Also, it was announced in April that Henson Park in Marrickville will get a $5M upgrade so that might be another option for us.
That was only if the ALP won the election

Injury updates
Naismith to resume full training this week. A few weeks away all going well.
Cameron still 1-2 weeks away with his quad
McVeigh another week
Cunningham will be available if he gets through training
Sinclair 3-4 weeks, minimum by the sounds of it
Ling still in witness protection then
Read on another forum that someone bumped into him in a cafe and he said a couple of weeks.
Who had the ankle blow out?Last weeks stats are daunting for a lot of the team.
So many at 13 and under!
Plus with the injuries in the 1s, you would assume that more top ups will be required.
Bell concussion and an ankle blow out for another in the 2s too.
Barkley with 1 touch in a full game? How can that be right??

When you consider the NDS boys, the U18 top ups and then throw in the likes of Hirst, McLean and Knoll that is a very young and inexperienced team again. I guess that goes with the territory of being in the Reserves but it will be important for Jack to show some really excellent leadership qualities here.NT Thunder (10th) v Sydney Swans (3rd) at TIO Stadium, 6.30pm

And add to that the better mids being called to 1s, are being replaced by future mid projects who struggle to run both ways, and the 18s and 17s are playing wherever there is a need rather then their best position.When you consider the NDS boys, the U18 top ups and then throw in the likes of Hirst, McLean and Knoll that is again a very young and inexperienced team. I guess that goes with the territory of being in the Reserves but it will be important for Jack to really show excellent leadership qualities here.
I agree, presumably Fox and possibly one more will go to Melbourne as emergency weakening the side further. As a result kids like Wicks are pushed to play midfield (which he can do based on his 40 disposal outing against Giants) however it does mean he can't practice the small forward skills needed for a seniors call up. Neafl midfield has been a bit of graveyard in recent years with players stuck in the NEAFL midfield and then not being able to play a specific role (eg small forward) in the seniors. I'm thinking robinson, foote, brandon jack etcAnd add to that the better mids being called to 1s, are being replaced by future mid projects who struggle to run both ways, and the 18s and 17s are playing wherever there is a need rather then their best position.
Good to see Rayner moving into the back line to starch it up.
NT should provide some confidence for the team. If not, it could be a straw that breaks the camel's back.
Maybe the team should have at least one training session a week together with all levels.Yeah... did not get up from his seat on the bench after re-emerging from the rooms last week and struggled to accept the well-wishes of teammates.
I’m curious to see how we go this week... particularly the back 6 who showed very little composure last time out.
From a team perspective, prefer Amartey posing a threat up forward with Menzel... the likes of MacKellar and Barkley have held their own all season until last week, when I think it was the listed guys who struggled to stay composed behind a weakened midfield.
Not a lot of positivity in the dugout last week... coaches need to address that as I feel it is declining week on week. Toppies struggling for validation in their own minds... new recruits wrestling with roles and structure... and the burden of leadership falling on too few, leaves us looking quite vulnerable with only games against the three competition front runners after this week.
Really hoping for a big bounce back in confidence more than anything... show us what ya got coaches!
