WATCH LAST WEEK'S MAJOR AND MINOR SEMI-FINALS
WATCH THE JUNIOR DISTRICT LEAGUE FINALS ACTION
A Jack Turnbull-led Sturt Sabres will be searching for answers in the Reserves Men preliminary final as they aim to bounce back to form against Central District Lions.
The Lions will go into the contest with plenty of confidence after they beat their rivals by seven points the last time the two sides faced off mid-season.
The high-flying Forestville Eagles await the winner in next week's grand final.
Finally the West Adelaide Bearcats, who were stunned by the Eagles in last week's semi-finals, will need to regroup quickly against a hungry Sturt Sabres side.
The Bearcats reserves women features a stacked line-up of talented playmakers, but they were left floored by an attack led by U18 SA Metro captain Olivia Tredrea and her sister Jemma.
The Sabres feature their own impressive line-up led by gun shooter Chelsea Portus, and will be confident they can spring a second shock in as many weeks to book a grand final spot.
South Adelaide Panthers Under-21 men will look to regroup after giving up a nine-point first-quarter lead in last week's qualifying final against Central District Lions.
The Panthers, who have plenty of talent across the floor, will take on a Norwood Flames side flying high after notching triple figures in the elimination final.
The Flames will be led by the exciting Ezeikiel Emnace who caught fire with 30 points last week.
The same two sides will battle in the earlier clash on Court 4 with the Norwood Flames taking on the Panthers in the Under-23 women's preliminary final.
The Panthers will have all the momentum after holding on for a 14-point win in last week's elimination final, while the Flames fell three shots away from the grand final.
The two sides haven't met in more than a month, but the Flames got the better of their rivals on that occasion thanks largely to a Lucy Wootton masterclass.

SUBSCRIBE NOW! ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ KEMBLA GRANGE TIPS BEST BET Race 5 No.2: WILD THOUGHTS Progressive galloper on his home track that can back up his excellent last start 1500m win here. NEXT BEST Race 8 No.6: BARBAROSSA Godolphin colt resuming for new trainer Ciaron Maher, he can make a strong first impression from a favourable draw. VALUE BET Race 6 No.14: SUPER ECLIPSE A lightly-raced mare stepping up to 2000m for the first time. She should be ready to peak third-up at the right trip. QUADDIE Race 5: 1, 2 Race 6: 1, 3, 5, 12, 14 Race 7: 1, 2 Race 8: 6, 11 JOCKEY TO FOLLOW JAY FORD only has two rides on Savvy Hallie and Wild Thoughts but tipping he walks away with a perfect record. TRAINER TO FOLLOW BJORN BAKER is coming off a career best season and can continue in the same vein with horses like Shirvington and O'invincible. TAMWORTH TIPS BEST BET Race 4 No.8: PINDORAMA Got back in a leader dominated race last time but got home well enough. The step up to a mile here with Aaron Bullock on should suit. NEXT BEST Race 2 No.9: SEE YOU THEN Knocking at the door with three seconds in as many start to begin her career. She finds another winnable race. VALUE BET Race 5 No.7: ANOTHER PEACH A strong on-speed winner last start at Grafton with runner-up Sawmill franking that form at Moruya on Tuesday. She will give them something to catch. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ KEMBLA GRANGE INSIDE MAIL RACE 1: SUPER MAIDEN HANDICAP (1400m) SIRIUS LEGEND (1) is another lightly-raced galloper raced by The Everest-winning owner Bon Ho. The son of Dundeel has made the stable switch to Anthony and Sam Freedman and did more than enough at his first start for them, working home strongly for second at Randwick Kensington. He can go one better here. ANDRON's (2) debut has been a long-time coming for connections with seven trials under his belt over multiple preps. He was doing his best work late in both hitouts this time and has to be a huge market watch. CELLARMASTER (8) and FEAZABEEL (3) can improve second-up. BET: SIRIUS LEGEND to win, saver Andron at odds. RACE 2: MIDWAY MAIDEN PLATE (1000m) It's hard to see SAVVY HAILLIE (11) starting anything other than a firm odds-on favourite. While this daughter of Hellbent is yet to win, she boasts incredible two-year-old form. She was only beaten by subsequent Group 1 Champagne Stakes winner Nepotism in Group 3 company before running second to gun filly Tempted in the Group 2 Percy Sykes Stakes to finish her juvenile season. I AM A WINNER (1) has been gelded and could be ready to unlock his undoubtable potential. CUBAN CIGAR (5) has trialled up well ahead of her debut and is among the place hopes. BET: Trifecta 11 (standout) from 1-5-6-8. RACE 3: F&M BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP (1200m) O'INVINCIBLE (1) is a blue blood mare by Snitzel out of Group 1 winner Viddora that is still lightly-raced. She was a sharp improver last time and only got gunned down late by a stakes-quality horse in waiting in the form of Amreekiyah at Canterbury. She can go one better here. Trainer Bjorn Baker took the country route he often uses to get her stablemate SHIRLEY'S TRIBUTE (8) on the board at Bathurst. It was a nice win and she should take plenty of benefit from it. MAMUSHKA (2), out of Group 1 winner Steps In Time, returns after showing plenty of promise in her first prep. BET: O'INVINCIBLE to win. RACE 4: BENCHMARK 68 HANDICAP (1400m) OCEANFRONT (2) will be one of the first runners for Nacim Dilmi as he begins his training journey in charge of Domeland. He did enough first-up in heavy conditions at Tamworth to suggest he can run well again on what will be a rain affected surface. THE EXTREME CAT (1) has the best form in this race after flashing home for third at this track on July 17. The heavy conditions are the concern with Nathan Doyle also nominating him for Saturday. YOUR NOT THE BOSS (7) is a better horse than what he showed last Friday at this same track and trip. BET: OCEANFRONT each-way. RACE 5: CLASS 1 HANDICAP (1500m) WILD THOUGHTS (2) has made a promising start to his career with a win and two placings in three starts. His maiden victory came last time with an impressive two length success over 1500m at this venue. The horse that beat him before that, Cold Brew, has since won his next two so the form stacks up. He just needs to handle the ground to win again. AFLOAT (3) is another that broke his maiden well last start, eased down late to score a 1300m event at Hawkesbury. The step up to 1500m looks ideal. The same goes for FORBIDDEN RIFF (7), who got too far back in a 1300m event at Kembla last time. BET: WILD THOUGHTS to win. RACE 6: MAIDEN PLATE (2000m) SUPER ECLIPSE (14) finds herself in an even race filled with chances but she's among the best of them. She was a beaten favourite over a mile at Wyong last time but just looked to find them too slick for her when the speed went on. Stepping up to 2000m third-up should be in her sweet spot. ENTITLEMENT (12) has been knocking at the door with five placings in eight starts. She's rockhard fit, has a good draw and has a favourable on-speed racing pattern. Stablemate ALWAYS SHINING (1) could be a sharp improver stepping up in trip. BET: Boxed trifecta 1, 3, 5, 12, 14. RACE 7: CG&E BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP (1200m) SHIRVINGTON (1), like his namesake, can sprint well fresh with the topweight of 61.5kg. The Bjorn Baker-trained four-year-old was a winner first-up last prep before baking it up with success at this track and trip. FRONTEX (2) is back from a 153-day break. He showed plenty during his first prep with a win and two placings in three starts, breaking his maiden stylishly at Newcastle on March 7. ALIGNED (8) was given every chance to break his maiden last time and delivered at Gosford. He can run well again. BET: Quinella 1, 2. RACE 8: MAIDEN PLATE (1200m) BARBAROSSA (6) was scratched from Canterbury on Wednesday and finds himself at the provincials for new trainer Ciaron Maher. The last time we saw the Godolphin colt, he ran a creditable fourth in the Group 3 Bailleau on a heavy track. He looks ready to run well first-up. ARTISTIC VENTURE (11) is a promising filly that wasn't far away in a pair of Golden Slipper lead-ups, finishing fifth in the Group 2 Sweet Embrace Stakes and Group 3 Magic Night Stakes. She's got some class for sure. KENDALIA (2) is a knockout hope at odds in his return. BET: BARBAROSSA to win, quinella 6, 11.

NRL 2025: Wayne Bennett tells Lewis Dodd he's free to leave the Rabbitohs, NRL 360, Braith Anasta, player transfers
Don't miss out on the headlines from NRL. Followed categories will be added to My News. Braith Anasta has described the Rabbitohs' signing of Lewis Dodd as 'one of the great recruitment blunders in NRL history' as reports emerged that coach Wayne Bennett had told the youngster he was free to leave the club. Bennett apparently had a meeting with the Englishman on Tuesday and told him he was free to look elsewhere in the NRL or overseas. Dodd has played just six NRL games in 2025, and just 68 minutes in the No. 7 jersey, despite signing a $2 million, three-year deal and a huge injury crisis at the club. FOX LEAGUE, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every game of every round in the 2025 NRL Telstra Premiership, LIVE with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited-time offer > Anasta, the host of NRL 360, gave a frank assessment of the Rabbitohs' decision to sign Dodd, who won a Super League title and a World Club Challenge title with St Helens. 'It's one of the great recruitment blunders in NRL history,' Anasta said on Wednesday night. 'I just can't get my head around how (CEO) Blake Solly, (football manager) Mark Ellison are the ones flying to England to sign a premier half for your club without the permission of a coach. Lewis Dodd's signing has been a disaster. NRL Photos 'I can't get my head around it.' Co-host Gorden Tallis believes the club would have run the signing of Dodd past coach Wayne Bennett. 'You would think (Bennett) would have been asked (about Dodd),' Tallis said. Anasta said Solly and Ellison needed to take responsibility for the decision to sign Dodd. 'The fact of the matter is 'Ello' and Blake have got their hands all over it, it's just whether Wayne knew or not,' Anasta added. 'Wayne might have had one fingerprint on it,' Tallis said. Anasta said he was always surprised by the Rabbitohs' decision to sign Dodd, given there were others playing in the Super League who seemed more suitable to join an NRL club.

'I think there's just some accountability that needs to be taken there.' Tallis said he was 'shocked' the Rabbitohs are in last spot on the ladder, with Bennett rejoining the club this season. 'Probably shocked with the injuries, and I know Wayne, and normally Wayne Bennett coached sides compete really hard, they win against the odds, don't give up,' Tallis said. 'The way that they've sort of fallen apart, I think I am shocked, and if you went to every Souths fan, they wouldn't believe that they'd be in this position, no way.'

AFL 2025: Carlton make Michael Voss call after marathon Blues board meeting
Don't miss out on the headlines from AFL. Followed categories will be added to My News. The future of Carlton coach Michael Voss remains uncertain, with a call on his 2026 status not made at a marathon five-hour board meeting. Voss remains in the job for now with only one top Blues figure commenting on Wednesday night. FOX FOOTY, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every match of every round in the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE in 4K, with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Join now and get your first month for just $1. Vice-president Patty Kinnersly, asked by Seven whether it was an important day for Voss' future, said: 'Every day is important for a football coach.' The coach left club HQ around 5:30pm AEST with the meeting completed around 7:30pm. Michael Voss leaves Ikon Park while the board meet. Picture: Glenn McFarlane It held extra stakes for Voss in the aftermath of Melbourne's sacking of Simon Goodwin. Part of the Demons' reasoning for axing their premiership coach on Tuesday was to get to market and ensure they can complete the hiring process before the off-season. And footy insiders believe the Blues could yet be pushed into making an early call on Voss, who's now viewed as the most under-pressure coach in the AFL. Seven's Mitch Cleary declared from Ikon Park on Wednesday evening Voss' future is 'well and truly on a knife's edge, despite holding a contract for next year'. Carlton board members remain tight-lipped on Voss future Video Player is loading. Play Video This is a modal window. Beginning of dialog window. Escape will cancel and close the window.

Goodwin presented to Melbourne's board at a meeting last week, which then decided to fire him a week later. And while it's been expected the Blues will wait to make a call until new chief executive Graham Wright takes over on August 15, the Demons' position in the market could force the club's hand. The club also has major decisions to make regarding football boss Brad Lloyd, whose future is uncertain, and their assistant coaching panel.
