We travel out to Blacktown International Sports Park this week to play Gold Coast. We have played the Suns twice so far this season. In the first game we gave them a footy lesson at home.
Swans R. 19.17=131 to Suns 4.7=31
On the second occasion it was far closer. They got a few player back and we lost a few due to injury. We also played them at Metricon as a curtain raiser to the Suns match.
Swans R. 12.12=84 to Suns 9.12=66
The suns will be packing a pretty good line up for tomorrow's match. They are almost at full strength but so are we. This week we get Membrey & Towers back from the Seniors but lose our most consistent player Shane Biggs, who is travelling emergency for the Port match. We also gain Zac Jones back from injury and Academy players from the Rams duty, including Abe Davis, Jack Hiscox and Callum Mills. The swans side is certainly strong but we are not playing at home and the NEAFL draw is flawed, in that several of our home games this year, have been played while our Seniors played away games. The NEAFL might consider Blacktown International Sports Park our home ground but we don't. Only five games this year are curtain raisers to the Seniors, which is unforgivable. I don't know who does the draw for the NEAFL but they might like to look at getting the Reserves as a curtain raiser, a bit more often.
The teams for this week are;

The side will not line up this way, Towers will play forward, Zac Jones will start as will BJ & Tom Mitchell. We are very tall up forward, so expect to see one of the talls start on the pine.

The Suns are 0-16 on the bottom of the ladder and we are 12-3 sitting fourth. We should account for them quite easily but they have a few players back and have been improving as the season has progressed. Expect a feisty performance from the Suns but I think it will be the Swans who take home the biscuits in this one.
Swans by 30 points.
