    VFL Practice Match: Sydney Swans Reserves v Sydney University

    Saturday March 28th 2015 11am
    Tramway Oval aka Driver Avenue Oval aka Lakeside Oval aka the oval outside the SCG

    This match is primarily for the reserves players who have received little game time, if any, in the NAB Challenge series to prepare them for the NEAFL season ahead but we might also see some senior players who may need game time to prove their readiness for Round 1. e.g. McVeigh, McGlynn, Buddy etc. We may also get answers to the status of players like Jones, Aliir and Hewett.

    Sydney Uni have built upon a solid season last year by recruiting former Collingwood/WB defender Tom Young, former West Coast/Port defender Lewis Stevenson and two of Aspley's premiership heroes in Jed Turner and Austin Lucy and are very much expected to be a contender for a NEAFL finals spot this year. They beat Eastlake 18.12 (120) 6.2 (38) yesterday. So it should be a quality hitout and hopefully the rain stays away this week.

    Thanks for the heads up. Do you know if they usually release a team list?

      Doubt it. The AFL site says that Reid and Naismith have been given permission to play. I wonder if this applies only to players who have played the majority of the NAB Challenge and those who haven't don't need permission?

        Are you able to go on to the Lakeside Oval during the intervals and have a kick? My four old loves a kick during the intervals at suburban grounds. Will they set up a barbecue at the ground for patrons?

        I think this is an unlikely request, but it would be good if the club and the election commission could set up a voting booth at the ground.

            Halftime swans 4.4 28 Uni 6.8 44

            McLaren has kicked three and I couldn't catch who scrambled the other. Uni look really well drilled and will be a strong side in the NEAFL this year

              Pretty sure #48 is Paul Kelly's son Jackson Kelly. The resemblance is uncanny

                Yep. Pretty sure that was Kelly. Looks a bit bigger than six months ago but still very slight.

                      McLaren was recruited as a key backman but we seem to have been playing him in the forward line in today's match and our practice matches. Anyone have any idea why? Maybe the coaches are confident that 2-3 put of Melican, Newman, XR and Aliir will make it?

                            Nope. Reid and Naismith were reported on Thursday to have received the AFL's permission to play but they didn't.

                            Nankervis
                            Rose



                            Heeney was there in a blue training guernsey pre game but left before the game started. Many of the seniors came to watch in their civvies except for Goodes who had a training Guernsey on. Tippett was wearing those compression stockings beneath his shorts. All the coaches were also watching Horse Blakey Playfair Dew Maxfield and Nicky D was the runner. Think Crouch is still the ressies head coach he has the whiteboard

                            Uni had Matt O'Dwyer (in blonde hair!) and a few ex topups like Doug Hadden and Tom Head

                              Uni had Lou Bob Tom lurking in their camp too (off-field).
