NEAFL 2015 Round 12
Sydney Swans Reserves v Sydney University
Friday 26th June 2015
4.10pm
Sydney Cricket Ground
When these 2 sides met in Round 4 as the curtain closer to the Swans-Bulldogs game, Uni were winless and a torrential downpour resulted in a tough, hard fought slog that the Swans eventually won thanks to a scintillating 3rd quarter.
Fast forward 7 rounds later and Uni have turned their season around and are in line for their first NEAFL finals appearance. They have achieved this with some impressive victories, including an upset of the NT Thunder over in the NT. Their big name recruits have started to gel and they are in good form. With the Swans again fielding only 13 listed players, there may be an upset on the cards.

Team List
Listed players
Changes
In: Nankervis, Hiscox, Robinson
Out: Abe DAVIS (senior emergency), Zak JONES (seniors), Tom DERICKX (seniors)
The midfield is boosted by the return of Robinson who needs game time after 2 sub's appearances. Some height is lost through Davis being rested as an emergency, he filled in as a tall forward against Eastlake. With Nankervis and McLaren the only genuine tall forwards, who have to split time in the ruck as well, hopefully the bulk of the scoring will be picked up by the midfield and the small forwards.
Academy Players/Topups
In: Coenen, Davis, Kilpatrick, Sanderson, Sierakowski, Treacy
Out: Jake BROWN, James CUBIS, Zac FYFFE, Lachlan MAPLES, Oscar OSBORNE, Will TAYLOR, Jake VEALE
Davis is BOA (brother of Abe).

In: O'Dwyer, Wray
Out: Krochmal, Powys
No changes indicates a very settled team.
Former Collingwood and Western Bulldogs player Tom Young has been their best player in the first half of the season, averaging 24.9 disposals, 4.6 marks and 6.0 clearances. He is currently second in the NEAFL MVP voting. He has been ably supported by fellow midfielders Sam Fong and Mitch Thompson. Former West Coast and Port Adelaide defender Lewis Stevenson is providing plenty of rebound from defence with his 21.7 disposals per game. Up forward, tall forward Jacob Derickx BOT (brother of Tom) and small forward Tim Barrett jointly lead their goalkicking with 17 goals each.
Aspley recruit Jed Turner has proven invaluable in the ruck and also provides another tall option up forward.
In addition, Sertbas, Thompson, Foster, Campbell, Krochmal and Young will be familiar to the Swans as have all played as a topup for our side one time or another.
