- Firstly did a warmup and stretches as a group.
- Split into three groups to do some agility drills. Things like moving side to side. high knees, those little hurdles etc. The coaches in charge of each group had their own preferred exercises.
- There were a few players who seemed to be at an earlier stage of preseason and were not doing the agility exercises. They were handballing among each themselves and throwing a medicine ball around. It seemed to be Amartey, Mclean, E. Taylor, Thurlow, Reynolds, Heeney and Reid. Later I saw them all run laps around the oval intermittently.
- Split into three groups to do the run around the oval. I am guessing a lot of players would have run within themselves given it was first day back. In the first group Stephens, Knoll and Fox were ahead of everyone else. Then players like Dawson, Cunningham, Foot, Mills and Clarke in a bunch behind them. For the second group COR, Ronke and Warner were at the front. For the third group Sinclair, Gray, Maibaum and Gould were at the front.
- Four skills drills with groups rotating around to each station; Picking up a ground ball. A short switch kick to a player running onto it. Marking a high ball. short flat kicks in a square direction.
- A drill with 7 attackers vs 3 defenders trying to keep possession. Though the attacking team had to kick the ball within 3 seconds.
- A drill where 3 attackers would handball and keep possession against 2 defenders. Then after a while the coach would blow a whistle and they could kick the ball to a 2 vs 1 contest upfield.
- A drill where they worked the ball upfield through diagonal kicks to leading players
- Briefly a few set shots at goal
- Might have been 12 attackers vs 10 defenders. The attacking team tried to move the ball upfield from a kick in.
- A drill where they work it upfield from a kick in. A player kicks the ball from the goal square to the back pocket. Who kicks a diagonal ball inside to a player who handballs to a running player. Who kicks it upfield to a leading player.
- Broke up into small groups. A group of defenders was doing marking practice from a high kick. A group where Sinclair was jumping against a bag and tapping it down to midfielders. A group just kicking the ball in a square direction. A group practicing their hands and reflexes where a coach would be throwing or kicking the ball at them from short range.
- As mentioned by goods78. Hayward was sitting on the boundary resting his ankle. And saw a few players walking off a bit sore after the first session of the year. The new draftees seemed to have a slightly lower workload and finished a bit earlier. Though Warner stayed behind the goal to box with someone. At the start Franklin was there with a sports bandage around his knee but just watched.Last edited by SeanM; 10 January 2020, 12:33 PM.Comment

A little concernng about Alir? Fox is playing for his career this season so trying to train the house down. Thanks for the training updates gang. It would seem that the Naismith rumours were incorrect then?

According to the Swans social media Dawson came in 3rd ahead of Knoll. The placings were Stephens, Fox, JD, Knoll, Cunningham.Comment

Crikey, sounds like we've gone from healthiest list ever to a pack of invalids.He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.Comment

So apparently this is the fittest we have collectively been for a while given our non finals appearance in 2019? Hate to think how collectively busted we would've been in years gone by................Comment

Knoll. He seemed to take longer to recover. He was near the boundary talking to one of the staff. Someone walked past and congratulated him on his run. He seemed to joke that he probably ran it too hard. He may have sat out the next drill but saw him participate later on.Comment

I think it means those that aren’t injured are athletically fitter than they have been in the past, rather than less injured players

That’s pretty impressive from Knoll. Wasn’t he far from the fittest when we recruited him?
I bet he can get off the ground when he jumps now too?Comment

Great reports! Thank you. ????All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)

Great effort by Stephens - no question on his ability to at least run out a game. Knoll did very well. Not sure if he can make it but at least he is having a fair dinkum go. Ditto Fox.Comment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted.
