Just watched the reserves, It is a pre season round robin kind of thing.

Game one the swans kicked 10 goals to one point in 2Q's and in the second game 20 goals in 2Q's.

McVeigh, Doyle, Moore, Spriggs, Fosi, all played. No Dempster. Schmidt was hurt maybe ankle.

I thought Thornton and Brabazon looked OK.

How did Simon Phillips go?

Players available for match practice
4:37:28 PM Fri 24 March, 2006

The AFL wishes to advise the following players will be available to play this weekend (scheduled for a bye) for their Sydney Reserves due to interrupted or limited pre-season preparations.


Sydney - Ryan Brabazon, Stephen Doyle, Nic Fosdike, Heath Grundy, Matthew Laidlaw, Jarrad McVeigh, Jarred Moore, Tim Schmidt, David Spriggs, Kristin Thorton.

That's a strange list of players. Last time I looked the rules said only 22 players could take the field in an AFL game, so most of these are reserves players anyway so they need special dispensation to play in the reserves!!!!

Fair Dinkum one shakes his head at the geniuses working at the AFL.

You need a dispensation to play in a practice match and then play round one. All these players are in contention for the Bombers, then. And anyone else playing (or who played I should say) is not.
