taken a step backwards though he was pretty unlucky not to get picked up in my view from what I saw him originally from stra I think well Dan F Sparks looking for a free kick there wasn't looking for it probably expected it though given that OE Megan had the arm around the shoulder there's mcfadin handle over the top was good oh getting himself out in and out of trouble as conord he did well good dick to to Matthews he wants to get things moving quickly flicks off with a handle going forward now the Blues by dayon hone was the target comes back to little Josh now he goes off the deck he doesn't get the bounce he needs so we've seen now both sides able to move the ball quickly up and down which is a good sign for this game might get some free scoring yeah there was some nice speed on the ball there from the double Blues H chatting with the Umpire after that one-on-one contest a little unlucky not to get a free kick as the his opponent put his back towards goal didn't sort of hang around after it though got to his feet as quick as he could good Duncan to bring the ball back in again a conservative kick in between two of his teammates and punched away from the kick from shro Over the boundary line I can appreciate them trying to hold it off a stir but at some stage you got to have a little bit quicker movement to get it over that next line particularly when they know this overal so well Timmy G you're right but surely with the big spaces here at Nora there's a time to pull that trigger back through that 45 kick and take on the corridor the Umpire just managed to get that up in the air enough there and there's fit bulldozing with the head trying to battle his way forward we'll get another opportunity for the Umpire to reset here just on the wing front of the coach's boxes great setup here at flenders University Stadium both coaches great opportunities to see the game from a high position ball close to the line and kept in just trying to use the body there was [Music] ilman a few hard contests like that so far tight to the boundary line this one will be thrown up pushed forward round level it's good tackle by Anderson it to only be a goal down at the moment actually pretty good result for South B because they've had half the amount of inside 50s compared to stur the defense has been under siege but still just seven points down slimming tried to get it up in the end was a good tackle by Samson it's either hold the ball hold the man and they're saying it's holding the man so well the Jimmy Dean Grand stands f with some parochial South supporters today lied with that decision switch out back inside paig again in the middle switch Snelling he set something up cblas SN down he's now just been held up for options R side no I'm going to put a big ball up see if you can mark it sum it in front of his opponent now force it over the boundary line and get a throw in so 139 plays two points we play 19 1/2 minutes of this first ter at Flinders University Stadium so we to get a really good look at this boundary throwing here from a stoppage point of view to see where they are setting up as the loose ire is going to drop one a little short but pretty much man on man then coming up defensively to try and cover that stoppage off doing a great job with the clearance F Sparks he held on to that nicely he's s himself as Summit has rolled over the top it's good take for The Big Unit it's just counting how many take he got there so there's Walter coming up to the stoppage bsby didn't use him got around quickly and this big one-on-one contest diving in for the mark F Sparks is very good at the contested Market situation sort of took that one handed with a bit of turf as well by the look of things but good Mark that'll uh do nicely for the double Blues is the only goal coming was in the first minute from Josh H just sneaking into time on now then face barks goes at around about half a goal a game on average across his 74 games and that is a really really good kick so the blues have got [Applause] two that's a pure white of numbers isn't it now with 11 to five inside forward 50s with and an inexperienced backline for the Panthers so get in them that often eventually they're going to end up clunking one it's a good match up summ in as well has got some flexibility there along with Douglas and any stoppage play that close to goal good forwards in front pushing off their opponent reading well Max's Tires replay just looking at the desperation from F Sparks and summon and the skipper making ear it with a shin to the Head be getting attention there bigles a knock as it will Snelling nasty cash there now want to see that's a South play a bass on that Timmy yeah back you go she's no Tim Zoo cut that's for sure was nasty one back in the middle Anderson working hard um stur got the first goal within 21 seconds took him 20 1/2 minutes to get the next one so South were holding it up well trying to do it again there Bedford probably get a free kick here does quickly looking to move it on break a line short was dunan just went inside Bradley and that's really good defensive work by St first forcing that kick to go out wide that means they're right on top of it another short one comes back to Bradley from once it came still in the middle of the ground though and forcing him even wider now you're right Timmy they're setting up well behind the ball double Blues AR theyand he's now trying to get around page get a kick goes into the tur coming out and tagging it out aamos do good Mark yeah he took three contested marks in round one against nor enjoys the smaller over today it's great to see him work hard and sit of that kick behind the play also got a goal 29 hit outs so in good form big aamos con 40 down the line and just trying to hassle him out was Will Spain of the contest little give from Cony to the skipper and he's got Snelling so they're just working the ball back and forth till they can finally find a Avenue in inside 50 but Su in the skipper good hands did well in front of mcfadin got a chance now to come around we've seen a bit of Bedford so far it looks good Kick's got a almost had enough on it there but it didn't so put Rogers under enormous pressure ilman goes in comes back that way Rogers taken down by ilman terrific work there by the double blue doeses not give you an inch there he there's the second effort after really worrying Rogers out of the footy wraps him up againin in front got the tap but went down to a double Blu player hry carry s super match here today too Timmy chill out Zone on the hill notice a few red BS going around oh trying to get a free kick here not play Collins on the bottom of that on the crowd saying hey yeah yeah down pass a give it back to me I'll sort it out two big Fells go up now against good T Bedford another St smothered by his own player just coming out wide Samson cleverly got it up the line right attack by kumas he's tackled and takeen down by Wilkinson and that was a fierce tackle we'll get a center Wing throw in here's the other match we were talking about it's the Russell lber tribute game and good start by Port Adelaide got the eight-point break over west east at wakery bigel was that one is it it's the one yep and uh what we said before magic conditions up there of course Russell originally from wakery wasn't hey uh loon sorry uh he worked in the Waker Bank the Savings Bank of South Australia and then played for Waker footy club that year [Applause] right got an opportunity now for South adelan just the two behind so far' had opportunities going forward that inside 50 count 126 in favor of the double Blues as you'd expect but South have had chances and need to take the most of them today for sure that patch up work been done on the boundary line to duning there we go that is the first quarter here at F University Stadium the double blows they've got a bit of breathing space 2315 lead the Pampers just a couple of [Music] behinds they you're right there track assist second quarter about to begin big Fells go out well done door that was a good hit went straight down to Snelling snelling's kick is awkward one Loy Barrow's trying to in that it some of them did well head over the football then was Davis that was good courageous work at ground level comes back to guy page looking for a target b be but missed that was well done in the end BYOB Bradley gets dumped afterwards got a attack on the ball slimming trying to come back at it that lights Defence just holding up nicely Samson on the outside of his right boot just kicks it the space and sure he's going to get their first will Snelling good hands out the back door targets getting missed though thir at 59% that first turn which was interesting as they work hard to get this but it's good tackling says get that ball to make plays we're going to have to look at the stoppage exit positions at the moment we've got a player down the out of side but the way in which they look that Center bounce was way too easy for do just to Palm that back and stroll out of the center bounce so mainly they're going to the defensive side of stoppages slimming down on the ground hasn't really moved they consider the concern on the player's face uh as soon as he went down gesturing to The Interchange bench for the medical staff so let's have a look here as he get there's one tackle here and then the second one it's the second one just coming in late that he didn't probably expect coming there's a little knee there in the back of his ribs and that's not really what you enjoy sitting over the top of the football he's a hard not Steve slim he c a knock in the first quarter too just at the 50 down on the right and side of the ground but we know he he's Mighty tough boy from the only Jets and look at him he's up already ready to go shaking them off shook me off he shook the football off yeah don't give it to me I'm in a world of hurt so going to come off I think he hasn't counted all his ribs just yet but that at least it's good to see him up and moving and jogging even if you can't break it's a free kick anyway be paid to B speak so the skiper counting off another wonderful season the double Blues got to the Grand Final again featured promin in the best and fairest as we've come to expect so often for Jimmy batterby Jimmy Timmy Jin couldn't pick him in the State team though which is rough for a few feathers that's an interesting choice wasn't it Casey voson he was runner up the bats being the best and fair is there any reason why you opted against James yeah not happy with the double blow I learned this from John Carl he was in my team you're in my team that's other selectors I tell you that is the correct answer as South work their way through the fence to Duncan has Jack Cale at a time captur for about 10 years he looked fantastic on the front by the other night he was awesome on he's in at the py gym all the time that's why he the college 83 years young and he looks a million bucks Jack and they found the boundary line which was always the defender's friend according to Jack wasn't it the boundary lines your correct defender's friend so reset here had no change to the score since quarter time at the front there was megans sort of bounced off his hand we seeing a lot of the ball come via batterby and the kick was for teely haed forward Duncan racking him up and really nice kick too from the former West ad D going to come back inside 50 contest punched away the back there was good play and front center was Will snailing guy page they combine up really well running himself in a bit of trouble there with Perez but this is a turnover now Bedford can he hit a Target inside 50 good Poise yeah nicely delivered to house so that's the sort of pressure they're going to need to C try and create a turnover not allowing those easy exits the SC as they tried to come out their back half Noah h just the one game three goals in that debut 18 years of age 196 good below knees as we saw on the Highlight Reel be kicking from about 45 M it's out there looking for their first have a look at his routine bigle see what you like comes in this one just fighting to the left I think it is so southide yet to get that goal they're three points 23 are the double blues again just going right with the ball and kicking across his body but when you talked about so of the players who have left with Bryce Gibbs Manny Brent Rose Haynes spra Mitch O'Neal it's incredible the turnover Sam Ramsey off to North Adela and Benny Hep as well they've had to fill a lot of holes I mean essentially they're all First Choice players yeah and that is a lot of senior experience that is out of this side so great chance for South younger players like Elliot Duncan there he had his 26 last game he's gone to H well read There by Guy page to ilman and gets out of it just in time before he was just launched upon by D Shay but yeah just was so much experience out it does provide these younger guys with a chance to make their Mark it's a lot to feel to a lot of games so stur really working back to crumb inside the defensive 50 at the moment which is a good effort I think if South can get some crumbers to the fall of the ball they can get a couple shots on goal Davis really did well took the Heat and then got the ball out and it goes over the boundary line but I'll tell you what only 21 oie Davids and he attacks that ball really hard that's a work rate thing for for the Crum also to as you know snailing is the best at I've seen him get front and center multiple occasions today already had 12 disposals in red hot form he knows blocks like will kumas are going to punch it hard so he gets front and center Wilkinson attacked it hard he was in front this could be trouble yeah and Anderson has tackled really well man making his debut just let that ball he push put it on the ground which is uh you do have to give it back when it's in your hands so Anderson will get a 25 look to hit a Target and on the lead and lead up that was really nicely done and hit can 40 who was pretty busy in that first turn that was a beautiful kick just a bullet coming in low and hard not giving any sort of chance to The Defenders to pick that one off it's nice back and go movement there from San coni coming up for his sixth disposal look he's dead in front a look at his kicking action looks pretty good from here is it going to travel all the way it does it's a goal his first and it's the double Blues [Applause] third first goal in sful sand for the former a bomber in the vfl Bingo Pioneer with a little rooster celebration Co on the nose he pretty happy with it and that goal as a result of a turnover so that holding the ball decision in that little 25 M penalty which brings him within range there's the dart from Anderson the truck assist replay giving his beautiful vision of the kicking style which was super effective johy Shack's little penalty wasn't a good one as he put the ball on the ground now look at this little weird celebration not sure what that one is maybe he's a farmer loves the roosters or something sort of thing my 11-year-old does to his 8-year-old sister essentially clearance from D who's had really good work out of the center of the ground D combining with batters be G 40 again taken down just looking at those possession numbers we've seen a lot of Battersby so far bigles 12 disposals has not missed a Target yet with all 12 so n h and three kicks running at 100% batting a th000 yeah doing well there's big doy wrapping those huge biceps around Collins he won't be getting out of that does not waste the footy and they really have covered off well Patrick Wilson of course went to West allay and F shot on goal here oh do mcfadin had an opportunity hit his hands and then bounced down that would have been a certain goal yeah that stoppage you're talking about with bsby and sing with wson going west is might Frederick went to clam on off wrench as well over to Victoria H's got it down but it's a h ball with hone on top of it he's wrapped up in a tackle by Clifton it's the match up today there Z be looking to punch it through for a pointer Reon they keep bringing it back into play dangerous area MC Fagen tries to get it out he did well snailing hands some good was that a free kick slipped got the free kick just cutting across I think just got him in the chops he's always done that well he almost draws that in doesn't he very well and then looks straight away at the Umpire as the contact happens so there was a bit of a slip there we're going to get a great look at it here on host bu replay yeah so now he drops there he actually drops the tackle would have been legal but because he drops to his knees he draws the free kick you'll give himself Whiplash if he throws his head back back quickly again just you reckon he givs the Puss and Boots eyes please well he's got an opportunity from that free kick to get his second and he's pulled it to the right you know what the footy gods do Jimmy they never miss a game they never miss a game I do like that they've played a few as well um so that's a behind a costly Miss 3422 to three [Music] points he's Duncan a game racking them up got it from Sho back and coming through with a hand Le towards carry good support from Matthews going back towards the line and the B I think he I think Jimmy Matthews is snuck it through he [Applause] has out crumbed again there I think it was either Carrie got the hand ball received but someone at ground level super quick to pick it up Jimmy Matthews got a beautiful finish hasn't he just had a quick look at that beers it in four straight four goals forward no score yet for the Panthers so beautiful setup there Carrie on the truck assist replay as he gave out a handall in the space and then Matthews just delivers a beautiful little bullet it was a goal kick out round one against the red leg someone had missed it had an ay ran over top of the footy four for the S they're rampaging back in the middle that one pretty costly could have been stopped I reckon P Sparks going into the rack went up high ground level being a to control that day allows out that like to come off half back and they starting to weave their way into it now good hand ball inside boryman the pressures on from Snelling doing really well now that might be hanging on coming back to Samson it is elman's in some distress here so he's either hamstring or a severe Corky he cannot move he's going to try and turn back on this one running on one leg a rled Bedford Bedford around the corner just chopping that off Walter taking the mark and should switch out of TR R's going to come from the ground so it was a pretty nasty Cory right in the middle of his Squad he spot on bigles he's definitely got a Cory there to sort out Anderson another nice little kick we saw that Bullet Pass early there's D had plenty of the footy too let's have a look at his clearances four clearances along with Battersby so they've been the most potent clearance players on the ground Davis has had a couple for South as blues go forward kick is a good one what about the stretch in the T that was terrific and good hands there by Barrow they're honoring the lead at the moment St aren't they if they're seeing any sort of movement up there they're backing themselves in it was another Dart look at the vision just to drop the eyes down put in the path steaming out Loy Barrow's got two goals in round one very deliberate set shot at goal he got some good speed on him for someone of that height Joe D delivered it beautifully tou on how good his day has been so far along with B has being Snelling essentially dominated possession that Trio he here's a chance for Barrow certainly well within range and the radar is just off to the right car's Jim hacked around the oval just ready to rip loose on their horns when Z get their first goal it's a bit overdue played four 14 1/2 minutes second turn shac confused he just comes up looking for hows contest good tackling afterwards the follow up I do like that P trying to sort out w s it out the way any ball that's coming off the contested marking situation s the first two at the moment and even this one that flips Matthews again got so much Pace comes inside has a crack at the goal he's got another one that's his [Applause] second yeah loose ball get category they're desperate aren't they still ball that spills out the back and the gather with speed was terrific so for his fifth disposal James Matthews couple of inside forward 50s 3 second the ball was spilling around for a while there but Matthews was quick on the truck assist replay as it just comes out so that ball that flips and also the crumming situation stirred first to it so they are really clean with their gather and that's setting them up at the moment he's playing a good game Matthews five disposals two goals working up and down the ground I think what excited Timmy jenev there was just a nice little toe poke that came from teely put in a direction of Matthew is clever Liam fit just having the feet patched up threee tag into the Rock now for South as double blue small Brigade doing well in clear this time no Elliot Duncan gets it we downfield so South adite with a really decent opportunity to go forward here with Rogers game number four for Cooper pops it out to Samson seen a bit of it up to 11 possessions Samson Duncan bleeding for South with 11 on with Bedford into the forward line oh that's well read just going back with some courage back up cut across with some really strong hands that really good Finals game last year really impressed me across half back they just orchestrate that aist so well skirt over the years don't they they lock down the Defenders then allow someone to come over the top and then back themselves in in the air Becca had to complete the job though it was a really good Mark OH Anderson that was a courageous kick and Well Done face barks for standing under it this gives him a chance to open up the fat side over they go nice work Edmond off the page to half forward in a one-on-one battle there Amos Doyle kept his feet that was well done Con on his left Cuts back inside just a hand got to that that was important summon quickly repels going high nearly taking a screamer there that was D had some work done on his head earlier good work Walter coming out looking for a Target not finding it who's going to get that first hone he's had one he dribbled it but well chopped off just on the last line of defense South make sure it's a behind here's the dun hanger just had everything on it and probably the height confused him in the end strapping was over his eyes like that isn't he he look good his Randall has come out from boxill in the vfl pretty good in the opening game against the crows and again had a good first quarter of Rundle was Ring up the double fig as well with 10 B be 15 leading all comers at the moment on the ground run all the G say whack me up to 11 what inside 50s now bigles so 2311 in favor of the double Blues it felt like there was a gap H oh here's a chance now and they go in and it's a great kick to proag really nice Vision there it was Davis that found him and the big fella who kicked three in round one he'll get another opportunity here good kick is free T playing as a Ruckman here cuz he was at the last Center bounce and I think he may have push forward which is a way of trying to get him into the game if they're struggling up forward as ke for's not get jimy looks at it we talked about the inside forward 50 count give him a run in the Rock and then he naturally floats [Music] there so three goals in round one against the crows and as he got South's first cross the face so again another wasted [Applause] opportunity 33 to two points this ter double Blues leading to try and switch play here he will guide Paige attracting that will kumas setting up o just W really sure sure that was the distance bz's got it he'll take off down the middle of the ground courageous kicks Matthews nearly took it this is going to be a turnover there might be Collins bringing it back in underneath it terrific heart WI a sensational perukes it was all sorts of heat on contest in the air great pressure and turnover through the center of ground if St going to try and bite it off through the coral shut him down Wilkinson really strong C ofits highest point the turnover in the end Matthews not being able to complete that Mark now that L to bring it straight back into 50 and that was a good Mark under pressure warm up the car horns Timmy yeah a and Wilkinson 70 games played 82 goals knows how to kick him approaches reckon he hooked that far M commentator curse saying yeah I'm confident and now I'm not instant that too often from him no you don't well there's ilman good to see he's back moving well gives it off to Carrie middle of the ground little flick over the top comes to Matthews via d and gets onto his left into attack and good Mark backed himself there with shro up read it well left his man second this standing this got a big task as well and you to love how he J's backing himself in the air after some one-on-one contest really impressive from schroer just 18 years of age Captain the under 18s to a flag last last year so he's got some confidence he knows what he's doing yeah well showed it there terrific stuff good Junior program South at L producing some good [Applause] kidsman might have run himself out of real estate as they say that'll be thrown in here Center wing it looks to be the strategy for South moment to play the Junior doesn't it they've had such a good under 18 program here for a long period they lose a lot to the AFL but now going to probably blood a few more a little bit due to injury as well as opportunity isn't it the Megan's hand ball intercepted hurry kick going forward three tags the target got two hands toon coming through Wilson let's see what he can do oh wow oh what a cracking goal [Applause] and the supporters are saying he can't get a good drop hunt from 30 me out directly in front but he can kick one of the goals of the year and Full Tilt wow s machine almost did well to get spoil that a feeling he's going to kick that it it just should not have gone through just like it like a volleyball where he hit it on the valve and it just sort of floated like a serve on the valve well we've got an early Contender for the channel 7 goal of the week coming off hands Wilkinson this is the crumming work we're talking about truck assist replay how does he get that ball to talk like that that was amazing Terry Alman couldn't swing it like that have a look at the Finish FX that is a sensational celebration there was a a magnet on that ball just drawing it to the southern end that was Sensational he's just hit the valve and it's just Flo like the old volleyball Ser B that was incredible right well that's what it took to get them on the board it was a cracker from wilon see that on Wednesday night on seven new shank one for directly in front he then kicks one of the goals of the week 25 points down but they needed that that was the first one it's broken the ice just having a look at that game at way ked the Russ Le but tribute game Port Adelaide deep into the second term 38 play 17 21 point lead must Doyle got a little kick out shac is busy today might be done for holding the ball here incorrect disposal going to MC fagin he just dips one into the pocket that Snelling who kept running he's worked hard today will Snelling always clean with his possessions he's had 14 of them he's going to now try and find a better Target and it's Matthews who's kicked two goals and we know that he likes them enough time to get set up defensively there snelling's ball use is really good I've watched his running patterns today too will Snelling good to see him up close after coming back from the bombers and he will work some really good angles to get on the end of the footy and defensively as well working back hard to help out his back half so James Matthews it's kick two in this turn can it be three umpire says how easy is that change Matthews gets his third yeah the midfielder doing some damage now for double Blues bradsby 15 Snelling 15 and D as well 14 disposals a lot of that clearance work as well those three have dominated they had nine between them a w selling very unselfish there truck assist replay as he squares it up to a better position that's great teamwork other than having a ping from the boundary stering has been outstanding today with 15 disposals but so too is that man Matthew doing a really good job with that HRI half forward roll three goals from Seven disposals megans and Doyle at it again ball just flicked out D sweating over the top of Davis those clearances between badby selling and dayon at the moment they've had nine clearances so far so nine of STS 16 they've been good in the center and ire just letting things going again Samson couldn't get it out so big aamos sitting over the top but Third Time Lucky see if we can get some sort of action out there Doyle trying to hold on to it and well megans won't let him go badby jumps in stacks on the mid the Umpire always he's going to look for it wasn't he Timmy just to clear that one I'm with you seen three ball UPS you want another one so South Ad Bedford kick just doesn't quite get to him oh he just pops it out on the f great chance now for the veteran guy paage Premiership star to bring it [Applause] in surviv his options to together the long one down the line front H who made the contest quick kick forward though by Samson oh was still big jump ground level now he tries to pick it up that's a bit harder for him long way down there competes against young Bradley and they'll ball it up Center Wing the sit on his opposing Rockman nothing better than when you know you've got your Ru underneath and you can take a hanger on him W half forward but again working hard there troa well pressed with him today high ball awkward one Collins it's tackled without the football that's a free kick Bon will take that delivered a couple of nice balls today just goes for a long bomb competing in the pocket nearly the back it goes south that desperate for the boundary line find it and Duncan the man that takes that over you're being first to that crime that that is the key today been so many balls go to contest with st had a look for it and then as it comes off hands who's working the hardest to get there and then be clean with it often it's been stir today so the blues have had a big turn Face barks over the top try and just ensure that South Adine don't get any chance to run it down they don't so big quarter by the double Blues four goals to one they're able to take the lead out from 13 points at quarter time to lucky you're with Amy Amy third quarter about to begin 31 Point deficit for the Panthers at their home deck trying resurrect that going in hard and working hard after Megan put the ball down able to get that out clear it see if the the difference do off the ground with Snelling couldn't get it away wrapping up in a tackle trying to get free te if you cast your mind back as well to last year we forget how dominant St were at the start of the year I mean they just had four losses in the regular season out year to make the grand finals so and they haven't really lost too many so you'd expect them to be around the Mark again this year for sure no doubt about it fit looks like he may have gone onto the ball South with Samson just switching it into the middle Doyle came through and might be a high free kick here I think s he has he's got his opposite number in big olly megans I think he tried to take the man B off the top of his head at least the scrunchy little kick out to ween how Jack kle go with what do youon I'm not sure but he did coach in the 70s there was a lot of long hair in the 70s yeah there was but Marty Leslie and the crew just letting it flow weren though they weren't holding up there with the rubber band like they're seeing nowadays it's a good Mark taken there and OE Davis fires it off quickly but the umpire's going to bring it back got one the blue boys just in a little bit of trouble now he's had a bad day so far Cy earlier didn't he you can see that left thigh strap I don't know if he's hit the same spot again but lightning poor fellow you feel for him right now he's in a bit of trouble they've already got one bloke out in Steve slimming had those ribs crunched in the first half so I don't want to lose another one mly Davis he's going to have to shoot from outside 50 on a 45° angle probably right on his measure kick oh that's a good kick that is a really good kick well notice it just T's measure he's blowing that out of the park and great stop for South in the second [Applause] half couldn't have Ned that any better flushed it so R we get a game like this without any sort of Breeze having an effect on the ball but he just absolutely nil the drop of the footy there hly Davis free kick count at the moment CH supporters always feel their undone they hard to D 10 to eight in favor of St getting low and hard on the Amy Replay here the quick kick in and OE Davis sitting under it always courageous that's the injury actually where he's copped another Corky but Davis really flushed that kick he was the player player last year for South Adelaide after Crossing from in in this league and that was a Beau kick aamos do just stole it out of the RO contest big long kick inside 50 hold up okay Duncan dispelling it but it goes straight back to Doyle Doyle comes into the pocket Anderson has to hit it hard both players hit it hard that was a really good contest by weaton though at the back everybody just misread the ball MC Fagen had a fumble trying to get it back off from 40 that was the weird looking head B that put MC Fagen under the pup and he is gone holding the ball was a PRI there but the Umpire wants to clear it out yeah signaling that he dragged it in okay and just confirming to those two injuries n is out injured for South ADL and slimming c a nasty hit to the ribs so after half time it looks as though he is out for the remainder of this match also Davis works it out Douglas and here's a chance for Duncan been really impressed by his form today as you said he had a really good game against the 26 touches kick the fre Tag 2 yeah get a little bit of real estate here from ire Cory Bowen so Seth have started the second half well high ball bit of a wobbler and safe hands there of [Applause] kumas that CR in front of the Jimmy Dean grandstand from Duncan and then the spe ball it's exceptional they need more class around the footy South they're down on numbers and certainly with experience they need him to get plenty of it he's had 14 dis spis with dun so far go paig steps back inside as the double Blues just control the football back it with it another short one to Perez looking for another short kick I reckon out wide to the boundary line no missed it by a mile that's out of bounds on the full Sergio that is not a good kick that's a turnover definitely that'll be brought back into play by Arundle looking for and finding safe hands of Bradley with the hand ball back was kicked by Duncan how again good hands strong Mark by the young man Pi three last week and is providing a target for the Panthers did he hit that with some Venom in the air Full Tilt as he launched at it Sensational catch just had a couple of disposals today but that was a highlight was going on the left trying to hook it around the body little bit of uh ambition there kick three behind so he's had three shots at it which is you know what you'd want good hands as you can see didn't deviate but left foot snap interesting may maybe the old check up enormous heat there from Becka as well trying to spoil it shows how good it was in the air Becka's rebound run has been good again today as it was in round round one where he had seven rebound 50s Walter exits the 50 and was a big fly there mark couldn't be complet Ed by fa Sparks coming back in little hands to arand manages just to get boot the ball Wilkinson he missed his Target was a little too hot for Duncan and boundary line will win out this time so is still out of side buffer right doing his coaching from the boundary line just a ground level megans and Doyle stronger Doyle just at the back flips it over went into the hands of Snelling couldn't quite take it but able to knock it forward and Samson's kick keeps things alive and the marks taken by megans good hands trying to chip it down the line did okay right quickly to his feet Oly Davis just back inside Collins Collins now this is low and hard and coming out on the lead and doing it well free t probably with the limited Supply we've seen into attack for the Panthers today this is we've only seen his twice where the big power forwards have got on the end of it nice lead up the other shot at goal that fre tag had was when he was in the Rock booming left foot kick so it might be a problem with the distance just like that build up that time bigles I thought each Target was hit by foot and this one was a really good one see if he can finish off this is what they weren't able to do in the first half was actually take these opportunities so he's able to convert here he be within 18 points kicks on the way and he is hooked that one took a long time on it and up a behind so that margin now goes to 23 points in favor of the double blows got good Targets in how and three tag they both six go between them in that round one match so plenty to work with with South with that forward line Becker just at Half Back decides to come to [Applause] Perez well I think the feet looked out but the ball May well have been [Applause] in on Deo Perez former kangaroo to 40 and Snelling so a whole he new faces combining there for the double Blues just decides to calm down looking for D it's nicely done there by the spp up and summon kills the contest it's a good way to slow it down a couple of times today St have come out with a little bit too much fluency out of their back half so 22-6 is the rebound 50s at the moment with South having to defend more but now they get a chance to reset this is where they need to be IPL because doy has been dominant with his Rock work at stopage it's a high throw in but not deep so just allowed the ball to be awkward Collins got all of it kicked it down but W kumas ever reliable takes the mark JS inside carry it's a switch over hedman's just waiting on this very short that one Snelling again working over time just holding possession carry again L of the same names bobbing up Anderson now see this kick can get over a line goes out wider Walters out there chips inside they being able to maintain possession all the way this is Snelling again always being used in the chain looking inside 50 runs around now wants to put it to a dangerous spot who can meet it goes through a lot of legs Matthews comes out of the pack and he's going to kick it what a magnificent goal his fourth double Blues on [Applause] fire oh that was a nice snap yeah cring 101 wasn't it brilliant enough time to get organized the both sides because of how long the Umpire let that play come in for they kick to the top of the Square from snailing good contest there Spain came over the top expain I should say in Matthew's crumming was just Sensational snelling's been one of STS better players puts it to the hot spot good contest have a look at the Crum quick as you like and his electricity provides Jimmy Matthews on the Amy Replay when he gets the footy he hits it with speed tough to defend even his opponent couldn't get an arm on him but then more importantly he's having a big day out with four goals four goals out of seven he's what pick 41 so 25 points of the 48 have come off the boot of Jimmy Matthews and he's able to kick them on the run and kick them from set shot so he's provided the double Blues a really good weapon up front it's South clearance this time free kick is going to go to the Panthers the Umpire going to call it back so Collins will have it on the wing got support from Duncan ooh just fires little handle over the top was going to get it to himself so that'll be last possession out of [Applause] bounds just had nowhere to go it's almost the give shouldn't have really gone to him at that point but they go in board with the kick had to be a good one L he going to pluck a free kick out if it wasn't a free made sure it was that was against megans there Walter goes in board good take there by Anderson on De Bo normally wear the number eight but the jumper got ripped apart of training apparently so he's wearing the 52 for the first time today weaton and his kick he was really looking for Bradley and inman's back on he's a for punishment he is he's got that left th he's been smacked twice in it he's hobbling around for gives 100% he's got cor on Cory at the moment we've seen him carried off twice today he's just tough as puts in p a battering ram yeah well played Mark Clifton played on quickly well done oh just read that then got right underneath D she it's kumis an awkward ball for everybody Bedford tapped it might get a free kick it's allowed to be played on good news arand wants the cut back inside on his right boot Just Nails it beautifully down hits Cooper Rogers again better build up but smart play on there from Arundle just opening up the forward 50 just seeing on the screen there going to be down another Soldier there with Elliot Duncan coming from the field he got a knee on knee in the center of the IAL so n already out for this match with his injury rand's ball use was just imp Cooper Rogers see if he can convert need this one desperately but he's really hooked that didn't get any decent shape on the ball either so it went through for another ugly behind 27 plays s s five goals in it third commanding lead Perez out of wing Doyle at the back couldn't hold on to it some of them was floating around the front of that pack megans taken down and he's in trouble the big fell so that's going to go probably the Snelling I reckon he's been taken out of Again by Fifth South are really looking to use the ball by hand in this third ter in particular 19 to7 if we look at third quarter in isolation statistically it's pretty even but you just get the sense they're wasting the opportunities here south having getable shots on goal the target good hands just called ilman in to get him down and then quickly oh going to one handed Bea was good there he comes home can he just Dro him in a magic oh wow this is the pocket we saw Wilkinson and H says we'll have a look at [Applause] mine I think hes got a bit of Vaseline in the back of his gu he was clearly wrapped up know how he escaped that tackle as he broke it that he's how does he do it with that bend running full speed brilliant two cracking goals from that pocket turning it on for the channel 7 game of the week really good spot just sitting right behind it here you see that what's [Music] going I certainly looking forward to this Amy Replay with home with a bit of magic how does he break this tackle somehow gets away just drives the legs to push out of it and then that is incredible now he gets that ball to talk brilliant goal from the little magician Sensational go to Josh H two cracking goals we've seen from that pocket D just grabbed it took it out of the middle big tumble punt into the forward line H again front center trying to keep it up wasn't able to allow Douglas to come in and get the ball off to the running Bedford now gets to the wing but uh playing in front Rory man Cori did very well there just delivers in board to Perez his rumors they snapped off IL man's leg at 3/4 time half time just put another one back on that just screwed it into the ball and socker Joint keep going sing ni disposal on on the ground with 23 bles tumble It Up A Douglas again did well South might get themselves in some trouble here but they did well to get it out Collins took it in the onew level Wilkinson may have been taken High a little clumsy by wol Spain Wilkinson quick to move it on Samson he's run himself into some trouble threw out a loose hand ball right working hard gets it back snailing do well they combined three four chains of hles and coming back into the center good work by the blues hone oh he's coming alive now the little f a check size giving some enormous confidence the kick didn't quite have enough on it for mcfadin but he go at it again The Big Unit under all sorts of pressure just trying to keep schroer honest in that situation not an easy task in just game number two for Max Clifton as he lines up on the live fire live and Josh H moments and lapsing concentration he will score on you having an impact now H Samson with a clearing kick didn't help Wilkinson with the bounce but it was okay for Becka Perez and Walter oh just getting in the way stopped te it was some nice work by Duncan and till his kicks been cut off some playing in front did well switches play a r with a fo0 see the new scoreboard there red Arc replacing the old famous scoreboard here south just electing to keep the old scoreboard behind it they didn't want him to smle it well they need somewhere for clay Samson to stand and drink his red cans when he's normally up there changing the numbers while he's watching Sun haen apparently he's working on the jumping castle today on the outer side rare mistake that is able to recover though get it back to ilman who started the whole thing you'd be guaranteed that clay had pulled both shoulders on that jumping castle through the poor bugger he'd have to have him strapped before he got on it they should actually put that jumpy castle out the front of the hot spot the goal square and just let him all the players go out he would that be pack in the stands then definitely something I would have needed to get off the ground or heum yeah now run down Anderson late good spoil front center goes again Dodges one steps inside on his left who can mark this contest home front center this is going to be a nice little snap will Spain I think he's got it absolute cracking [Applause] goal that work to get to the front of the contest has been a huge difference today for St maybe Spain's first goal it is 10 for foot as they get around in so many times they put themselves in the go-to spot as it comes off hands knew where to bring it to the front also I think he got a fist in the Anderson's work to get around the ark was brilliant Anderson showing how good he's going to be at this level H with the work to the front and that is where W Spain had set up camp that is a terrific spot on the Amy Replay as he gets his first goal goal in League footy they're crowing and front and center work and to work off hands today has been first class for skirt put themselves in some great spots Blues out by 40 points now H just letting you know to there'll be a channel change coming up at 4:00 in 5 minutes so San for footy you want to continue to watch the blues and Panthers head over to seven mate there'll be a special seven news coming in at 400 p.m. on 7 so 40 points now there's plenty of breathing space for the blues chance for another clearance D has done it looking for Doyle who station forward home who's really effervescent up forward he's kicked the barrows summon able to take it give it to Samson and he goes a little one two gives it over the top almost a hdden hope really he's open the door for the blues ilman on one leg High say ground level sum another the fire of the Blues who have really lifted in that forward 50 and making sure they're putting pressure on and tackling more inside there hes definitely lifted in that work right in this turn see that Ru Spain coming in working hard as well got the last goal ball underneath all the players D having a good ter for the double Blues quickly have a look at the score that wer it's the Bloods have hit the front deepen in the third turn by three points the battle of the heartlets yes it is last time that happened I think was like 1960 Glen and fos Williams when you're about 20 or 30 years of age be there were you playing t i just [ __ ] cheeky swans horses used to go up and down J Ro pulling CS H going at half back and work on those horses he's driving the carts on Mad Monday after one of the Seven Flags and Thomas Seymour Hill in the back over the top to schroer the under 18 Premiership Skipper from last year goes forward Wilson Under Pressure oh he's been pinged he won't be happy with that plenty to say to the Umpire ball in board Battersby he's up to possession 20 d with 21 and Snelling with 26 for the blues out to con 40 who saw kick a nice goal in the first half he's D on hands and knees trying to get his way forward and Angus Anderson it's been really good on Deb for the double Blues just doing the tackling you know up eight dispos certainly hasn't looked out of his depth Anderson over the top of this trying to get it out can't do so ripped out well done by shac coming up running up at it Arundle very good out wide to Bedford Bedford wants to keep it moving just put Shu back under the pump he gets it back to Bedford he leaves it behind on pass says incorrect play on Long ball awkward mcf did he read it better or he did terrific grab in the end we have not seen today St get out marked that I can remember inside their forward 50 it's been really good they're either bringing the ball to ground or just strong in the air like we've seen there from maag they've known where to put the ball to Advantage side and that is strong up in the air terrific contested Mark so the shot on goal shouldn't be difficult has the shot at goal he has now gets his first and the double Blues they just tick it over one more to 10 goal 666 to 2820 so marks of opposition at the moment 10 to5 just a channel change now if you'd like to continue to watch the sandel sneak over to 7 mate and just here on channel 7 got a special addition of s news coming up at 4:00 10 marks of the opposition to s five to South Adelaide so we're back seven mate thir V South contest just blowing out a little bit now in the double Blue's favor as they get another re-entry into 50 good attack MC Fagen tried to get it out the spine couldn't do so MC Fagen goes back in to wrap up in a tackle and starts I reckon that forward 50 intensity has definitely lifted this this team B Be fcks little hands out to Snelling oh bsby keen on uh having some pressure over the top of him so alire will sort that out and chance for the skipper so Snelling will have an opportunity to give the blues even more breathing space we at to 50 2 points if he can nail this it's been a wonderful performance clinical done what they need to do s after dropping that game in round one of4 night ago against Norwood plenty of the footy Snelling five clearances to go with think that kick though is a stinker smothered off hands off M probably one of his only blemishes today as he's in the running for the Cole's valued player very good driving his legs out of stoppage 10 of his 28 have been contested today yeah always a hunter of the ball see here he's going again he's brought the ground though and holding the ball the Umpire said maybe it was the attempt to pirette through that has been done Davis with the footy switches out shoe [Applause] back comes up the line over the back of all players it better Collins good today ground level Duncan trying to work out he's been tackled might be able to get out of that one 40 really wrapped him up and Center Wing there'll be a ball up so it's blown out a bit this quarter they that by 31 at half time they're Now 46 in front the double [Music] blows just trying to work out where to go Snelling draws a man then hands it off to the rman in Doyle top of the square hands for Barrow went straight through he got another chance to go with the boot no must have been close is that Summit just with his outstretched finger perhaps I think it might have come off the South Players Boot and not Barrow clear this nicely Samson using his leg speed just dropping it to a teammate Wilkinson he's just in front of half back as it kicks siren sounds to end the third term with the double Blues really up their intensity their 10767 South Ad 2820 as we approach the last quarter it's going to be the Chemist Warehouse fourth term we see if South can a couple of goals on the board early in the middle clearance absolutely imperative it's going to be the double blues that get it just bulldozed forward that tackle and doing well was schroer he's been good back there today along with shac that's some work to do Duncan the young players just finding a Target just reaching I think it did to Duncan Duncan comes back finds Well the different spell Duncan Elliot Duncan a Dun king and a Dun and here's a rle who started the game off well he's switched over from Victoria or he's playing for boxill and looks like he's doing well in this competition here here's Lon familiar name at South adelay that's Max Clifton a cousin of Marty Clifton he used to terrorize the forwards back in the 90s playing in defense for the Panthers give over from Battersby oh cleaned up there was Perez just as he got rid of it Matthews the goal kicker and Snelling just goes with a little Lefty that didn't quite make the right contact he's Clifton again and that's a nice play very good kick he's putting himself back out there isn't he Clifton tough day on the LI Bo H but still bing up and like the confidence of the coaching staff to just leave him there and see what he can learn off one of the best small forwards in the comp getting themselves reset in this last quarter flinder's University Stadium an absolute belter of a day people loving the atmosphere here Perfect The Spectators implies loose ball to d d kicks wall long well done there or some of them tried to get it his teammate once again shroo is working really hard he might get a free kick here really just have loved his Endeavor his commitment to get the first ball has been really good he's tucked deep in that back pocket he was really wanting to switch but he couldn't do so and he gets one just inside the boundary line and Ollie Davis just takes a a diving Mark had a good look at that last re out there and the clearance work for the three stars for St swinging bad is being taken they've had 17 of the 27 clearances those three players tackled by Anderson just holding things up well no rock at all there in fact little hand ball comes out to bad as B came from D oh the stretch from home still got plenty of time can he slot through number three taken right on the line schroer very well today saving that one combines with Oliver Davis [Music] again maintaining possession Samson O Davis is probably been one of South's better players today under enormous pressure along with Samson good overlapping run Liam fit to get out of it could be holding the ball for incorrect disposal tackle teely L loose in FA Sparks he's just back and back taking the [Music] mark That's one inside 50 that's got home breaking just lobs it in there at the back good high leap barrows it's MC fagin at ground level hooks around one can he get his second that's a magnificent snap what a goal conomic and turning it on [Applause] here too much time there wasn't enough defensive pressure there from South he was able to get that ball at ground level after a good contest have not seen them out Mark today in there front half that has been a real feature bring the ball to ground and then go to work from there had to give enough Hy with a snap that was the key though F Sparks pumps it into the hot spot almost the hang from B well had got his hands on it might have been on the chem Warehouse replay but that is a good snap he whilst he's just had two goals today mcfg from his five disposal his contests in the air have been really good that's been a feature of st's play today in their front half do everything he can to bring the ball to ground and not get out marked 53 points the margin right now fa Sparks into the rock and all over Megan the Umpire said up play on clearance coming for the blues bad as B sends it back nicely to Perez he's been good in his first game at this level former kangaroo out to towards con and few little party tricks to maintain possession Walter and was looking for mcfaden he popped his couple of goals up and certainly done his job up forward worked hard another player who's been really good in the clinches and uh loves contested possession that's been the key for St we know they've got some ball winners around there but that ball in dispute they love to win D and Snelling combined to do that 's just left it behind Rogers got hold of it the hand ball up but teammate was under the pump players everywhere T's another one he was at a goal assist I think in the last goal 13 of his 18 possessions in round one were contested and again today whilst he hasn't have a stack of it te just 14 disposals five of those are contested Bulls at the contest sock it off the ground the ire A Little Fall there tripping over boot there I think H trying to keep in the contest been a hard one today Rundle very well done as did he claim that he's he's got it definitely presented well for him gave it back to a Rundle but he had nowhere to go tight to that boundary line he's now going to put himself in a bit of trouble he's dodged three times he comes back on his left and how presents back up who gave it to him but Aire is saying that was out on the PO so that's going to be a turnover chance for the blues again badby racking them right up there he's con the in board and the Kick's a good one able to find Barrow who's presented well today got a couple of good grabs good Target for the blues Snelling sitting on 33 at the moment bsby on 27 so Wills com up to his 34th possession he's going to have a crack only little legs Tim Jenifer sort of size played some really good AFL footy at endon as well from 48 he just sets it up into the square and almost had enough Timmy almost just hoping would go through nearly good accurate kick though always sacrifice distance for accuracy it was probably one of the biggest signings of the sord wasn't it after being cut from Eon played the flag of course in round one versus n six possessions and nine tackles and again he's backed it up been dominant right up in the running for the Cole's Val player want a magp best and fairest I think when he was on the power list as well correct Bedford with the ball in hand go for a long ball how again underneath this really like this [Applause] kid big Prospect years of age short pit just knocking his own players over Medford comes up went straight back into it it's a good tackle though Pinn one arm he couldn't get out of that no prize of the umpai Zack Becker the man laying the tackle up at wakery there Port seesing back and forward the Bloods have come back hard it's goal for goal absolutely lead swapped about four times great game up there the Riverland megans comes down to Doyle fires out a little hand ball Snelling gets one just missed the Target and I think that's carry getting wrapped up by Wilkinson just joined us as well both teams down and player NY is out for South slimming got a nasty knee to the ribs for C hasn't taken any further part in this game and elman's probably running on one leg as well he's had four corkies fit fires it off quickly to Collins top of the square big fly not completed there by D who've seen him in the air of it today sou deep in their 50 they'd like to get a score here Here Comes fit again bustling his way through Rogers to back up spat it out that's a nice piece of work there I reckon Jake Arnell might have a Rundle he's finished it terrific kick yeah that has been a he has been a Shining Light in South Adela today one of the recruits coming over from the Box Hill Hawks this year 23 disposals so far this afternoon his first goal the afternoon looking very comfortable s for level A Moment Of Glory here for South Adelaide on the Chemist Warehouse replay as they keep the ball alive and he's been a big inclusion Jacka rle for South all this year coming across from the Box Hill Hawks gets his first goal in the Chemist Warehouse replay was a good snap wasn't it and certainly looking comfortable at s level coach buffer right saw him playing at the Hawks last year and thought this is a bit about this guy he's had two good games so far since he's made the move clearing kick going from teely clearance for the blues good hands going from Spain he's a chance for dayon who's had a really good day just pops a little cherry on top just to cancel out that Arundle goal Sensational today D Spain's work there with the goal assist was good also dra's going to now throw his hand up for the calls valued player we crw is in junk time he's had 27 touches 10 grand ball gets he been terrific to watch around stoppage seven clearances just when you thought that the Cole's Valu player was done and dusted D says holds my hold my beer slides in there he's been brilliant today with 27 disposals 10 grand ball gets in a goal delivers that one with a beautiful strike and around stoppage his clearance work refining Target and getting first possession has been first class he makes special comments guy his job a little harder doesn't it blacks like him just keeps getting the foot he keeps using it well thir 54 point leaders oh that's a great tackle from behind that's the forward pressure I was talking about that's Young spining as a rookie Timmy we've touched on Snelling D and Battersby have all been good Tom Lewis the PowerHouse is still to come back in this side big fan of TOMS love his work gu Paige kicks this one deep jumping at the ball MC Fagen I think he interfered with front on contact will get a free kick he's worked hard today he's got two goals worked hard for those and he'll be able to get this hopefully this one and make it nice second half for him guy page for that effective kick spotting up as well oh passing off in the Square that's a bit slack and a goal an easy goal for the double Blues to locky barrows too easy very clever work there from barrows just to hide behind the goal post stra the padding around himself and no one saw him very very sneaky how do you miss that he's a big unit he was there for an eternity too how tall is MC F had to give it to him 1095 CM that he hi go P's been one of STS blies I hear no longer on the kimus warehouse replay we see the free kick against with Douglas not having eyes on the footy and then Barrow's just hit behind a goal post for about 10 minutes chatting with the goal umpire how do you leave a man that size in the goal Square South just unraveling a touch here 10 goal difference right now for the blues K Sparks doing the rut work I think Amos st's had a good day too he six clearances as a Ruckman just grabbed a few and he just belled them out spr Good Megan gets the tap down only as far as Snelling carry Walter missed his Target he's looking for the skipper comes into Bradley and able to give it off to Samson we know he's got some toe Rundle and his Kick's a really good kick terrific Vision by the former poxel Hawk and he's able to just pop it there to Jacob Collins yeah that's very good bull use isn't an 80% via foot Arundle today of his 20 kicks promly using it V foot good spot up Collins needs to finish the work so Collins he has kicked the goal before this is game number three for him and that looks pretty good and is it made [Applause] Noe that was close it was a good kick by the little fell nice to have a quick decision on that though it is played on double Blues Walter just popping it over the top running off the back Zack Becker comes back inside Barrow is there the last goal kicks it in the way open forward line H good contest from behind Max clipon who's been with him all day been a good battle those two so have throw in right forward pocket they get set up just that around the ground so P Lake 10-point lead 18 minute Mark last quarter there's still plenty in that game so dland megans heading towards time on here it's been a big day for the double Blues megans with a little backhanded Panther almost there couldn't quite make contact ball flicked out oh free kick no going to be okay Bedford looked like he should have got it and that kick is through for a behind little Joshy home there's Marty matna of course taking the blues to couple of flags and back at the club now very good coach strategically clever and a back L this one and of bound Sho back that's unfortunate he's had a pretty good day he's worked hard down there the young man only 20 years of age he's 14th game of League football play on the call Long ball towards goal this should be punched through or might have traveled did it no it's no score South out Lake sum right on the last line did well to Bedford too easy in the one-on-one there Walter another Markoff opposition they've been brilliant in that category today been important ones as well stly that one 10 to7 when intercepting those kicks fires it back in and it's just going to roll out of bounds so South will get an exit out of the defensive 50 here that heartbreaking loss in the Grand Final of course finishing second 14 wins and just four losses in the miner round and two wins and two losses in the finals we think back to 2022 as well they finished fifth after they lost that elimination final to the Bay so consistently good under Marty mat St and uh top five that question again this year can they take the next step Snelling was ruthless on Sho back there he was inventive to not give away a free kick right tackle Perez is going to take this from fit very quick with the kick and it's good the hands are strong for MC pagent Barrow's just sneaking off too looks like he may have h a shoulder or an elbow so not good for the blue Steve slimming already out of the game and Liam n was sort of done before he started with an injury as well so MC fagin has kicked two for the day from his five kicks and make it three from six [Applause] the players that they've lost Patty Wilson was banged up going to West Marty Frederick off to Claremont wrench they've covered for as well in this for line because they've got so many Avenues you got to think that s we have enough to have a tilt snailing a huge inclusion and after dropping round one out of the parade stur and marching onto a big victory they have back on the winners list for the first time this year I should say the chemist way house replay just showing the MC fagon kicking style eight individual goal kickers today they've been spreading the workload really well terrific goal 66 point leaders are the double blues and normally had at University Stadium of course they've lost a lot of big names South ad and M Broadbent being one of those it's a shout out to the family his Uncle Andy used to be just over here giving all of his support to Matthew and Ross did it with absolute class but sadly he passed away earlier this year and big shout out to him he was a terrific lady good contest at Center half forward Matthews may have been taken High had an electric second term where he kicked three goals and he then added another one the third term and let's just have a look at this just slightly over the top of the head and umpire said that's good enough for me was going to ground at the time we've seen it a couple times Josh hes the experienced campaigner at going to ground when feeling that pressure regardless he could have a fistful here Jimmy looking for a high five dead in front 40 he normally got a very good kicking action and there's no doubt about it there is five goals to James Matthews congratulations hold up the [Applause] pill there Smiles all around as the Carnage continue 72 Point margin smallest for St supporters that is good continent here made their way down from the leafy suburbs of [Music] Amos Doyle has been terrific today on the chemist W replay the big Ruckman and just a high shot here as Matthews fall to the ground not a lot in it if you're being super critical but he has five goals in the footy budget today Jimmy Matthews the former Crow having a big day out throw him up there with Snelling bad as be D we've had some big days today as good punch from behind came from Kess perz Anderson the two debutant combined to go forward H couldn't take it Clifton did well there and he's going to get a free kick goes down field and little kick is good so Liam Fitz able to get it from Arundle fit from 55 top of the square and could be taken Coming Down On It Go was Wilkinson and snaps it through through [Applause] second mentioned it many times this afternoon about that CR been out work today see they get one over the back though as Wilkinson slips in and under we Davis was involved there for South has been probably the their best player 24 disposals in a goal 13 tackles for Davis Liam fit pumps the ball inside forward 50 though don't really read it too well the Chemist Warehouse replay Wilkinson gets it off hands for his second AR R has been a vital inclusion for this list down here at South out so that's a big positive today in what's been a very dark day on the scoreboard got back to a 66 Point margin blew out the 72 in the middle clear it again BBY hon very good on debut Mark big high kick nearly this just came in late fighing hard for it towards the boundary line ground level Douglas in there on top of him Doyle like this game now 25 play contest at Wakee three points in at West aake come back they pick the last three to be three points in it still going s clears this one up the middle of the ground it's a good take on the lead was D sh he just Mis kick that one though Arundle had a good game and she gets it back fit over the top good running Randall normally good Vision but this will be chopped off and good Mark in defense they read it well Perez this time the man able to do it for the double Blues defense just asking for the teammates to hold up from him to get some control back into this D and carry just see they'll just chip it around work their way up oh good smother just as Snelling was trying to get away with that that's terrific smother from [Music] Duncan Rogers going back was fit oh that is a good take from kumas Under Pressure brilliant grab from kumas in the air was his third time representing the state just a Resolute Defender and so many times today we talked about the marks off opposition 13 to St just the seven for South Adelaide not hurt himself I reckon will cumas in that marking contest good Ginger he's a brunette isn't he Wilkinson he's out a crack at goal here or going to scor all the way he's got his third what a sensational [Applause] kick doesn't need much room him does he how does he get that from there so they can just get more of that ball in there I mean inside forward 50s for the match 5524 it's a comprehensive shellacking he got three of the five beautiful launch Wilkinson giving it everything right on the line now Kim's Warehouse replay showing how free tag just gets it through and he's had three of the five goals this afternoon Wilkinson gut rippers in that too so he's at least done his job he's worked hard hasn't had a lot of mates though it's been a tough grind for South adelite inexperienced outfit Doyle up against megans D little give there from Snelling to d goes forward with a kick couldn't take it and the free kick is going to go to the Panthers so weaton chance to play on though through the hands of a Rundle Paige missed his Target in carry and he's crunched it looks like Bedford I reckon that's CAU that the head had some good moments today Bedford showed that he's capable at this level game number five it's over the head of a r quick to get back onto it goes off the deck out of bounds so double boys will bring this one back in in the depths of this final quarter 10 goal break at the moment Paige steers it back to Perez who's got kumas who seems to be moving a little better than he was before STS it over to Becka and they've moved the ball well gone right around around the ark that is a really good kick and he's off con 40 gets moving Target couldn't take the mark fagin with a big tackle some really nice movement tin absolutely 40 I thought handled that really well Mark the ball Douglas come steaming down on him and took the mark and just wheed around and played on they work it out kick around the corner awkward ball tap down to gets his head ripped off and Wilkinson knows he got him ey but ire saying R let's give 25 for the little bit of carry on afterwards and the Russell Eber tribute game in W has been done and won West adlet I think kicked the last three goals to win the game by Four Points see that's a great performance up there another 25 so Wilkinson giving the the Umpire bit of grief I reckon and this is going to make it almost a certain goal to con 40 who's kicked one already in the second turn and he'll be lined up for his second so here comes this will make it back to a 66 Point margin and he's Banner so the double Blues has continue their way on to a very healthy Victory 69 plays 59 and we've played 31 minutes of this last term the double Blues well they know they've got some form back in the tank just's have a look at this replay it's tapped down to conord now he's taken High there's no question of that he then got absolutely pile drived into the ground the Umpire weren't happy with that so gave 25 and when they were on the way down there they gave some more advice which gave more Meers two goals to 40 so six goals to three in this final turn so the blues led by 13 points a quarter time 31 at the half as Samson takes out of the center comes down fre tag couldn't take the mark hurry little kick how is the bounce for Bradley not a good one and it was 47 points at 3/4 time and right now 65 so it's been a really consistent effort by Marty maters boys P kicks out and finds carrye double Blues they'll be pretty Keen to run the clock down and they've got the four Defenders on the last line probably prepared to share that around the go back to each other just to eat this clock up big long last quarter lots of goals scored there it is siren sounds to end a double Blues Victory there back in the winner circle 169 105 defeating the Panthers 51040 a 65 Point Victory and a welld deserved one they pulled on six goals to three in the last term to make it a comprehensive victory [Music] every Hearts true for the As we sing this s to you what do we sing
