NEAFL Round 8
UWS Giants v Sydney Swans Reserves
Sunday 12th May 2013 9.30am
Blacktown International Sportspark
The Giants and the Swans will face off in the 2nd match of their 4 game series at the doubly unusual time and venue of 9.30am at Blacktown. The Swans pipped the Giants in Round 2 thanks mainly to their accurate conversion and the Giants' inability to capitalise on their chances.
After a slow start to the season, the return of players from injury at both senior and reserves has boosted UWS' stocks. They will also be fresh coming off the bye last weekend. The Swans on the other hand, are down on numbers and will be smarting from losing their unbeaten record, when they were overrun by a hungry Lions Reserves outfit in a disappointing last quarter.

2013
R2 UWS Giants 14.18 (102) defeated by Reserves 17.5 (107) @ ANZ Stadium
Goals: Morton 3, Membrey 3, Everitt 3, Weir, Jack, Head, Lloyd, White, Cunningham, Brown, Lamb
Best: Everitt, Bird, White, Morton, Lloyd, Cunningham
2012
R1 UWS Giants 4.9 (33) defeated by Reserves 23.13 (151) @ ANZ Stadium
The Swans began their NEAFL season with a bang kicking 8 goals in the first quarter and keeping the hapless and undermanned Giants scoreless. The rout continued throughout the game, with Mark Seaby, Jarred Moore and Dylan McNeil dominating the clearances, and Trent Dennis-Lane and Jesse White finishing off their teammates' good work with 10 goals between them.
Goals: Dennis-Lane 6, White 4, Seaby 2, Lamb 2, Pyke 2, Moore 2, Cass 2, Biggs, McNeil, Morton
Best: Seaby, Dennis-Lane, Moore, White, Lynch, McNeil
R14 Reserves 18.21 (129) defeated UWS 6.6 (42) @ ANZ Stadium
Poor conversion in front of goal didn't cost the Reserves anything but a bigger victory as they were too strong for the youngsters from UWS. Nick Malceski was in fine form, rebounding from half back in a dynamic display with ex-West Coast rookie Lewis Broome setting the stadium alight with 5 well taken goals.
Goals: Broome 5, Dennis-Lane 4, Gordon 2, Biggs, Mitchell, Spangher, McNeil, Moody, Potter, Moore
Best: Malceski, McNeil, Meredith, Broome, Dennis-Lane, Potter
R19 UWS Giants 9.10 (64) defeated by Reserves 18.18 (126) @ Skoda Stadium
The Giants jumped the Swans early to kick the first 3 goals of the match before the Swans clawed their way back in the contest to trail by only a goal. The 2nd half was a completely different story as the Swans caused the Giants to continually turn the ball over and hurt them on the rebound through their hard running and classy forwards. Morton led the goalkicking again but it was the key defenders in Heath and Lynch who were the real heroes keeping the Giants to just 2 goals after half time.
Goals: Morton 5, Lamb 4, Spangher 2, Crawford, Everitt, Heeney, Thurgarland, Roos, McNeil, Broome
Best: Heath, White, Lynch, Moore, Lamb, Thurgarland

Changes
In:
Out:
Just like the seniors, no changes.
Mitchell will look to build upon his full game last week and will be joined at the coalface by Everitt, Robinson, Marsh and Lloyd. White will continue his solo hand in the ruck, with only the barest of assistance from Walsh or Everitt. The actual positions of Walsh and Brown will depend on the matchups on the day, they are likely to be at opposite ends though. If Walsh is played back then the bulk of the goalscoring will fall mainly on the shoulders of Morton, Membrey and Jack with the rest to be, hopefully, filled in by the midfielders. Richards and Dick will be handed key posts in defence with Biggs and Lockyer also to assist.
One or more of Morton, Walsh, White will travel with the seniors but should be back in Sydney before the game starts. (hope they aren't flying Tiger)
Academy Players/Topups
In: Brassil, Hadden, Johnston, Kilpatrick, Thurgarland
Out: Harrison GREEN, Thomas HEAD, Lloyd PERRIS, Jordan WEIR
The Swans Academy are playing the GWS Academy on Saturday, and thus we lose Perris, Green and Weir (and Head as well if he wasn't injured) from our topup list and their putative replacements. Brassil is a tall who has played some ruck for his local team. Thurgarland played as a topup last year.

UWS Giants
In: Bang, Bugg, Haynes, Hoskin-Elliott, Plowman, Redfern, Schulz, Thornton
Out: Taylor ADAMS, Sam ASKEW, Aidan CORR, Tim CLOWRY, Tyson NUNN, Jacob TOWNSEND, Luke WHARTON
The Giants of course will also be missing their Academy players too, but given they already have 20 listed players in the squad that's not such a hindrance for them as it is for us. Excitingly for them, their Danish international scholarship midfielder Aksel Bang gets his NEAFL debut as a result.
Their in-form players include on-ballers Mark Whiley and Anthony Miles, utilities Nick Haynes and Curtly Hampton and ruckman Tom Downie. Frost, Wilson and Thornton will be their main targets up forward. Highly rated number 3 pick Lachie Plowman is making his NEAFL debut after getting a taste of senior AFL football early and will have fellow high draftee Matt Buntine and Sam Darley by his side.
