BETTA Teams Selection: Round 16 v Central District
The Panthers name four additions to the squad that will face the Dogs.
With a much needed extended break, the Panthers will make a few changes to the squad ahead of the longest road trip in football to the Ponderosa.
Luke Bogle returns to the squad after a string of good performances in the Reserves along with long time defender Tyson Brown.
Joining them are tall timbers in Damon Freitag and Bailey Griffiths.
The Panthers and Bulldogs will also be facing off for the annual Mayors Cup.
Established in 2004, the cup recognises both clubs communities, the City of Onkaparinga and City of Playford, which share similar geographics, demographics and challenges, both within the local community and football landscape.
Since a drought breaking win in 2016, the Panthers have taken four of the last five Mayor Cups.
