    It seems that both AJ and Dawson won't be seen in the ressies for some time. Both placed on the injury list TBC never never.

    I too fear that AJ is not going to make it. It sounds like he has had a wound healing setback from his most recent surgery. From a medical point of view he seams to have issues with wound healing and recurrent infection which is a shame but it�s just Conjecture on my part. As I said I feel that if he doesn�t play seniors this year then it�s unlikely that he will he kept on again. I hope he makes it

    Can't help but to agree with you. It doesn't look very promising for AJ but like you I would dearly hope that he makes it as just deserts for the determination and hard work he put in. The guy really needs a decent break from the footy gods.

    Yea. Reading between the lines it sounds like a surgical wound site infection

    I read it to mean it was a issue with training load, and they were having to back that off slightly.

    "While ramping up his training he had some groin soreness pre-Christmas, had that operated on, he had a minor setback at the site where the surgery was," Swans football manager Tom Harley said. "Not so much a re-strain but we've had to take the foot off the gas for a couple of weeks. Alex will continue after about a two-week spell."

    There's a bit more on the Swans website which adds �We can�t put a hard and fast date on it but we are confident we will see Alex soon.�

    I'm very excited that Melican might make it for the Crows game (from the same Age article):

    The Swans have left the door ajar for backman Lewis Melican to face the Crows after missing a week due to a minor hamstring strain.

    Melican, who earned votes from the coaches in his most recent match, would be a welcomed inclusion against a Crows forward line containing Taylor Walker, Josh Jenkins and Mitch McGovern.

    "Playing the Crows on Friday night is a tight turnaround but we'll give him every chance, he's recovering well," Harley said.

    The handful remaining reserves and a heap of toppies will play Gold Coast at Lismore on Saturday at 4.35pm. Could be ugly, very ugly. We await Ugg's preview.

    I was going by what's printed in the pocket guide sent with memberships but you obviously have a update.

    Look forward to your team list!

    So a Google search reveals that the game was announced with some fanfare at Lismore last year but something must have happened as the NEAFL site and both teams� websites have the game at Fankhauser (Marty?) Reserve at Southport.

    I am in Lismore. This was to be played on a ground that was being upgraded but unfortunately delays meant it would not be ready in time.
