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.
