Stiffer Test for Reserves

[ihamilto]

Well this weekend the Swans reserves travel to Robertson oval Wagga to play the tigers and there wont be any player swapping. Wagga Tigers is a club with a proud history and they will at least be competitive, their under 18s won the AFL Canberra comp last year and they have recruited ex Freemantle docker Bret Doswell along with a highly rated captain coach from Victoria.

They are yet to win a match but they came within a whisker of defeating Queanbeyan and from reports were competitive for a lot of the match against the undefeated Belconnan last week. I will be keen to see how their young NSW ACT Rams CHB performs up against possibly Grundy or Vogels.

Hopefully yes the only problem being that I am battling sciatica in my lower back at the moment and the weather forecast is for a cold miserable afternoon, however at this stage I intend to rug up and hobble down to Robertson Oval.

As for not mentioning the young key defenders name he has only played 1 game in the seniors and I wanted to have a close look at him first, the draft is a fair way off.

The Tigers captain coach is Matt Walder not actually sure which league he came from but the tigers were thrilled to get him.
