Match Report

We head to the Unley Oval, where the first of two "mirror image" matches on Saturday arvo took place on ABC television between the second placed Double Blues and the eighth placed Panthers. 

A focused Blues mob would start proceedings for the day with a 6.4 to 4.1 first quarter, the home side up by 15 points at the first change. In the second quarter the Blues ripped off the shackles and kicked 8.2 to South's two solitary goals to extend the lead to 47 points by half-time. After the long break, the punishment continued for the visitors, another eight goals from 13 scoring shots to South's 1.3 pushed the margin out to a massive 97 points by the final change. The Blues just relaxed it from here, but still only allowed 1.3 to South while bagging 3.4 for themselves. South would have been thankful that the Blues weren't anymore accurate in goal, but going down by 110 points would be more than damaging to the Panther psyche. 

Brant Chambers would continue his relentless charge toward the Ken Farmer Medal, bagging nine goals and best afield votes. South named Jarrad Wright as their best.
