Keiran Jack is back. So is Mal, I think.

Kizza looked great.

Great to hear!!
I hope he has those ankles taped firmly.
Look out Judd/Swan etc!!

Kizza looked great.

Morton did some nice things.

So annoyed that Tommy Walsh didn't play!! What was up with that?

Was Tommy Mitchell 28 for Red? I was trying to find him but I get confused with all these new boys...

Walsh was running laps but will be playing next week, according to the Swans Twitter feed.

Righto.

Good captaincy from Macca too, yelling encouragement for Tommy even though he was just running laps.

I managed to take an hour off this morning.

Agree on Kieren Jack, he won a heap of ball.

Great smother by Teddy on him though on this occasion:

Thanks to those who are our 'eyes and ears' today. Can anybody provide a bit of a rundown on who did what today, please?

Thanks for the teasers from this morning's intra. Great to hear KJ shone, hoping for a repeat or even improvement on 2010 from him and that would be a bonus.

I trust some of the hardened watchers will provide a full unbiased report on proceedings. I'll go and mow the lawns whilst you pen your reports!

Quick thoughts

Firstly I hate watching from this ground as there is no elevation and it's hard to make out play far away. It didn't help that there multiple 19 and 22 jumpers in the yellow team
McGlynn was very good running through the midfield
Goodes is looking supremely fit, started forward but rotated on ball as well
Reid has added bulk and took some nice grabs although Teddy played well on him too

The forward line for the yellows looked to be Goodes, Reid, Rohan and Morton and one suspects this will be the setup. How Walsh fits into this I'm not sure
Mummy rucked for the whole of the first half against Pyke and seaby. Seaby swapped teams in the second half to Ruck against pyke
Aj holding down a key position and did some nice stuff under pressure
Jesse has a new leg tatt I've been told its of a skull and flowers ?!
Lockyer was on a wing against everitt. They see him as a running player
Mal did some nice things but also some poor things
McNeil played a heap onball even opposed goodes on some occasions

McGlynn was very good running through the midfield
Goodes is looking supremely fit, started forward but rotated on ball as well

McGlynn + Goodesy both looked superb.

Wouldn't be surprised if AJ is in the leadership group in a year or so, was barking out instructions pretty confidently today.

Anyone notice Cunningham at all ?

Fair number of players were "missing" - some not completely missing as they were seen running laps at various degrees of intensity. Those not taking part included
ROK
Spangher
TDL
LRT
Hanners
Lynch
Walsh
Armstrong
Mitchell
Brown
Kruger

The standouts for me were McVeigh and McGlynn. Bird started very well but was less involved as the game went on. Jack started quietly but really came into it during the second and third "thirds". Malceski was also very busy (and I didn't see too much of the "bad" stuff that Ugg referred to). And Moore got very involved too, around the half-forward line, with his excellent footy brain on show. Reid's marking was as graceful as last year but his goal conversion was, unfortunately, also similar to what we have come to expect.

Thanks for the reports and pix. I was hoping we'd get a glimpse of Armstrong.

Any sign of Lamb?

Liz I saw TDL in a couple of photos. So he was out there but no-one seems to noticed.
