NEAFL 2015 Round 10

Eastlake Demons v Sydney Swans Reserves

Saturday 13th June 2015
12.00pm
StarTrack Oval (Manuka)

The 2nd and last Canberra trip of the regular season for the ressies, this time traveling to face the winless Eastlake Demons. Despite picking up 3 senior players from Queanbeyan in the off season, new coach Ben Waite has been unable to turn around the flagging fortunes of the club.

While the Reserves go into this match as extremely hot favourites, they have failed to put together solid four quarter performances in their previous 2 games and co-coaches Jared Crouch and Marty Mattner will be hoping for a better output from the team as a whole.

Changes
In: Marsh
Out: James ROSE (?), Toby NANKERVIS (senior emergency), Jack HISCOX (senior emergency)

A season low 13 listed players will take the field in Canberra. Marsh returns from his senior emergency duties against the Suns, whilst big Nankervis and the speedy Hiscox get their turn in that role this week. This means Derickx will now ruck most of the game after having to do a time share with Sam Naismith and Nankervis for most of the year. McLaren will back him up in the ruck, which is a good move individually for him as he needs to get more involved in the play.

The 2 major ball winners in this team are Kirk Mahon (avg 23.0 disposals per game) and Nick Fothergill (22.7 per game). Fothergill received the NEAFL Round 1 Rising Star nomination, while teammate Sam Jensen (13.2 per game) received the Round 6 nomination. David Cummins sets up a lot of their play from half back and will be closely watched.

The Demons have struggled to kick goals this year with their top goal scorers being Daniel De Gois (7 goals in 7 games) and Fothergrill (also 7 in 7). Former Swan Aaron Bruce has struggled with his accuracy this year kicking 3 goals 8 behinds.

Former Adelaide rookie list player Ben Dowdell has anchored their ruck division this year (avg 21.6 hitouts per game)
