      I guess it is possible if all the players qualify directly - ie they've played the minimum number of NEAFL games (which in turn depends on how many senior games they've played). Given Gold Coast suffered a lot of injuries towards the end of the season but not so much early on, it is possible that they had players who played against Port who've played very few senior games and enough NEAFL games.

        Top ups: would expect Jake Brown who has been struggling with a back fracture. He didn't play for St George prems to save himself for neafl.

        Others might be Jarrod Osborne, Harrison Carr or Sam Barkley.

        These are all 19 year old Neafl Development Squad. They have been training with the Neafl squad in the last few weeks.

        Of the 18 year olds possibly Sam Wicks who I think may have played the most top up Neafl games this year. James Bell would have played but has a broken arm.

          Gold Coast Suns have their best & fairest night that evening. It's early so the Suns players can fly back for it.

            Thanks for enlightening me. It's good to know there is a valid reason. I will try to grumble less as I leave the house at 9am on Saturday morning.

                  NEAFL 2017 Preliminary Final

                  Sydney Swans Reserves v Gold Coast Suns Reserves @ Blacktown International Sports Park

                  Saturday 2nd September 2017
                  11:00am
                  Blacktown International Sports Park

                  The start of September brings finals football to western Sydney, with the Swans hosting the Suns with the hope of qualifying for their 6th Grand Final appearance in the past 7 years. The Swans have an amazing record against the Suns in the NEAFL having won 13 straight games against their northern foes with an overall 17 wins 3 losses record. Despite their senior side's season being over, the Suns have declared their serious intentions of challenging for the NEAFL flag by adding 9 listed players to their squad to bring their total to 17 listed players. Besides the strengthening of the team, the Suns will have plenty of confidence having won 7 of their past 9 games, with the only 2 losses coming against the Swans.

                  The Swans have added Jordan Dawson and Sam Naismith and will field 21 listed players.

                  In the last round of the home and away season the Swans travelled to the Gold Coast and were held for the best part of 3 quarters by a Suns side comprising of only 7 listed players before pulling away in the last quarter to win by 11 goals.

                  It will be interesting to see how much game time Naismith gets. Having missed the past 4 AFL games, will the Swans be conservative and restrict his game time or go for broke with the view of testing his condition and playing the full game out. Aliir, Pink and Talia shared ruck duties in Round 21 but with Naismith in the team Aliir and Talia are likely to redeployed to the back line to deal with the Suns' dangerous talls.

                  Gold Coast Suns Reserves (listed players in bold)
                  In: Bowes, Brodie, Brooksby, Hallahan, MacPherson, Nicholls, Rischitelli, Scheer, Spencer
                  Out: Emmanuel BARU, Kwaybe BOAKYE, Daniel CHARLESWORTH, Sam DAVIDSON, Brodie FOSTER, Dirk KOENEN, Connor NUTTING, Kai SHEERS,

                  The return of the 9 listed players transforms the Suns into a much tougher proposition. The return of talls Brooksby and Nicholls in particularly could test the Swans backline, given our struggles against a similar setup that the Brisbane Lions had with their tall forwards.

                  Possible matchups:
                  • Naismith/Aliir/Pink v Crossley/Nicholls/Brooksby


                  The Swans have had to make do with no specialist ruckman in their side in their last 3 games since Tippett was recalled to the senior side. They have had mixed results with trialling Aliir, Pink and at times midfielders in the ruck. The return of Naismith will be most welcomed by the Swans midfield to help combat the 3 ruckmen of the Swans. Brooksby rucked in the Suns's last AFL game against the Power but the main rucking duties are likely to be handed to 18 year Crossley who dominated in Round 21 with 59 hitouts.

                  • Robinson/Foote v Hallahan


                  Hallahan is a star at NEAFL level, averaging the 2nd most clearances after NEAFL MVP winner Jordan Keras. The Swans will be keen to curb his output by assigning a tagger with Dan Robinson and Jordan Foote having taken this role at times during the year.

                  • Dawson v Rischitelli/Lonergan


                  Dawson unluckily missed out on the NEAFL MVP sitting out the R21 clash as the senior emergency for the Crows game. The Suns might not choose to place a hard tag on Dawson but will likely assign a bigger bodied, more experienced player in the likes of Rischitelli or Lonergan onto Dawson rather than one of their youngsters such as Bowes, Scheer or Schoenfeld.

                  • Maibaum v Grant


                  Grant missed the Round 21 clash with the Swans, but will be their key focal point up forward having kicked 15 goals in his last 2 NEAFL outings. Maibaum has usually been handed the task of quelling the opposition's best forward and will likely get the job. However the Swans do have plenty of other options in Talia, Aliir, Johnson or Marsh if Grant gets off the leash.

                  • Rose v Davis


                  Davis has spent time in the Gold Coast NEAFL midfield this season especially during the periods when the Suns were lacking experienced bodies in the middle. However with a strong midfield lineup named he will likely head back to defence where a possible matchup is likely on the Swans leading goalkicker in Rose. Rose does spend time in the midfield as well so it would be an ideal matchup for the Suns as Davis would be able to follow him into the middle if required.

                    How is it that Cunningham was eligible to play? Didn't we have a discussion on this and it was thought someone who played in round 23 would not be eligible for this game?

                      My guess is 16.2e only applies if you haven't qualified for 16.2b

                            In terms of Harry C's eligibility: could it just be that an agreement between the teams trumps the rules? Did we allow the Suns to play any players that might not otherwise have been eligible in turn?

                            Question: why are there 5 not 4 on the interchange benches?

                            Aside: it was good to see Coach Shaw plug Murray, Fisher and Pink on the Swans website when he was interviewed about this game and the NEAFL team.

                            I'm hoping to make it out to Blacktown tomorrow to cheer the team on.

                                Can you recall in which thread you posted the eligibility rules? I tried to go back and read them again but couldn't locate the thread.
