Another relocated wet-weather game to Lakeside Oval saw the Reserves defeat the Suns with surprising ease. Jarred Moore starred in the damp conditions with his grunt work out of the middle while Trent Dennis-Lane destroyed Suns defenders Josh Toy and Harley Bennell with a 7 goal haul.

Out: Trent Dennis-Lane (foot), Daniel Currie (???), Gary Rohan (hamstring), Matthew Spangher (senior promotion)
There are major changes with 6 ins, 5 being dropped from the senior team, with 4 outs mainly due to injury which should result in a big shuffle-around.
Dennis-Lane, Spangher and to a lesser extent Currie have been the major source of goals in the past month and now the responsibilty will have to fall on the likes of White, Bevan, Johnston and/or Everitt. White is set to reprise his forward-backup ruck to Seaby role due to Currie's absence.
Parker will add some bite to the midfield setup and has a prospective clash against hardnut Daniel Harris. In defence, there is no obvious matchup for a forward of the size of Dixon who gave Lewis Johnston trouble in the previous game between these two sides. Everitt has been named at CHB but he will have similar weight issues playing on Dixon.

The RAMS finished their championships during the week so we'll hopefully get some of the regulars back soon in Potter, Guthrie and Lynch. Not sure what's happened to Mitch Thompson and Kane Murphy who have played so well.

Talking points
- Everitt - Hasn't played much football lately due to sub duties, will he line up in defence or attack?
- Seaby - How will be the big Seabs rebound from getting dropped? The GC have some young and athletic ruckmen who could test Seaby in his work around the ground?
- Johnston - Will this be the game that Lewis gets re-instated as a full time forward. I realise that Spangher has a bit more body size than him, but I think it might have rankled Lewis just a little to have a defender get the call up as a forward over him.

Summary
Will the effects of having such an easy two weeks be deletorious to the Reserves' chances of winning this match? Regardless of the result, the coaches will be looking forward to the tougher competition that this match promises and hopefully it won't be as much of a cakewalk as the Round 7 game.
