NEAFL 2015 Semi Final 2
Aspley Hornets v Sydney Swans Reserves
Saturday 5th September 2015
12.00pm
Graham Road
After waiting all year to successfully avenge their 2014 Grand Final loss, the Reserves find themselves in a little Groundhog Day situation. They play the same team at the same venue at the same starting time. However, due to some injuries the Swans will not be fielding the same lineup, having lost 3 listed players from last week's team. Aspley will be highly motivated this week and keen not to repeat their last quarter fade out when they conceded 7 last quarter goals to relinquish a 10 point 3 quarter point lead and finish with a 20 point loss.
The winner of this clash will play the UWS Giants in a preliminary final next week for a spot in the granny.

Team List
Listed players
Changes
In:
Out: James ROSE (senior emergency), Abe DAVIS (senior emergency), Nic NEWMAN (elbow)
A listed player missing from each part of the ground - Newman in defence, Davis in midfield and Rose in attack. We'll need players like McLaren, Hiscox and Melican who have been relatively quiet as of late, to step up and contribute in their teammates' absences.
Taking Rose out of this side robs it of its leading goalkicker as well as one of its more creative forwards. Therefore the key to winning the game will come down to the quality of the Swans defence and their ability to restrict the Aspley lineup to a low enough score.
Academy Players/Topups
In: Baron-Hay, Kilpatrick, McFadden, Osborne, Taylor, Wilson
Out: Jake BROWN, Harrison CARR, Eli PRESCOTT
Mills only played the 2nd half last week as the Swans take the conservative route in managing his comeback from injury. Behagg chipped in with a game high 3 goals while Hebron was stout in defence.

Aspley Hornets
In: Argus, C.Wagner, J.Wagner
Out: Henry JOYCE (injured), Brendan COLCH, Jordan MILLS
In last week's preview I highlighted 4 Aspley players I felt were crucial to their side's chances of success. 3 of those players in Matt Payne, Cheynee Stiller and Gavin Grose had good games but the one that crucially missed out was their dangerous forward Eddie Sansbury who was immacuately defended by Xavier Richards. Sansbury had the 6 disposals and just the one goal as Richards showed he is more than capable on playing on smaller forwards as well as taller ones. The Swans will require a repeat dose of Richards' performance this week if they are to win.
