Match Report

Over at Elizabeth, the Bulldogs were ready to pounce on a vulnerable South Adelaide. 

The Panthers weren't going to dodge a fifth straight loss this day, the Dogs getting off to a fine start with a 23 point lead at quarter time. Danny Schell would prove to be a big problem for the Panthers, while Central's back men helped his cause by keeping Ben Warren quiet. In the second term, the home side added 5.3 to 3.2 to extend their lead to 30 points. The last two quarters were plentiful with goals for the Doggies, they booted 7.2 to South's 2.1. It ended up being nothing more than a training run for the northerners, their fans reveling in the reigning premiers' final quarter effort. Another 6.3 to the Panthers two behinds had South coach Robert Pyman seething with anger, he kept his men behind closed doors for 40 minutes after the final siren. 

Schell rocketed to the top of the goalkickers ladder with his nine goals in the Dogs' 104 point destruction of South.
