Team List
Listed players
- 7. Brett Meredith
- 8. Trent Dennis-Lane
- 10. Daniel Currie
- 13. Pat Veszpremi (Senior emergency)
- 22. Byron Sumner
- 23. Lewis Johnston
- 25. Ted Richards (Senior emergency)

In: Veszpremi (Senior demotion) Richards (Non-playing senior emergency) Playfair (injury) Heath (rest?)
Out: Ed Barlow (rest?) Sam Reid (rest?) Lewis Jetta (senior emergency/rest?) Taylor Gilchrist (rest?)
4 ins and 4 (unexplained) outs. Perhaps the coaching staff have settled on 15 listed players as a manageable number of players who they think will get a useful amount of game time (max 13 on field + 2 on the bench). It's somewhat disappointing that Reid and McNeil have to miss out as they have been consistently amongst the best players for the Swans this year.
Scholarship Players
- 49. Jack Lynch
- 48. Jackson Potter
In: Potter
Out: Mitch May
Top ups
- 51. Kieran Emery (North Shore)
- 50. Eugene Kruger (East Coast)
- 54. Harry Orr (Sydney Uni?)
- 53. Mal Picken (Wollongong)
- 47. Angus Robson (UNSW/ES)
Semi-regular Emery gets another game while Kruger is the only other one to have played for this year, all the way back in Round 1.

Talking points
- According to Roos, Moore continues to be troubled by his ankle injury and one suspects that he will not be recalled to the seniors until he can prove he can run out these games without any trouble.
- Jetta plays his second reserves game, will that elusive goal continue to elude him?
- The stakes are starting to heat up in the goalkicking race. Both Johnston and TDL have 9 goals total from the past 2 rounds. They will be joined by Playfair and possibly Emery to form a potent combination up forward.
- In the absence of McNeil, it will be a wonderfully opportunity for Veszpremi, MOD, Moore and Meredith to spend time in the middle - a position they don't get much of a chance at seniors level.
- It will be the first chance for Sydney-based supporters to see Sumner in action (excluding the NAB Cup)
