Despite being three rotations down heading into the last term with Captain Jace Bode ruled out for the match with an ankle injury, Ed Smart (Hamstring) and Mitch Grigg (Back Spasms) the Redlegs managed to hold on to win their fourth game this season by under 10 points.
After Grigg kicked a rather fortunate goal with the final kick of the first term, South kicked into gear in the second term with Dual Magarey Medallist Joel Cross setting a high standard booting three goals to help give the Panthers a 15 point lead at the main break.
Midway through the third term, the Redlegs got into a rhythm with Dom Barry and Lewis Johnston having an influence pushing the side into attack. The Redlegs bagged four of the final five goals for the third term and when they added the first two of the final quarter, their lead had exploded to 27 points.
