NEAFL 2018 Round 16
Sydney Swans Reserves v Gold Coast Suns Reserves @ Sydney Cricket Ground
Saturday 21st July 2018
10:30am
SCG
A rare morning curtain raiser should be one to savour for NEAFL fans, both teams coming off impressive wins with limited personnel last week. Despite being able to call upon the services of 10 listed players, the Swans were impressive in demolishing the NT Thunder by 74 points to register their 9th straight win. The Suns also away from home punished a profligate Giants outfit to claim the important 4 points and keep themselves in the hunt for a finals spot.
Both teams are boosted by significant returns this week which shapes up as an interesting contest.

Changes
In: Grundy, Robinson, Rohan, Stoddart, Styles
Out: Darcy CAMERON (AFL), Toby PINK (injured)
It will be a very different lineup that takes the field in comparison to the dominant team of the past 2 months. Gone are the major ball winners Newman, O'Riordan and Marsh and this week also sees the loss of Cameron who has been arguably the NEAFL's best ruckman. Amartey will take over the mantle as the number 1 ruck, which will be a slight shame as he played his best game at full forward last week. Stoddart and Styles return after 2 games out with injury.
Grundy has been named at full forward which is a throwback to his first few years at the club when he was a goalkicking machine at AFL Canberra level alongside 2005 GF emergency Luke Vogels.

Ainsworth has since withdrawn due to illness. Rosa, Hanley and Barlow together have 489 games of AFL experience between them and will form part of a very strong midfield. Barlow is averaging an amazing 43.2 disposals 8.4 marks 6.8 tackles and 7.8 clearances and will be a prime target for the Swans to shut down. Jacob Dawson has produced some great tagging performances this year (he tagged James Rose successfully in the 2nd half in Round 4) and could line up on Robinson, Dawson or Towers.
Where the Suns will be lacking is in the ruck where they've been relying on Academy player Jackson Brumley. While Brumley has been dropped, the presence of 4 emergencies in their team list indicates he should be a late in, as the named replacement in the ruck Lachlan McDonald is a 185cm utility.
Also without any recognised key forwards the Suns could find it hard to a kick a winning score.
Grundy will be playing. Robinson is the emergency rested.
Suns lose Hanley and Schoenfeld in addition to Ainsworth
I woke up early for this?
Probably a game that has been under-umpired, in that they seem to be largely ignoring all the in the backs, holding the balls and high contacts. Consequently, much of the game has been a scrappy, rolling melee.
Dawson's 108 fantasy points at half time, is fairly impressive though.
They are each playing pretty much where they feel like it. Rohan seems to be starting across halfback but is running forward a lot. Dawson has clearly been our best. He “almost” took another couple of contested marks in the forward line, at least one of which should have earned him a free for interference in the marking contest.
Dawson having a super game. He not only has 18 disposals for us by halftime, but also has 21 for the Suns.
Reg and Rohan bringing our senior game style to the NEAFL.
Amartey and Bell both injured early this half and I think Rohan hasn’t reappeared.
