NEAFL 2017 Round 7
Canberra Demons v Sydney Swans Reserves @ Manuka Oval
Saturday 13th May 2017
12:00pm
Manuka Oval
The Canberra Demons had a difficult first season in the NEAFL in 2016, only finishing ahead of the Lions Reserves on percentage. New head coach Kade Klemke (who is also a player) has managed to turn their fortunes around in such a short space of time, their 3 wins already equalling their 3 wins from 2016. Amongst those 3 victories have included impressive scalps in reigning premiers the Giants and last week completed a last minute victory against the NT Thunder in Darwin.
The Swans themselves are in great form, following up their historic triumph against the Thunder with a resounding victory against the previously undefeated Lions at the SCG.

Coach Klemke has not only been doing it off the field, but has proved to be one of the NEAFL's best rebounding defenders, leading the league in Rebound 50s with a massive 7.2 per game. Averaging 23.5 disposals, 4.6 marks and 2.6 tackles he is proving to be a stable presence down back. He is also leading the club in the NEAFL MVP votes with 15
Klemke has also recruited well, picking up Queanbeyan duo Andrew Swan and Cameron Milne. Swan's versatility has proved invaluable with his ability to play at either end of the ground as well through the middle. Milne has taken up the number 1 ruck mantle with aplomb, and is 5th in the NEAFL in hitouts.
Last year's NEAFL MVP runner-up Jordan Harper was considered unlucky to miss being drafted last year but he continues to impress averaging a team high 28.0 disposals along with 4.0 clearances a game. He is well supported by fellow young guns Mitch Maguire, Sam Martyn and Isaac Taylor all averaging over 20 touches a game.
Newly appointed captain and former Swan Aaron Bruce and former Ainslie star Josh Bennett are the Demons's main avenue to goal
