    Round 11: Queanbeyan Tigers v Sydney Swans Reserves

    NEAFL Round 11
    Queanbeyan Tigers v Sydney Swans Reserves
    Saturday 9th June 2012 2.00pm
    Dairy Farmers Park

    The Reserves make their second and last regular season trip to Canberra, heading to Dairy Farmers Park for a top of the table clash with the resurgent Queanbeyan Tigers. After a very poor 2011 in which they only won 4 games, a few eyebrows were raised in the nation's capital when the Tigers opted for former Essendon rookie Kade Klemke, who at 21 years old would be younger than most of his charges, as their new playing coach. Klemke brought along some quality recruits with him; his brother Ben Klemke, ex-Bomber teammate Jarrod Atkinson, ex-Sydney rookie Matt Beckmans and of course himself to bolster the Queanbeyan squad. The bold move looks to have paid off with the Tigers seating on top of the Eastern Conference ladder, with only a 4 point loss to the UWS Giants their only defeat of the year.

    The Swans were very impressive in their away form last year, winning 6 of the 7 Canberra games with their only loss unfortunately coming at the Eastern Conference Grand Final when they were upset by Ainslie. This reversed a trend of poor results in Canberra in the preceding years.

    Past Meetings
    2011
    R11 Reserves 15.12 (102) defeated Queanbeyan 7.11 (53) @ Lakeside Oval
    Poor ball use by the Swans and good pressure from the Tigers ensured a close contest for the majority of the game. The Swans' superior fitness came to the fore in the last quarter as usual and they buried Queanbeyan with 4 goals to none. Jesse White kicked 6 goals with Paul Bevan excelling as a leading forward.

    Goals: White 6, Moore 3, Heath 2, Bevan 2, Thompson, Gordon
    Best: Bevan, McNeil, Currie, Heath, Murphy, Sumner

    R13 Reserves 33.22 (220) defeated Queanbeyan 5.2 (32) @ Sydney Cricket Ground
    A weakened Queanbeyan side, debuting a new coach and a few youngsters, were no match for a disciplined outfit. Trent Dennis-Lane ran riot in the first half with 8 goals, before ending with 9 while Nathan Gordon and Matthew Spangher also had days out with 7 and 6 goals respectively. Jarred Moore set the tone early with his forward half tackling and distribution while Luke Parker won plenty of ball in the midfield

    Goal Kickers: Dennis-Lane 9, Gordon 7, Spangher 6, Moore 3, E.Moody 2, Sumner 2, Parker, A.Moody, Currie, Pyke
    Best Players: Gordon, Moore, Parker, Spangher, Currie, Sumner

    R20 Queanbeyan 4.13 (37) defeated by Reserves 21.24 (150) @ Dairy Farmers Park
    A side with little to play for had little resistance for the rampaging Reserves who were still in contention for the minor premiership. Nathan Gordon continued his hot form with 6 goals and an all round BOG performance. Dylan McNeil and Jarred Moore dominated the midfield.

    Goals: Gordon 6, Dennis-Lane 5, Spangher 2, Lamb 2, Moore 2, McNeil, Lynch, Malceski, Robinson
    Best: Gordon, McNeil, Moore, Rohan, Lamb, Malceski

    Last Round
    Reserves 16.13 (109) defeated Gold Coast 8.8 (56) @ Blacktown International Sports Park
    In the wet and damp, the talls Mark Seaby (in the ruck) and Matthew Spangher (at CHF) dominated for the Swans as they romped to a comfortable 9 goal win over the Suns. The physicality and pressure of the home team was too much for Gold Coast whose sloppiness proved costly as they could only manage 3 goals to 3 quarter time.

    Goals: Spangher 4, Morton 3, Everitt 2, Seaby 2, Moody, Cunningham, Mitchell, White, Walsh
    Best: Seaby, Spangher, Biggs, Everitt, Moore, Davis

    Queanbeyan 16.10 (106) defeated Ainslie 13.11 (89) @ Dairy Farmers Park
    Any lingering doubts about the Tigers' chances of winning the premireship were extinguished when they overcame last year's premiers in a tight contest. Full forward James Kavanagh kicked 4 goals to extend his lead at the top of the goalkicking charts.

    Goals: Kavanagh 4, Freund 2, Swans 2, Conroy 2, Atkinson, Liddle, Bryce, Griggs, Stevens, Jolliffe
    Best: Griggs, Swan, King, Overs, Quade, Atkinson

    #NameGamesGoalsVotesNotes
    1Mark SEABY4818Has earnt votes in 3 of his 4 games - all BOGs !
    10Mitch MORTON9399A 'quiet' game last week, with only 3 goals - his lowest return for 6 weeks but leads the goalkicking race in the Eastern Conference.
    17Tommy WALSH81516Omiited from the emergencies this week and is probably behind Spangher in the key forward stakes
    18Jesse WHITE4123(Seniors emergencies) Didn't ruck last week but may this week with Sam Naismith's exclusion.
    27Matthew SPANGHER3910The tall forwards are working well in the seniors so Spang will have to bide his time
    28Dylan McNEIL921Will assume a more prominent midfield role with Mitchell, Everitt and Gordon all missing from last week's midfield.
    33Jarred MOORE9928Another game, another vote, Bulldog has polled in 7 of the 9 matches.
    35Campbell HEATH9012In his sights: James Kavanagh the 2nd leading goalkicker in the Eastern Conference.
    36Alex BROWN100Neat debut playing off the halfback flank, will have limited game time again this week.
    42Jack LYNCH958Has quietened down since his hot start to the season
    43Eugene KRUGER710Expected to play as the small defender again.
    44Harry CUNNINGHAM846(Seniors emergencies)Off the seniors list one week, back on it the next.
    46Shane BIGGS7310Third week in a row he has earnt votes, how far off is he from a promotion?
    Changes
    In:
    Out: Tom Mitchell (???), Nick Malceski (seniors promotion), Andrejs Everitt (seniors promotion), Nathan Gordon (traveling emergency)

    While there were explanations for both Jed Lamb's and Jordan Lockyer's absence from the team last week, the mystery that is Brett Meredith's absence from this team will continue for another week. Mitchell's omission will also cause some consternation - let's hope it is nothing too serious.

    There was a strong contingent of 17 listed players last week but due to Parker's injury, McGlynn's suspension and a need for a travelling emergency this drops down to a worrying low number of 13.

    Armstrong for the most of the year and Malceski last week played the rebounding defender role, so another Swan will have to take up the reins in their absence. Brown showed promising signs in his first game back last week won't play the full game, so it will probably fall on Biggs or Kruger's shoulders.

    Spangher, Morton, White and Walsh form a scary looking forward line that is sure to cause problems for the Queanbeyan backline. The midfield looks a little weak with Moore, McNeil and Cunningham the regulars in that area. White had a cameo role off a wing in the last quarter last week and might be an option if things get desperate for Crouch.

    4 big outs for Queanbeyan with the Klemke brothers both very prominent for their side this year and former Mulrooney Medalist Mitch Daniher also unavailable.

    Summary
    Both sides are missing key personnel and the team that adjusts to their absence better may well claim the 4 points.

    That looks like a big win for the 2s. Looking forward to seeing some comments.
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
