Panthers' dream start ends

South Adelaide’s dream start under new coach John Cahill has crashed at the hands of SANFL heavyweight Sturt by 85 points at Noarlunga Oval on Saturday.
The match was all one-way traffic as the Double Blues pushed aside their opponents in another emphatic display. The Panthers were well out of their weight division against a vastly superior outfit.
The writing was on the wall early when Sturt had four unanswered goals in the first 11 minutes. Jade Sheedy gathered possessions at will (35 in total), while Craig Evans continued his outstanding form with 26 disposals and 13 marks. Key forward Brant Chambers kicked six goals.
South Adelaide’s movement was slow and indecisive, which was made to look even worse by the Double Blues’ leg speed and hardness around the ball.
Sturt is now the only undefeated side and deservedly so after winning its four games by a combined 249 points. The Double blues accounted for South Adelaide 17.13 (115) to 4.6 (30).
