Welcome back to Footy SA with John Casey and Andrew Capel from The Advertiser! Episode 4 is packed with action as we recap a thrilling Round 3 of the Hostplus SANFL League and celebrate the opening round of the 2026 SANFLW season.
Andrew reveals what he's writing about this week, including the remarkable comeback story of Cade Herbert at Woodville-West Torrens after a serious neck injury, and what it means for the flying Eagles. We break down five fiery Round 3 matches: a seven-goal third quarter from Norwood to finally get off the mark against South Adelaide, the Glenelg vs West Adelaide thriller settled in the dying seconds, Central District's fourth-quarter collapse against Adelaide, North Adelaide's dominant second-half demolition of Port Adelaide, and the huge boilover as the Eagles ended Sturt's unbeaten start.
We discuss Liam McBean's hall-of-fame level performance at Glenelg, Riley O'Brien's dominant display with 42 hit outs for Adelaide, young guns Talon Rosenzweig and Josh Faye impressing for Central, and Will Snelling's return from concussion for Sturt.
We also touch on the Zac Butters controversy and what it says about the AFL's handling of media cycles, celebrate South Australian boys in the AFL Academy game against Richmond's VFL side, and John issues a grovelling apology to Liam McBean and Lockie Hoy.
Then it's on to the Anzac Round 4 preview: Norwood vs Port Adelaide at The Parade, the Western Derby between Eagles and West Adelaide, North Adelaide vs the Crows on Saturday, the blockbuster Grand Final rematch with Sturt hosting Glenelg, and South Adelaide vs Central District at Noarlunga on Sunday.
Stay until the end for the SANFLW Round 1 recap and the Sporting Memories Tour at North Road Cemetery during History Month in May.
