NEAFL 2016 Round 12
Sydney Swans Reserves v Aspley Hornets @ Blacktown
Sunday 19th June 2016
9.30am
Blacktown International Sports Park
Note: new venue
Rhyce Shaw's perfect coaching record suffered it's first blot when the valiant but undermanned Swans team went down to a fast finishing Giants outfit by an agonising one point last week at Spotless Stadium. Down to one available player in the final quarter, a 50m penalty by Swans ruckman Sam Naismith proved costly as the Giants snatched victory despite trailing for most of the game.
Aspley, despite having a further turnover of quality of players including Josh Wagner to the Melbourne Demons, continue to be a strong team in the NEAFL, currently sitting 3rd on the NEAFL ladder and have already beaten the 3 other AFL reserves sides this year. The Swans and the Hornets have developed a rivalry of sorts in the NEAFL's short history with the Hornets knocking out the Swans in the past 2 NEAFL finals series, including the dramatic 2014 Grand Final up at Aspley's home ground when a contentious free kick after the siren led to the winning goal. This will be the first time the Hornets have traveled to Sydney to face the Swans.

Changes
In: Cunningham, T.Richards, Papley, X.Richards
Out: Aliir ALIIR (seniors), Tyrone LEONARDIS (seniors), Sam REID (calf), Dean TOWERS (seniors), Lewis MELICAN (?)
Teddy replaces Aliir in defence, Cunningham replaces Towers in the midfield and Xavier will resume his new role up forward in place of the injured Reid. It remains to be seen whether Papley will be used in his specialist small forward role only or will he get a run in the midfield as well, something that is not uncommon for Swans medium/small forwards to do at this level.

In: Daye, Leong, Gribble
Out: Ryan HOLMAN, Jack STANLEY, Jon WILLIAMS
The 3 outs are major players for Aspley, in particular Jon Williams who is their leading tackler and is 3rd in disposals.
2014 NEAFL B&F winner Matt Payne continues to be Aspley's linchpin in their midfield, leading their disposals and clearance numbers and ranking 2nd in tackles and currently sits 2nd in this year's MVP voting.
However the Hornets are currently missing leading goalkicker James Nelis and they have struggled to kick goals in the last 2 weeks as a result.
