NEAFL 2015 Round 14
Brisbane Lions Reserves v Sydney Swans Reserves
Sunday 12th July 2015
12.00pm
Coorparoo
The Reserves come into this game on the back of two thrashings at the end hands of Sydney Uni and UWS Giants. They will be strengthened by the return of Craig Bird from injury, Toby Nankervis from the seniors but most pleasing of all Lloyd Perris almost a year to day he played his last NEAFL game for the Swans.
The Lions will also be a much stronger team this week with some key listed players returning as well as welcoming back their two highly regarded Academy members Eric Hipwood and Ben Keays, both of whom are expected to be bid on in the upcoming draft. Despite their lowly position on the ladder, the Lions possess enough talent in their side to hand the Swans another loss.
The Reserves last played the Lions in Round 8 in Newcastle, when the Lions only had 11 listed players and were comfortably beaten by 74 points. They have named 16 in the team list although at least 2 will drop out to fill out their senior team's bench.

Changes
In: Nankervis, Bird, Perris
Out: Jack HISCOX (traveling emergency), Tom DERICKX (injury), Daniel ROBINSON (?)
Derickx went off with a upper body injury midway through the 2nd quarter last week and the Swans were left short without another recognised ruckman in the team. Nankervis' return alleviates this problem but it comes at a cost of his goals up forward. Without him and Naismith the Swans will be looking at smaller players such as Rose, Jack, Bird and Hewett to kick the goals whilst hoping McLaren can rediscover some of his early season form up forward.
Davis battled hard in the ruck against the taller Phillips last week and whilst he might chip in with a few minutes here and there to relief Nankervis, he should have the freedom to play off a wing or in the forward line this week. Bird, Perris and Foote's returns to the side bolster the depleted midfield unit

2 of Beasley, Lester, Mayes, O'Brien and Robertson will be omitted as they will be named in the senior team on Friday afternoon. Perhaps one more could be held back as an emergency. That would result in 13-14 listed players which should give our team of 15 listed players a good contest.
West and Freeman play their first matches of the year and add height to a side that has struggled to kick goals this year with Hammelmann their leading goalkicker with 21. O'Brien has been dominant in the midfield at this level but has yet to translate that form into his sporadic AFL appearances. Mayes and Cutler have also put up impressive numbers at this level but have only played 3 matches each.
