BETTA Team Selection: Round 7 @ Glenelg
The Panthers are set to unleash two new faces against the Tigers on Saturday afternoon.
Coming off the bye, the Panthers have once again been hit with the injury bug with Magarey Medallist Bryce Gibbs going down with a shoulder complaint.
Ben Heaslip will also miss after suffering another concussion, his second of the year.
This does however open the door for another two debutantes.
Panther Junior Daniel Sladojevic is yet another graduate of the South Adelaide Centre of Excellence having come through the Panthers pathway.
Sladojevic played in the 2018 and 2019 Under-18 Grand Finals before coming into the senior program in 2020.
The second debutant in Jake Cresswell will gain his opportunity at League level after coming to the Panthers in the off season.
Originally from Tasmania, Cresswell played his junior football for Clarence Junior Football Club before making the move to the Nab League in 2021 with the Murray Bushrangers.
The classy Reece Milsom also comes back into the squad for Saturday's crucial clash against the Tigers.
For the Panthers, they come into the game after a hard fought win over the Redlegs at the Parade for the first time since 2017.
Saturday's game will be the 235th meeting between the two teams, and 104th at the Bay.
From the last three games at Glenelg, both teams have split the ledger one game each and a draw.
Both teams will be also playing for the Carey-Darley Cup which honours the great rivalry and the legacies of club and South Australian icons Peter Carey and Peter Darley.
Both men were premiership players, team captains, best and fairest winners and ruckman for their respective clubs, whose careers also briefly intersected in the early 1970s.
To go with the honour of the Carey-Darley Cup, the played judged best on ground will be awarded the John Schneebichler Medal, which was established in 2020.
John Schneebichler played for the Panthers for 13 seasons from 1975-1987 where he played 234 games, kicked 351 goals and also captained the club from 1985-1987, before he made the move to Glenelg in 1988.
In 2019, John was inducted into the South Adelaide Hall of Fame thanks to his outstanding contribution to the football club.
