Reserves 25th May

[Triple B]

Just on Fosdike.

On Fox Sports news there is a quick 15 sec grab of a MOL interview taken at training at the SCG this morning.

In the background, Kenny Williams grabs a water bottle and hands it to Fossie who runs in and appears to have no real strapping on his knee and appears to be training with the full squad.

Given he wasn't named in the injury update, perhaps the Gods are smiling and he is not seriously hurt, if at all.

Here's hoping **fingers X'd**

Nothing serious re Fearless

But anyone into omens would perhaps suggest that Fosdike returns in round 14, on July 5, against Collingwood.

In 2005, just like this season, he spent the first half of that year beset with knee problems. He didn't make his senior debut that year until the first week of July, in round 14. Less than three months later - with Fosdike rated by many as best on the ground - the Swans would win the grand final.

Funny how the memory can fade.

My memory is pretty bloody good, in fact when it comes to the Swans my missus reckons it's freaky, but for the life of me I can't remember that.

Mind you, it's almost 1am and I've polished off a couple of G & T's pre-dinner, the regulation bottle of red and am on my 3rd 'large' Cointreau and Ice so it's not surprising the memory may be hazy.

It was the one point loss to Richmond where we came agonisingly short after a big last quarter, and he was probably our BOG on the day.

Fosdike has long been an MCG specialist.

Just about all his best games, 2005 GF included, have been there.

He is a hard runner and finds space, so I guess the MCG suits that style, lots of space to find.
