NEAFL 2015 Round 3
Gold Coast Suns Reserves v Sydney Swans Reserves
Saturday 25th April 2015
12.00pm
Harrup Park, Mackay
In what appears to have become a yearly fixture on the NEAFL schedule, the Swans Reserves will make their way up north for the second consecutive year to play on ANZAC Day. Last year proved to be a thriller for the Mackay locals as the Swans edged out the Brisbane Lions Reserves in a low-scoring affair 51-50.
The Gold Coast Suns Reserves finished wooden spooners last year, due to a significant portion of their playing list out on the sidelines, a side patched up with local topups failed to win a single game all season. And while the Suns haven't managed to win a game so far this year, they have pushed the two of the stronger sides to close losses. They went down to the UWS Giants by 31 points and then most recently were ipped reigning premiers Aspley by only 14 points. They look primed to break their 20 game losing streak against a Swans side low in confidence after their poor showing against the Giants in Round 2.

Changes
In: Hewett
Out: James HISCOX (senior emergency)
Hewett who sat out last week's game as part of his emergency duties comes back in for Hiscox who has flown to Perth as an emergency. Derickx was playing on managed time last week and will be looking to spend more time in the ruck this week. The height of the Gold Coast talls (see below) may force one of the 3 ruckmen or McLaren to go back to help Richards, Davis, Marsh and co.
Goodes will primarily play midfield again with resting periods in the forward line.

17 listed players set to play and there's a lot of height in their lineup with Brooksby, Cameron, Day, Gorringe, Hall, Leslie, Schade and Wright all considered genuine talls and might give our defence some trouble. Raines and Hallahan are experienced hardened bodies who should provide stern opposition to Mitchelll, Goodes and friends.
The ruck battle should be particularly interesting with mature age SANFL recruit Brooksby supported by Gorringe, Wright, Hall and/or Day up against our own ruck division of Naismith, Derickx and Nankervis.
