What is the Swans Foundation about?

It's basically tasked with finding funding/organisaing donations for the club for non operational activities - ie: Academy, facility upgrades, buying expensive plant equipment you need to rattle a tin can to afford etc. They also support charity work. Wind beneath our wings stuff...

Yep. Tax deductible "donation" thats meant to "help find the next keiren jack"... Thats what Roosey was trying to sell me in the glossy expensive looking yearly swans mag a few years ago anyway.....

gotta say, compared to this time last year, Buddy looks in good nick.Thought he was a little puffy preseason last time.
I reckon he had a lot of stress last off season. From what we have seen out of the snippets of training, the boys look to have been stung by the gf debacle. Rohan moving extremely well, hanners is noticeably trimmer this year, buddy looks slimmer this year and tippett looks like a monster ( plus is training this time of year which is a bonus), macca and jack played extremely well in the ir.

Fair to say we can exoect a hot team out of the gates if the rest of the pre season goes well

Compared to last season we have a much fitter team pre-season. Hopefully we can start strong, get 5-6 with only 1 loss

What, you aren't inspired by the slow-mo and triumphant film score?

You aren't impressed by an abnormally long shot of Longmire staring incredulously at a piece of dirt in front of him that suggests or implies nothing?

You aren't fascinated by the fact the media department just got a new piece of equipment and clearly couldn't help themselves so they decided to shoot a completely meaningless slow-mo piece on a random training session in December?

You over-indulged scoundrel.

I want to overlay that shot of Longmire over the subsequent shot of Goodes' running towards the camera, chest rippling, as a semi-transparent layer.

But i can't be bothered downloading the video.

More interested in the article. Interesting...

"After returning to the club in top shape following the off-season break, Tippett looked strong overhead during the marking drills and moved well throughout the session.

Young defender Sean McLaren was put to the test as Tippett’s opponent late in the session, while ruckman Tom Derickx also took turns battling it out with the key forward."

Edit: do they mean in the ruck drills, or actually as a KPD?

Ruck drills surely? Or perhaps we're reinventing the wheel and going with 200cm outside mids this year? :drunk:

For motivation, Joel Tippett only had to think back to his coach’s end-of-season conversation, or look over his shoulder, at his brother, Kurt, training beside him.
The Swans full-forward was still hurting after the Grand Final thrashing form Hawthorn and was photographed at training last week also in supreme physical condition.

Get some mongrel and start throwing his weight around in 2015 I hope
