Norwood enhanced its Hostplus SANFL League premiership favourtism with a clinical 76-point win against South Adelaide at Magain Stadium. 

Stringing together their ninth win in succession, the red hot Redlegs were barely troubled by the Panthers as they led at every change on the back of booting the opening four goals of the game.

Dominating possession throughout the afternoon, Jade Sheedy’s charges ran hard for each other as they racked up a staggering 98 more handballs for the contest.

And there was no better example of this than Norwood engineering an impressive seven handballs in succession off half-back before key forward Tristan Binder dribbled through a goal to finish the coast-to-coast play.

Binder was one of four multiple goal scorers and as many as 13 Redlegs who put through at least one major for the afternoon as they also posted significant advantages in marks (123-80) and inside 50s (58-39).

Magarey Medal contender Nik Rokahr led the way again for the visitors, this time collecting 35 disposals, four clearances and a goal while hard-running trio Cooper Murley (26 disposals), Matthew Ling (25 disposals, one goal) and Mitch Nicholas (25 disposals) all found their share of the Sherrin.

Star signing Aaron Francis was again superb in the back half for the Legs with 30 disposals and 10 marks while Finn Heard continues to eat up the workload in the ruck while Harry Boyd continues to recover, finishing with 28 disposals, eight marks, four clearances and 23 hit outs.

Norwood had just one player with less than 10 disposals for the match, key forward Jackson Callow, who booted three goals while Jayden Gale kicked four majors.

South vice captain Ollie Davis led the way for his side with 22 disposals, eight clearances and five marks while Arlo Draper had 21 touches.

Ben Shillabeer and Jack Delean each kicked two goals for the Panthers, the latter producing a genuine highlight when he took a spectacular mark on the wing, played on, had four bounces and goaled nicely on the run from long range.
