Reserves - yet another close game

[giant]

I note Saddo played ressies but he was in the huddle after the game on Sat nite. Is that unusual? Not sure when the ressies played.

Yeh, I noticed that. I guess they need emergencies, just in case!!

He was probably the emergency that flew down just in case someone had to pull out. The reserves played yesterday.

Ressies played Sunday in Canberra
Saddo was probably in Sydney on Sat night as emergency...just in case somebody stepped on a cricket ball 40 mins before the game...I hear that kind of thing happens

Yes, quite...I wonder if there was someone who he was partic looking to be the emergency of. Seems there a couple of guys that are perhaps struggling with injuries atm.

He was at the airport catching a plane on Sunday morning!

Anyone wondering why the Reserves are suddenly outclassing the opposition every week, while the ACTAFL's standard has no doubt remained constant from 2004 and earlier years when they were merely also-rans? Here's the reason:

Team:

McVeigh, Willoughby, Spriggs, Fixter, James, Saddington, Schauble, Powell, Moore, Campbell, Sundqvist, Schmidt, Grundy, Malceski, Bevan, Davis, Clarke, Potter, Hayes, Quade.

How many players are not on the Swans list in that team? One? And a solid majority of them have played firsts as well. In previous years, the ressies have had to drag in up to 10 local players. A long rookie list + a short injury list = complete dominance. Doesn't solve our long-term problems of where to play the 2nds though, I know.

PS Interesting that if that list is complete, ACTAFL plays with only 2 reserves.

Stewy M might struggle to get a game in that squad! Must be a tad daunting to play against.
