Off-season training thread

Ladies, they heard our call; see link below.


Come see them train! - Official AFL Website of the Sydney Swans Football Club

damn - can they not change their training hours for we gals that start work in the city at sparrows - I can whiz past at about 4.30pm but I cant do 8.30 I'm chained to my desk at that time. Well Prims - its up too you - go out there take some snaps on the box brownie - and your report will be eagerly awaited.

And don't think I will not attend at least one of these sessions. Tie it in with the Fox markets plus breakfast of champions (lemon pancakes and coffee), and I am going to have a great day out. I'll let you know how I go, not this week, its all a bit too soon and I have to build up to things slowly.

Ben McGlynn looks like Adam Schneider! Has the same kind of cheeky grin, sticks the tip of his tongue out when kicking, BUT his eyes are on the ball for the full drop; could be a keeper.

Josh Kennedy has the most amazing shoulders. that's all I have to say. pick me up off the floor.

haha Jesse White did an awesome "Jizz in my pants" emotion.

Looks to me like the bonding within the group is going beautifully, the smiles, the lean muscle, Jess's new "sleave" tattoo (wonder if it's going to be a full or half sleave) and the new kit all look like we're tough and ready to win.

I particularly like the sound of this:
"Young forward Lewis Johnston has been another impressive early performer.

Like Malceski, the South Australian native has a point to prove after a foot injury ruined almost all of his first AFL season.

An unfortunate choice of words?

?There?s not a huge amount of meetings going on right now but once Roosy comes on board, he?ll really ramp up the game plan stuff.

?From there, training will probably be a bit more stop-start as we really focus in on how we want to play.?

Giant, you may well be right, but unless the club is telling outright lies, I'm really pleased he's over his foot injury. It had me quite worried, they can be so debilitating, even career-ending.

Di, I am sure the HairBear will be thrilled to know that you don't have to worry about him anymore. I assure you that it has relieved me too.

They put some serious work into Lewis Johnstone's upper body while he was off his feet last year.

Looks very capabale of playing senior football this year for an extended period.

Just found out I have to be in Sydney around Aust Day for a wedding. Does anyone know what might be happening training wise around that time, is that too early in the year for internal trial games? Wheredo they usually play them?

I can add a few days in Sydney either side of the wedding as I'd like to catch a game if it's happening.

Thanks

Not usually widely advertised in the media but your best bet would be to phone / email the club and I am sure they would happily let you know closer to the time...when they know!!
