After bouncing back against the Eagles last week, the Panthers now shift their focus to Sturt as they strive to maintain their momentum and solidify their position in the top 2.

The Panthers have one confirmed change with Litonya Cockatoo-Motlap set to miss with a leg complaint. 

This will open the door for Sarah Wrightwho will return after recovering from a rib issue along with Jorja Hooper who has also recovered from a hand complaint. 

Pinktail Caitlin Couch will also return to the side and Carly Milsom (Blackwood) is a chance to make her SANFLW debut.

In a significant coaching milestone, Senior Coach Rick Watts is set to mark his 61st SANFLW game, cementing his position as the longest-serving coach in the competition's history. Should the Panthers secure the victory, Watts will also clinch the title for the most wins by a SANFLW head coach. Currently boasting a record of 42-18, Watts is tied with 2018 Premiership Coach Krissie Steen (42-17-1) for the total number of wins.

All the action kicks off at 12:00 pm on Saturday afternoon at the neutral site of Hisense Stadium. 

For those unable to attend in person, SANFL Now ensures no moment is missed, with matches streamed live or available on demand across all grades.
