Swans' Pre-season 2019

All very interesting. As I noted, Tom does have a good tank and if the club were minded they could focus on building this rather than his bulk. However, I agree the idea of playing him in the midfield is novel and not one I had considered before. Probably because it is not likely to happen. But an interesting idea just the same.

I'm not surprised that none of Buddy, Menzel or Naismith fit for round 1. So we might see Sinclair, Reid and McCartin. Maybe even Blakey! Will be a super young and inexperienced forward line if Buddy and Menzel are missing too.

Does anyone know what time they usually train? And if there will be another match simulation on Friday?

Might mean we need to think about keeping/getting some experience in there, probably Jack, maybe Parker. Maybe even Macca? Although this will Hayward/Florent/Ronke/Papley's 3rd/4th/2nd season - so not total newbies.

Not sure of exact training times but roughly from about 8.30 for a couple of hours. They might be practising at Henson instead of Bat & Ball this week.

and James Rose finally grows up and gets his finger out!

Too much talent to be a failure, hopefully he really is putting everything into making it, would be a handy addition up forward.

Any RWO'ers see the match simulation today at Henson?

[stevoswan]

I see afl.com.au believe it has all the answers to our 'positional conundrums' here.....

Coach head-scratchers: We solve your position puzzlers - AFL.com.au where they discuss Mills, Papley and Reid.

On Callum Mills....."Verdict: He's too good to move from the backline."

Errr, he's to good not to be in the midfield.....

I see a certain Conan O'Brien was training with the squad today. Tall, lanky, with a fiery mop of red hair, is he our latest Irish recruit?

[ScottH]

Who is Conan O'Brien?

Who is Conan O'Brien?

He's a comedian I reckon?

[ugg]

Yes he's a comedian / late-night TV host. I might have jumped the gun a little by assuming that everyone knows who the hell he is.

Introducing @ConanOBrien to our game and sharing a lot of laughs along the way. Thanks for the visit Conan! #ProudlySydney pic.twitter.com/9Nwck8b3cm

A DH from the US. Tonight show host....whose face has been stretched and stitched almost more than Michael Jackson.

LOL. Should have guessed.
Never heard of him.
