AFL Sydney name final rep sides
AFL Sydney have named their final Senior and Development squads to play in the Representative Carnival at Blacktown International Sports Park on Saturday.
The Senior squad will aim to reverse the 80 point loss suffered last year at the hands of the Victorian Amateurs.
Senior coach, Craig McGough said a better quality competition had yielded a quality side in 2012.
“I believe we have an improved squad this year with an influx of players from strong competitions,” he said.
McGough said a structured approach to the match was their best chance to beat their seasoned opposition.
“We understand that we are playing a very good outfit that have beaten us in the past,” he said.
“With this said, we will be going into the game with a certain style and structure that we want to play.
“If it all comes together, hopefully we can get the right result.”
Five matches will be played at Blacktown on Saturday, with the Development side to kick off action at 10.30am against the Farrer FL.
