Pearson Automotive - Reserves Match Preview

Sherwood Reserves will be looking to bounce back and get a win on the board after two tough losses in the opening two rounds. The Pies were in both early season matches for  three quarters of the games but faded late in both to give up the 4 points.

Coach Cory Hopkins will be asking his players for a four quarter effort but as is the way of Reserves football, he has had to make 6 changes to the team, 5  of which were forced. 

In comes the Smith brothers, Rohan and Daniel after early season injuries, Aaron Maricic back from Seniors, exciting youngster Connor Bulley comes up from the Colts and Lachie Pearson and Aiden d'Roza are promoted from the Woodsmen.

Out go Noah Resuggan and Jack Briskey to the Seniors, Zac Collison and Harry Marshall are injured, Whitlam Bishop is unavailable and Josh Lane returns to the Colts after stepping up last week as a late inclusion after playing a full game in the Colts in an impressive showing.

The Reserves are a young team with a smattering of experience and like their Senior counterparts will want a good start to put scoreboard pressure on their Morningside opponents. The Magpies will need to be at their best if they are to get the four points and with wet weather forecast it will be the team which is hard at the contest and uses footy smarts that will prevail.
