    Round 2: Sydney Swans Reserves v WSU Giants @ Blacktown

    NEAFL 2016 Round 2

    Sydney Swans Reserves v WSU Giants

    Note: New Venue and Starting Time

    Saturday 9th April 2016
    10.30am
    Blacktown International Sportspark

    The Rhyce Shaw era kicked off with an impressive 20 goal thrashing of the hapless Brisbane Lions but the first home game for the new coach will be against perennial NEAFL powerhouse the WSU Giants. The Giants meanwhile had a fantastic tussle with the mighty Sydney Uni, trailing by 14 points at half time but storming home to win by 20 points.

    These 2 teams clashed twice in 3 weeks during the preseason with each team claiming one convincing victory. The Swans unexpectedly turning the tables on their cross town rivals just 2 weeks ago to record an impressive win, with the match also played at Blacktown.

    The Giants have had the edge over the Swans in recent seasons, winning all 4 of our matches in the NEAFL regular season by an average winning margin of 83 points. With both teams fielding a strong team this week, with plenty of fringe players on both sides pushing for senior selection, it should be a very competitive game.

    Changes
    In: Derickx, Towers, B.Jack, Murray
    Out: Abe DAVIS (senior emergency), Ben McGLYNN (seniors)

    Derickx returns and will share main ruck duties with Nankervis with one resting in the forward line. Towers will play a similar role to his seniors position, across half forward pushing up to the wings. Jack has usually been used in the inside midfield, but in his last practice game he was used more as an outside runner. Murray is a pacy forward flanker who will add potency to our forward line.

    Marsh's return to the midfield has been a successful one with the WA native producing two consecutive impressive outings. Dawson's versatility has seen him being used in a variety of roles including as an inside midfielder and as a half forward flanker, but with Davis not in the team this week, he could be seeing more time deep inside our forward line as a marking target

    2 weeks ago the big danger for the Swans was Jonathon Patton. While the big General has earnt a recall to their senior team, the task doesn't get easier with mobile talls Stewart and Tomlinson likely to cause issues. Tomlinson in particular was dominant in their Round 1 game, picking up 35 disposals, 18 marks and kicking 3 goals as he was utilised all over the ground.

    Jacob Hopper, their Academy product who was pick 7 in the last draft was also impressive with 28 disposals and was rewarded with selection as an emergency for their senior side. Defender Zac Williams, who would easily earn a place at many other AFL clubs but can't get a game due to the Giants's strength in medium-small defenders, provides plenty of run from defence and sets up many of their attacks.

    They are also slightly weaker in the defence and ruck areas. They lost ex-Geelong ruckman Dawson Simpson who suffered a shoulder injury in their Round 1 match, but will have last year's NSW/ACT ruck Matthew Flynn to deputise in tandem with Tom Downie. Tomlinson and Stewart can also pinch hit in the ruck, while Patfull's promotion to the seniors to replace the injured Caleb Marchbank will put additional pressure on Haynes, Mohr and Himmelberg.

    Excellent preview Ugg - is Abe Davis close to a call up ? And if so, where might he play ?

    I don't think he's that close although I'm sure he would do okay in a one off game.

    They've adopted a rotating non playing emergency role in the past few years where the player sitting out isn't the next cab off the rank, mainly because that player needs game time in the NEAFL. I think it made more sense when there was the sub and you could 'hide' away this player for most of the game but it would be interesting to see what happens if someone did hurt themselves in the warm up, touch wood

    Davis has been playing key forward this year. Last year he played in the midfield (and pinch hit in the ruck) and I believe he has played as a key defender in his junior days. So in summation I have no idea

    A weaker GWS ressies team this game without the usual avalanche of high draft picks, just a pick 4, two pick 7's, a 9 and a 16 that were top 20 picks. That's better than the full Adelaide list, and this is a ressies team!

    Thanks for the usual professional and comprehensive preview Ugg - cheers

    More importantly- how's his hair this year?
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    Pretty good game so far. The Giants' kicking on the break has probably been better than the Swans', but the Swans' forward pressure has been excellent. Lots of involvement early from Dawson, Rose became very lively as the quarter progressed, and Aliir has been pretty good too, cutting off numerous Giants attempts to escape from their defence and showing good agility in the process.

    Jack Steele looks like he's going to be a pretty good player for them. Huge kid for a young midfielder.

    Nominative determinism?

    I liked Newman too in that quarter, didn't panic in traffic

    It certainly does seem that way!

    Agree on Newman, looked composed.
