    Aaron Bruce 7th time among the best this year-- enough for another time around? Opinions from regular (or even irregular) 2nds watchers on whether he's got something, welcome.

    The nicely-designed AFL Canberra footy record was fortunately wrong in describing Colombo as out indefinitely, and fantastic to see him back in the best players. Even though he's not huge, we'll be needing all the defenders with a bit of height that we can get, in coming years.

    No-one seems to doubt that we've got something special in Currie, and this game just seems to confirm it.

    Fosdike playing, but not making best players, would really minimise the chances he gets a call-up for the Dogs seeing that if Bird and MOL come up, we'll already be trying to squeeze 24 into 22. He must surely have some trade value, and the 'if you're over about 24 yoa and can't crack a regular game, you're gone' rule has yet to be broken in Roos' reign as far as I recall. So has Fossie played his last game for the Swans' firsts?

    Unsurprisingly, the top-ups were heavily loaded with guys with a bit of top-up experience, rather than the unending procession of first-timers who often played in the minor round. No doubt made a big difference in the final analysis.

    Game report from the Canberra Times.

    http://www.canberratimes.com.au/news...l/1265807.aspx

    "Eastlake had at least four chances inside 50 in the last three minutes, but the Swans rebounded and Sydney defender Peter Faulks repelled the last attack with a brilliant game-saving pack mark deep inside Eastlake's forward 50"

    Great to have Columbo back from injury and playing well up back. More and more he is shaping up as the player who will eventually be Leo's long term replacement.

    Fossie 32 touches. He has probably left his run too late, but if anything happens to one of our running midfielders he appears to now be fit and ready to step up.

    Shades of "Leo Barry, you star!!!!"

    You're right ORB, another solid off season in the gym and Columbo may be just about ready to dip his toe in the seniors next year.

    I also have high hopes for him, but I sense believers like you and I will be in for a torrid time defending him early on. LRT held Jonathon Brown goalless in Rd22 and still copped it off the usual bagger brigade.

    Official report.


    Official AFL Website of the Sydney Swans > News Article > Reserves defeat Eastlake


    Also, I believe the Mulrooney Medal (B&F for the Canberra comp) is tonight. Mathews is one of the favourites.
