CFMG Capital - Reserves Match Preview
Andrew Thomson
The Sherwood Reserves will be bolstered with several key inclusions for their season defining clash with Broadbeach at McCarthy Homes Oval at Chelmer on Saturday
This round 4 match is the half way mark of the COVID-19 shortened QAFL season and a loss will just about rule out a finals appearance for the Pies.
In comes skipper Ben Jaenke-Cain to the centre after 2 weeks out with work comittments, CHB Zac Collison from concussion, young defender Whitlam Bishop and new player in Riley Dreghorn to CHF. Dreghorn is a Mackay product and is a 190 cm key forward who gives the Pies a tall forward target.
The outs includempressive youngster Connor Bulley due to injury and strong young defender Hamish Campbell is unavailable.
The inclusions make the Pies look stronger and with Jaenke-Cain’s leadership, Collison reading of the play across half back and Dreghorn at CHF the Pies will have a boost in their confidence.
Aaron Maricic has shown he has a touch of class, Zane Lovell has been energetic and Trystan Juffs-King has also been a workhorse in ruck and they will be keen to put their stamp on the match.
The Magpies have not been far off the pace in their 3 losses in 2020 but have been slow to start in all matches.A good start is imperative if Sherwood are to notch their first 4 points of the season.
