The Panthers name their twelfth debutant of 2021 to face the Roosters.

After a return to football and form, the Panthers take on the Roosters at Flinders University Stadium in what is a huge match in the context of the season. 

Currently, both teams sit level on points however the Roosters superior percentage has them sitting in third place. 

The winner of this game will be in the box seat to claim third spot and a double chance come September. 

The Panthers will welcome into the extended squad skipper Matt Rose, Tyson Brown and Matt Roberts while Reece Milsom will miss this week due to injury. 

This opens the door for another Panther Talent Pathway Product in Arlo Draper (Willunga FC) who will be the twelfth Panther to make their debut this year. 

Draper has had a good run of form in the Under-18s this year averaging 24 disposals and just over a goal a game from eight starts.

The Reserves are also coming of a strong performance last week. 

Sitting just two games outside the final four, the Panthers must win against the Roosters and have some favourable results to stay in the hunt for finals. 

The Blockbuster SANFL game of the week kicks off at the later time of 2:35pm on Saturday afternoon following the Reserves at 11:55am.
