Cant wait to see some footy again. Its particularly exciting that our best 22 is the least predictable for a couple of decades I reckon due to the strong competition for spots. We could be a top 4 side this year.

No certainty for round one: Achilles issue STILL troubling gun Swan
Callum Mills remains in doubt for round one as he battles an Achilles problem

In better news Florent & Rowbottom are a week or two (max) from returning to training.

Did I hear there’s an intra club tomorrow? Anyone know when/where? My dog and I might head over.

Is AFLX a thing. I have not heard a word about it for a few years?
Both teams, us and the Giants, had low numbers going into this week – we only have 26 players and four taking part in AFLX, so it would have been challenging to field competitive teams for an intra-club match,” Longmire said.

Only thing I can find is one last Thursday.
Next game I'm aware of is the practice match in Albury tomorrow week.

Florent played in the intraclub yesterday according to the gallery on the Swans site, which is a good sign for his fitness.
Other observations (based purely from photographs):
- Campbell looked to be on Papley, presumably as a small defender.
- Paddy looked to be playing on Buddy in one of the photos, presumably as a key defender.
- Rankin's hair is still the most majestic thing I have ever seen.

Appears like it happened yesterday not today.
I've caught a few sessions and was struck by some of the positional changes being tried. One is JPK at half-back. I thought they might've just plonked him there to try some new things in the middle. But it could be part of a bigger move. Horse has form putting big-bodied mids back (Mills, Hewett). And it makes sense having a general to lead a pretty inexperienced group of Blakey, McInerney and Campbell, help win some contested ball then dish off to use their speed and kicking. Might be something to watch out for at the game in Albury.

Don’t like the move of Campbell to the BP
Interesting! With Heppell having moved to half back, Ziebell to BP and talk of Fyfe spending time there there might be something in that. Not as a permanent thing but as a rotation. Could certainly Shift JMac forward at the same time.
Don't think JPK has either the pace or agility for a permanent move but....
He has a good boot on him so maybe they are thinking of a Lloyd role?

Under pressure long bombs from deep in back pocket you will see more of imo
Needs to be on the outside imo
I get the feeling they are experimenting and (I hope) skill-building. I note in one photo that Paps was telling Braeden something, looking suspiciously like coaching.
I've seen suggested by another poster that Rankin looks a good candidate for Lloyd's role. TBH I'm more worried about replacing Harry. There are more candidates for Lloyd's spot IMO.
They're about the same age so will probably finish about the same time. Both are very durable so I'm guessing Ramps might run out of gas first.

Part of me kinda hopes that we're just trying to teach Campbell some defensive skills so he can play off half back (how that's going to happen when we already have too many flankers, I have no idea...) And that we're not doing to him what we did to Lloyd by basically subjecting him to the back pocket.
I think I'd honestly prefer if we just developed Campbell as a mid/wing where he has the best chance at getting games. He is possibly the fastest and most skilled player in the team when he plays, so I'm not sure he needs to add a defensive side tbh.

Horse sometimes throws plays in defence to teach them how to defend so that they can be better defensively in other parts of the ground, Hayward in 2020 probably the best example
Yes. Hayward played a monster game on Nick Haynes not long after which had a big impact.
