NEAFL 2015 Round 17
Sydney Swans Reserves v Brisbane Lions Reserves
Saturday 1st August 2015
12.55pm
Sydney Cricket Ground
Note: Match being streamed live on neafl.com.au
A win against the Lions Reserves would guarantee the Swans qualify for the finals for the 6th consecutive year. The Lions have been plagued with injuries all year and have struggled to field competitive lineups for most of the season.
The Swans will be boosted by the return of big ruckman Sam Naismith from a groin injury.
The Swans have won both matchups this season including a 30 point victory away in Brisbane just 3 rounds ago.

Changes
In: Jones, Robinson, Hewett, Naismith
Out: Ben McGLYNN (seniors), Jordan FOOTE (?)
Naismith's inclusion gives the Swans more firepower in the forward line with one of the 2 ruckmen being able to rest there and provide a focal point for out forward 50 entries. Jones could see midfield time alongside Robinson, Hewett and Perris. Towers spent most of the second half last week on the half back flank.

The Lions have named a team severely lacking in inside midfielders. Besides Zac O'Brien, who is having an excellent season, they will have to rely on pinch-hitting efforts from players more accustomed to playing on the flanks such as Mitch Golby, Billy Evans and Tom Cutler.
They do have some height in the forward line with Hammelmann, Staker, McGuane and the resting ruckman in Smith/West having the ability to stretch our defence who look a little short with Xavier's absence for the second week in a row.
