    Space-age machine is Sydney Swans' secret weapon

    The football dept have a new tool and no it's not a reappearence of Saddington
    "It is the six-figure space-age machine that is residing in the usually off-limits underground gymnasium at the Swans headquarters and is the only one of its type in Australia.

    Designed by NASA engineers, the Swans are hoping this gravity-defying treadmill will do for its growing list of thirty-somethings what it has done for Lance Armstrong, Brett Farve, Shaquille O'Neil and Paula Radcliffe - enable them to sustain peak performance in the latter years of their careers.

      Fascinating. Nothing like having a secret weapon. And I bet there are fights about whose turn it is.
      He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

                          A weapon from the space age? Sounds intriguing.
