2024 Pre Season

[707]

Had 30 minutes to kill waiting for a tradie to show up, so had a look through the Swans website player profiles.

Good is that they have (somewhat) updated them, albeit in rough fashion and can't seem to find a photo of the 2023 draftees

Bad is the actual writing. They should not have allowed a poorly skilled primary kid to write them. Some of the sentences read very poorly, almost nonsense, and the use of the paste function has sentences repeated.

Surely this does not match the quality of the rest of the club? If anyone knows someone of authority in the club, reckon a few on here could produce much higher quality profiles - for free!

up to 9months for Mills worst case and fairly often

Best case 6months game ready

Bugger of an injury to heal and knit 100% strong. Chance of re injuring is high.

not unlike an ACL reco where you can jog slowly after 8 weeks generally....... but almost every athlete takes 12month before playing full contact

Let’s hope it’s best case ???? I am more optimistic than you given, how many rugby players have had the same injury and made it back well under 12 mths, but unfortunately worst case is 12 mths and the chance of reinjury is really high and Mills may never be the same player again.

How do the rugby players go on their return, given rugby is a greater 'impact' sport?

I wish I could answer - I will endeavour to find out

Conclusion
Arthroscopic reconstruction of the rotator cuff in overhead athletes is effective for improving function of the shoulder in overhead athletes, with a return to sport in 75.4% of patients within an average of 6.4 months. A total of 62.5% of patients were able to return to sport at pre-injury level.

Thats pretty positive If he was able to get back early April, we would take that as win surely....

Thanks Auntie for finding that and saving me the hassle

God I hope someone is running off HBF this year so The Chad is not getting pinned from behind when he throws off tacklers and comes to a stop.

btw how much does Patch Adams look like Christian Slater

Bit of fun on team photo day ???? - YouTube

[stevoswan]

Deleted....already done.....the short Chad video. Impressive!

James Jordan the most impressive in today's internal trial game.

Got him for free because Dees delisted him temporarily a couple of seasons ago to do something with their list. (To the music of Dire Straits) Grundy for peanuts and James Jordan for free. We may owe the Dees, but let's give them a touch up in opening round anyway.

Feeling buoyant at present

James Jordan the most impressive in today's internal trial game.

Where did you watch them? The occasional training photo galleries published on the Swans' site suggest they are not yet on Lakeside, but there's not enough perspective in the photos to distinguish whether they're at Bat and Ball or somewhere in Centennial Park. It's just evident that they are surrounded by trees.

This contains a link to a story in the Tele, for those with a subscription.

But some highlights - JJ one of the standouts and impressed the other players in match sim, Adams doing the grunt work fantastically, Errol and Chad looking great, Ladhams looking good and Hayden McLean showing strong hands again.

Two other things to note: Heeney spent a lot of time on ball, and coaches are shocked by how impressive Green is already. Apparently already bulking up too. Oh, and a largely healthy list.

I get the reports this time of year are full of hype, but some encouraging stuff in there just the same.
