Recycling Metal Industries - QAFL Reserves Preview

Sherwood Reserves  will be looking to open their 2020 account when they take on bottom placed Maroochydore on Saturday.

Both sides are winless, with the home side having struggled in the stronger QAFL competition. Sherwood have been competitive but one bad quarter (or one bad half last week) have resulted in 5 losses this season to date.

However, importantly the Pies can still make the finals if they win their last three matches and that is a distinct possibility as they play against three other lower table teams in the final three rounds. 

The Pies have made 4 changes to last week's team, with Zac Collison, Macauley Lonergan, Hamish Campbell and Chris Davis coming in to boost the team. Collison and Campbell strengthen the backline, Lonergan provides pace in the middle of the ground and up forward and Davis can play a role forward or back with his tenacity, fitness and pace.

Out are Peter Kilroy, Sam Mehari, Alex Davila and Lachlan Pearson. 

Collison was a somewhat unlucky omission after his senior debut where he performed his role beautifully, but with a settled backline, it was a case of last in first out. However, his inclusion strengthens the Reserves significantly while the senior experienced Lonergan also provides some spark.

Important day for the Ressies in 2020, lets get to the ground early to cheer them home.
