Reserves?

[ROK Lobster]

According to the little fixture card thing, are not playing the curtain raiser tomorrow, but played this afternoon. Can anyone confirm this?

Seems it is, I looked on the website.

Didn't head out for a look at the top of the table clash, Lobster?

Does anyone know what time the gates open tomorrow at Manuka and whether there will be an early game?

Travelling down from Wollongong with general admission tickets and plan to get there early (like the past few years).

I have recently change e-mail address and have not been receiving the Swans pre-match e-mails and I can't find the information on either Sydney's, the Kangaroos, the AFL or Ticketmaster websites.

Cheers

I had just assumed it was on tomorrow. Should have gone out, might have been a few of the senior players amongst those having a kick at 1/2 time

I've noticed on the Canberra Times site that the Wagga Tigers are almost certain to leave the AFL Canberra comp. With Weston Creek struggling to maintain a competitive side, I wonder what this means for our reserves?

It means we should be playing in the VFL. But that's just my opinion.

Costs are prohibitive plus who would we link up with? I don't think Port Melbourne are an option, they had a pretty acrimonious split with the Kangaroos over team selection.

We should go it alone like the Tassie team does.

Actually the Tassie team doesnt go it alone...several Kangaroos players play for them.... e.g today Jonothan Hay played for them

Port Melbourne is one of the only stand alone teams

Another close game.

And usual suspects among the best players - Schmidt, Willoughby, Spriggs, Moore.

Intense competition for any vacant spot should it emerge through injury.

[ItsAllGoodes]

No sign of Sean Dempster in the goalkickers or best players. I wonder if he played and whether he is inline to play tomorrow??? Or just being rested as an emergency?

Perhaps C Bolt is subject to a fitness test?

Don't worry about my previous questions (if anyone was ) as I found the answer:

- curtain raiser matches between the Kangaroos Academy and Swans Academy from 8.30am.
