    NEAFL 2018 Round 15

    NT Thunder v Sydney Swans Reserves @ TIO Stadium

    Saturday 14th July 2018
    6:30pm (7:00pm AEST)
    TIO Stadium

    The NT Thunder have been one of the powerhouses of the NEAFL, winning the flag twice (2011, 2015) and qualifying for finals in all 7 NEAFL seasons. However, they are currently in real danger of missing out for the first time in their history, sitting in a precarious 9th position, with 2 wins and significant percentage separating them from the Top 6. Last week they managed to edge a win against bottom side Redland, overcoming a 9 point three-quarter time deficit to win by 2 goals. That broke a streak of 5 losses. They were once almost unbeatable at home, the hot conditions often resulting in away teams fading away badly in the 4th quarter. However this year, their once impregnable fortress has already witnessed 5 losses.

    In contrast the Swans will travel to Darwin full of confidence after defeating the Giants for their 8th straight win and climbed into 2nd spot after Sydney University lost yet again. However the goal of 9 straight victories has come under threat due to injuries to key senior players and are likely to head into this game with just 10 listed players, and could be without a number of key players in O'Riordan, Newman, Cameron and Marsh depending on who the Swans take to Melbourne as traveling emergencies.

    Out: Matt CAMPBELL (unavailable), Coen HUTT (injured), Scott McLEOD (omitted), Beau SCHWARZE (unavailable),

    Regardless of the fortunes of his side, the one constant that the Thunder can rely upon is Darren Ewing kicking goals. He has led the NEAFL goalkicking charts for the past 3 years, and while he looks to have lost this year's title to Matt Hammelmann of Redland (railing by 14 with 6 rounds to go), he still leads the Thunder goalkicking list with 33 in 12 games. In his 150th NEAFL game, the Thunder will again rely heavily on him to kick a winning score as they won't have the services of Adam Sambono and Hugo Drogumuller who are their 2nd and 3rd goalkickers this year. Maibaum is almost certain to get the job on Ewing.

    Other players to watch out for include Abe Ankers who along with ex-Richmond Tiger Richard Tambling are the Thunder's main ball winners. Captain Cam Ilett provides class and poise off the halfback line while former Carlton Blue Joe Anderson has been used both in defence and in the midfield. Tall defender Sam Smith will be matched up against either Amartey or Pink.

    Michael Mummery returned from U18 duty to boost the Thunder's midfield stocks. He is tipped to be drafted in this year's draft.

    It’s strange that Stoddart hasn’t been named. I went to the open training session on Wednesday and he seemed to be training fine with the main squad. I don’t recall if I saw Styles or not. There were a lot of academy boys involved in the training and a lot of caps worn. He doesn’t have either the hair or physical stature to make him stand out in a crowd.

    It could depend on the injury, perhaps a plane flight could exacerbate it. He was definitely in the Twitter video of today's training session in the green jumpers with the rest of the main squad whereas the other injured players McVeigh, Jack and Ling were wearing red shirts.

    edit: Just looked it up, he was diagnosed with concussion from the NEAFL game. Possibly something else since then?

    If Stoddart had another concussion earlier in the year it would probably be an automatic 2 week minimum layoff this time round. Or it may be the standard protocol applicable to younger players to give extra weeks off after a concussion so they don't build up a troubling record, like with Angus Brayshaw and Patty McCartin.

    That was a complete performance by a team with lots of top ups. Cameron, Foote and Amartey were probably the stand-outs but I was really impressed by the efforts of the top-ups, right across the board. I thought they might tire as the game went on, given the conditions they're not acclimatised to, but the whole team ran out the game very strongly.

    Dawson looked a little out of sorts, judging him against the standard he needs to play to push for a senior game. But it was one of the better games I've seen from Brown. He seemed to handle the greasy ball more cleanly than most, and his kicking has definitely improved as the season has progressed. Bell drifted in an out of the game, but he has a few tricks in his bag. It would just be good to see him stay involved for longer periods.

    Yes, while I suspect that NT aren't all that fit, I also really enjoyed how the toppies kept on applying a large amount of pressure, when it seemed likely that they would fade in the humidity. While I can't really proclaim that any of them will be a star, none of them looked out of place. Which I think is a testament to the training that they're receiving.
    Cameron was excellent. I think he is a bit like Sinclair, in that he's thrived on the extra responsibility. I'm also looking forward to seeing what Amartey is capable of next year, with another pre-season under his belt. He seems to have a large skill set, which will only improve; if he can add a couple of kilos of muscle and a metre or two of pace.
    AJ was good again: with his current form suggesting that he'll still be a Swan next year. While I think that Brown's recent efforts should earn him another contract. And maybe Foote is doing enough to save his career?
