NEAFL 2014 Round 12
Sydney University v Sydney Swans Reserves
Saturday 14th June 2014
Blacktown International Sports Park #1 Oval 1.45pm
Note: The new time and venue
Drummoyne Oval has been declared unfit to host this match, probably due to the wet weather in the past few days so the match will be played at Blacktown, straight after the also-rescheduled NSW/ACT Rams v Calder Cannon TAC Cup game. Unforunately the new time results in this match being played concurrently with the seniors, so ressies watchers will have to miss out this week.
No word yet whether a stream and replay will be available on YouTube.
The Students recruited well during the off-season adding ex-AFL players Matt O'Dwyer, Will Sierakowski and Ryan Brabazon to their list and the results have flowed on from the new signings' strong performances with Uni tied with Ainslie as the highest ranking NSW/ACT non-AFL reserves side on the NEAFL ladder at the moment and just out of a finals spot on percentage.
The Swans battled through a poor performance to record a hard-fought win over a gallant Suns outfit last week and coach Crouch will be keen for his charges to lift their output this week.

Past Meetings
2013
R22Sydney University 8.8 (56) defeated by Reserves 18.23 (111) @ Sydney Cricket Ground
Goals: Head 3, Towers 3, Lloyd 2, Cunningham 2, Membrey 2, Heeney 2, McKinlay, Davis, Biggs, Jack
Best: Lockyer, Armstrong, Cunningham, Biggs, Lloyd, McKinlay
Last Round
Gold Coast Suns Reserves 9.12 (66) defeated by Reserves 12.13 (85) @ Metricon Stadium
Goals: Membrey 3, O'Keefe 2, Hewett 2, Nankervis 2, Preen, Rohan, Pyke
Best: Membrey, Jack, O'Keefe, Robinson, Lockyer, Hewett
Team List
Listed players
Changes
In: Dick
Out: Aliir ALIIR (???), Brandon JACK (seniors promotion), Harrison MARSH (???), Tom MITCHELL (ankle)
As noted, Pyke being named in the side suggests there is uncertainty about the make up of the senior lineup. In any case, we will have to subtract at least 2 listed players out of Jones, Rohan, Membrey and Pyke from this list. One who will actually play in the seniors, and one as the standby emergency as the reserves and seniors games are both being played at the same time.
Marsh and Aliir are the unexplained outs but an eyewitness at the Suns game last week said the Swans finished with nofit players on the bench. With BJ being rested after the third quarter as the seniors emergency, and Tom Mitchell confirmed taken off with an ankley injury, Marsh and Aliir must have been the other 2 injured. They only had 9 and 8 disposals respectively against the Suns so this would seem to corroborate my theory.
With Richards still out this week, the return of Dick is a welcome one. He and Walsh, along with possibly Lockyer should hold down the key defensive posts.
Academy Players/Topups
In: Bottin-Noonan, M.Dickson, T.Dickson, Green, Hey, Osborne, Parker
Out: Simon McGRILLEN, Daniel PREEN
Many possible debutants in this list as the usual suspects would be playing for the Rams in the preceding game. However the Swans can call upon the likes of Campbell and Bottin-Noonan who are named as emergencies for the Rams.

In: Brabazon, Howard
Out: Matthew RAWLINSON, Jake SWARTS
Ressies diehards will recognise a few names. Besides the listed ex-Swans MOD and Braba, there's a bunch of ex-Swans scholarship/Academy players in Bottin-Noonan (whose could come up against his brother who is one of our toppies!), Sertbas and Mitch Thompson. Losing their top possession winner Rawlinson (27.9 per game) is a big blow, but his omission is offset by the return of Brabazon.
NEAFL representatives Jacob Derickx (any relation to Tom?) and Tim Barton round out a strong looking squad.
