Morgan Johnston’s move down south worked beautifully in the Panthers’ favour when she also decided to don the blue-and-white in 2024.

A proven performer in the Hostplus SANFLW League, the 29-year-old averaged 13 disposals, four marks and three tackles while placing third in Norwood’s best-and-fairest count last year.

Expect the hard-running Johnston to be a critical cog in Rick Watts’ midfield rotation.

It feels like history is repeating for South Adelaide as another Charlton threatens to make her mark.

This time it might be Emma, not older sister Teah, who has Panther fans thrilled with her eye-catching speed, power and insatiable competitive edge.

Aged just 15, Emma Charlton is itching to make her Hostplus SANFLW League debut but she will need to rest her legs after being hampered by shin splints during late January.
