2024 Pre Season

Gallery: Training (Under one month to Opening Night)

strangely only just noticed this update of training

[Auntie.Gerald]

Loving see Greeny up front

The guy is a special and has a few years until serious option for ruck................ie only 18yrs old.....skinny and behind Grundy and Ladhams etc

But he could be an interesting Forward in the interim?

Either way honing his forward skills and ruck skills now is a scary future player for the Swans !!!

Given we are technically in the pre season

Is it time to have Kennedy and Bud taken down from the banner on this website as the players that represent the current Swans?

Time to have a vote on two new players?

A vote?

should be interesting lol

Shall I dare to kick start two names?

Mills and Gulden ?

I recall suggesting a rotating banner with a few different players. This was some time ago, maybe even in 2022.

My recollection is that Danzar replied along the lines of m, if someone wanted to do the work to update the banner, they were welcome to do so (for his review). That is, I got the vibe that it wasn’t high on his list of priorities at that time.

If anyone is good at graphics, maybe they can mock up some banners for his consideration?

As for who should be on the banner, I nominate Rowie in honour of TheBloods .

Seriously though, he reminds me of Brett Kirk who was one of my favourite players, and his efforts do resonate with the Bloods’ culture.

He is also very recognisable as there are only a handful of players with the longer hair and headband.

I also think any of Mills, Heeney, Papley, Warner, Gulden and Blakey would be great (who says we can only have two players?).

Yes, Mills and Gulden. Exactly what I thought as soon as I read 'time to have a vote on two new players'.

Current captain and future captain. Spot on.

No argument from me!

I note also that the current banner uses the 1997-2020 logo; the current logo has the larger swan and no Opera House.

Why only two? Three players can fit comfortably on a banner and it's possible to squeeze in as many as five.

[Maltopia]

And why only players from the men’s team?

But they've cleverly and cheekily snuck in a sort of Opera House outline on the back of the swans head on the new logo.

Auntie I'm pretty certain that we're trialing against GWS on Thursday and Brisbane the following official practice match out at Blacktown

Any RWO'ers going to the trial game against GWS 10am this Thursday? Be interesting to see which fringe players get a solid work out and may be in the senior frame going forward. Also centre square combinations

Always need an honest appraisal by an RWO'er or two of what happens, rather than the normal media takes. I assume there will be a segue into a reserves hit out as well?
