R1 Reserves 20.8 (128) defeated Belconnen 9.12 (66)
The Reserves were impressive in thrashing the defending premiers in Round 1. That victory halted a shocking record of 8 losses in 9 games against the Magpies. Sam Reid kicked 5, while Campbell Heath, Nick Smith and Matthew O'Dwyer were amongst the best Swans players that day.
R6 Belconnen 8.6 (54) defeated by Reserves 18.9 (117)
The Reserves led from start to finish, and their performance was hailed by coach Frosty McPherson as their best performance in 2 years. Trent Dennis-Lane finished with 7 majors at the end of the game, while Sam Reid was named BOG after a impressive stint in defence. He was ably supported by Matthew O'Dwyer and Dylan McNeil.

Last Round
Reserves 30.14 (194) defeated Queanbeyan 8.14 (62)
In an impressive display harking back to the halcyon days of 05/06, the Reserves were too good for a disappointing Tigers outfit. Dennis-Lane collected his second 7-goal haul for the season, ably supported by Henry Playfair's 5 and top-up player Eugene Kruger's 4. Not surprisingly, Dennis-Lane was the Swans best player on the day, ahead of Pat Veszpremi and Brett Meredith.
Belconnen 6.9 (45) defeated by Tuggeranong 10.9 (69)
In one the biggest upsets this season, the bottom placed Hawks stormed Manuka Oval and emerged victorious after an impressive defensive performance against the reigning premiers.

Belconnen
Belconnen are sorely missing star forward Andrew Ainger, out with a broken leg. They have struggled to kick goals in his absence. In 4 of the past 5 games since his injury, Belconnen have posted 8 goals or lower but have managed to hang on to win 3 of those games.

Talking points
- Jetta - Can the goalkicking yips finally be cured ?
- White - Pressure is on, can he kick enough goals to get back into the side?
- Veszpremi - Named as 2nd BOG last week and yet made way in the 25 man squad. Puzzling.
- Johnston - A subdued performance last week, but with Playfair back in the senior lineup, he will probably regain the status as a key forward target.
- Meredith - Surprisingly leapfrogged Veszpremi into an emergency spot, but has quietly built up a month of solid form, being named in the best in 3 of the past 4 matches.
