Reserves v Eastlake

[ugg]

Curtain raiser starting at 3.50pm

Eastlake are coming off a 86 point thrashing of Ainslie while the Swans are still smarting from a 45 point defeat at the hands of Belconnen.

The Swans will be up against former teammates in Aaron Bruce (named BOG last week) and Aaron Rogers along with ex-Adelaide Crow Chad Gibson lining up in the Demons ruck.

Amon Buchanan and Ed Barlow will be looking to regain their touch while fringe players including Mike Pyke, Matt O'Dwyer and Ryan Brabazon will be aiming to further their cause.

Laidlaw - maybe. He was down as "test".

Plus, presumably, Gordon and maybe another scholarship player or two. Are the Rams away on Rams duty at the moment, does anyone know?

That's a pretty skinny list of available listed players. Hope they've got some good top-ups this week!

Thanks Ugg. Looking forward to good efforts from the young guns. Another impressive effort by Ryan Brabazon today will surely put some pressure on any of the older brigade who have any poor showings today. He can't be too far off for a call up. All the best to Brett Meredith for his debut today.

[Jewels]

Does anyone know what's happening with Dan O'keefe? I was hoping he'd be in the reserves today, he's not listed as injured anywhere that I can find.

[ugg]

I think that's just a quick list that liz came up with. I'll let you know soon whether DOK is playing

It's very windy and fairly overcast here

I see Pyke Orreal Brabazon Buchanan MOD DOK Barlow Thornton Johnston Currie gilchrist

I also see players in 4 and 35 which are Hannebery and Heath's numbers respectvely. I know Heath is out njured but is it school holidays in Vic?
