Round 17 - South Melbourne vs Oakleigh Cannons

Last time they met

Round 4, 2008, at Jack Edwards Reserve

Oakleigh Cannons 1 South Melbourne 0

South showed plenty of spirit, but could not pull back an early goal conceded from a failed clearance. Late chances for South were impeccably denied by Cagalj in the Cannons goal.

Preview
A big day for South as they wine and dine everyone and try to make seem certain something which as yet is only in principle. Anyway on the field these two teams never let anyone down, and this week should be no exception. Expect free flowing attacking football, with a bit of bite to it. Oakleigh isnt the team of old... a little less skill perhaps (though still plenty in the bank) but a hell of a lot more fight in them. MacNicol and Kelly play against their old team just a couple of weeks after former in particular was made to earn his passage back to Lakeside. Lagana, who has been brilliant for Oaks this season will miss the game through suspension, while Steve O'Dor will be fired up in his 50th game for Hellas. I'd like to say South'll take the points but I reckon we';re not quite there yet. If we can get 4 points out of the next two games, it's long step towards challenging for the finals.
