    Ah, here is the proof. We must have offered Grundy some work as a physio as part of our recruitment pitch

      Do we know when the pre season game against a rival club is programmed? VFL trial games as well?

      Over here the Crows pre season dates and times are known.

        good to see Grundy clearing out the ear holes of his team mates

        He is a character

        But he he is miles behind Wicks and Jmac when it comes to stirring up the clowns

          Yes there was an article on the Swans app posted in December. We are playing Brisbane:

          Thursday, February 29, 2024
          Blacktown International Sportspark
          4:10pm

          It's a crap day/time.

          Not sure about VFL trial games.

            Swans will also take on the Giants a week prior to their Community Series match with the Lions, taking on their crosstown rival on Thursday, February 22 at Tramway Oval at 10am AEDT.The matchup will be open to the public and free of charge.

              Watched training this morning and noticed a few things:

              1 - Callum did lots of lap running and then joined in on a marking and kicking session. I asked him how it was progressing and if he was pushing his shoulder too hard and he said "no, it feels good".
              2 - The only other not doing all the drills was Cooper V and he said he had a slight niggle in the groin which didn't seem to bother him and it looks like he didn't join in as a precaution.
              3 - Nick B does look a lot bigger
              4 - Corey W looked fit, bigger and fast
              5 - Cleary looks great as does Sheldrick
              6 - Quite a few different drills than observed a few years back. Hand ball game, short kick game and half field 10 - 7 player kicking forward match kinda sims.

              They all looked sharp and like they were having fun.

              Amon B kicked his runner off when kicking the ball and continued using his left foot to kick some big kicks, he is starting to look a little on the Stewie Dew side. Aaahhh, life after footy hey!!!

              Exciting for sure

                  And it’s before me seeing Cat Empire at Taronga Zoo that evening

                  Maybe both can happen?

                      AAP piece on Mills MSN
                      The phrase "Doubts were cast over whether club officials would strip Mills of the captain's armband" has me casting doubt on the journalists credability, but presumably the rest of the article is a feed from the Swans.

                        Credibility, maybe. Clarity of expression, definitely.

                          Hopefully he maybe back early than thought which would be a real positive

                            Article had him 29 years old as well. Fair bit over the odds.

                              Mills is 26 currently, turns 27 early in the season.

                              I'd like to tell you how much he weighs, but pffft, the AFL has decided to keep that secret LOL

                              Been reading a few other clubs BF pre season threads, the AFL needs to expand the final 8, way too many teams to squeeze in there! But of course, this is the time of year for dreaming

                                AFL 2023: Callum Mills injury, shoulder surgery, mad monday accident, fight with teammate, Sydney Swans, miss start of next season

                                So after 4months almost to the day he has just returned to running.

                                Hmmm I’m still leaning closer towards 9months vs 6months for a return to footy

                                2months form now for such a tricky op rehab injury to start playing footy would be a miracle

                                If it does happen that Mills is playing within 6months from injury that is awesome ????
