AFL Canberra Round 4: Reserves v Eastlake

[Primmy]

Don't you just love in amongst all the Merediths, Barlows, Reid, Playfair and Gilchrist style names, we now have a toppie with the wonderful name of Etiosa Okunbor!! I shall keep a weather eye on this lad for the "report". I wonder where he has come from.

Sorry If I missed this somewhere else but where is Byron Sumner??

Yes, indeed, still no show......mystery deepens.

He was dressed in regulation Swans gameday attire with the players who didn't play in the seconds last week, walking out with them to the qtr time huddle.

I have no clue as to the reason he is not playing, but his appearance last weekend would suggest he hasn't gone back home to SA for good.

AnnieH mentioned something about a car accident and a back injury, strangely not in the Ressies thread but in the Eagles gameday thread.

Primmy: It looks like a name of Nigerian origin, and I'm sure he has been a top up before last year perhaps.

It looks like a name of Nigerian origin.......

You may be right. I think I got an email from his father last week, something about an inheritance.

I've sent him my bank a/c details, I'll let you know how I go......

Quick qn - where do the top-ups come from?

The SFL provides a pool of players who are chosen from for Sydney games + Swans Scholarship Holders (must be 16 y.o. I think - Butchart is too young)

Top ups

?49. Jack Caspersonn - Sydney Uni
?50. Marcus Linsen - Wests ... former Bankstown Sports "Bombers" Junior, and team mate of Blake Guthrie#47
?51. Kieran Emery - North Shore ... former West Coast Eagles Scholarship holder
?52. Etiosa Okunbor - East Coast Eagles

Sorry about the double posting . . .

It's been a few years since I've been up (from Melbourne) in time to watch the Ressies play at the SCG . . . . What is the best way, transport wise to get to the game? I have access to a car and will be travelling from The Shire. Do I need to park at UNSW and wait for a bus or are they not running this early??

Thanks guys/gals.

It's deja vu ... all over again

NOT running this early......I normally go to Carpark 2 at the SCG which is the one open early for us Ressie fans (3.30), but there is a Fair thingy happening at the entertainment quarter today, so all entry to all car parks up until 5pm is up Driver Avenue from Moore Park Rd, Paddington end, which is at the opposite end of where you think you should go. Hope you have a GPS!

OR park your car at UNSW and get a public transport bus to the ground, forget about the shuttle run though.

Great stuff, thanks Primmy.

Thx Ugg.

Getting ready to leave shortly, should be there for bouncedown today (I hate being even 5 minutes late).

My sister is in town (she lives in Horsham) and is coming today with my nephew. I hope to talk him into helping me do some stats. If so, I'll post possessions, tackles, marks etc each quarter.

[Claret]

All I have to say is that Gary Rohan is going to be a player. This kid is a level or three above the rest.
