NEAFL 2016 Round 7
Canberra Demons v Sydney Swans Reserves
Saturday 14th May 2016
12.00pm
Manuka Oval
Officially this is the first ever meeting between Canberra and the Swans, but in reality the Demons are just a rebranded Eastlake outfit hoping to take advantage of the fact they are the only remaining Canberra based team in the NEAFL. The Demons have struggled in the past 2 seasons, winning just 4 out of a possible 41 games and despite being bolstered by signing some of Ainslie's better players, still haven't managed to win a game this season.
The Swans continued their good form last week, with a comfortable win over the Suns Reserves and will be hoping to take an unbeaten record to the bye in the following week.

Changes
In: Aliir
Out: James ROSE (seniors emergency), Jack HISCOX (seniors), Brandon JACK (???), Tyrone LEONARDIS (???), Dean TOWERS (seniors)
Injuries to the seniors has seen the listed players number drop to a season low 14. With Jack, Rose and Towers missing from last week's team, Marsh may be required to play alongside Davis and Foote as the inside midfield brigade. Perhaps even Rohan getting a run in the middle after his quiet half of football last week would do him a world of good.

Officially Gowers's NEAFL debut but he did play in the NEAFL practice games in the preseason. He is a midfielder with big wraps on him.

Former Belconnen and Ainslie midfielder Jordan Harper has been one of the NEAFL recruits of the year. Harper is currently the competition's leading disposal winner and is currently equal 4th in the NEAFL MVP standings - an impressive result given his team hasn't won a game all year. With Nick Heyne and Isaac Taylor beside him in the midfield, young gun Luke McKay off halfback and former Adelaide Crow Ben Dowdell in the ruck, the Demons have a strong core that could cause the undermanned Swans some problems on Saturday.
