Franklin isn't even expected to be there and at 35yrs of age he is out there.
I hope Gouldy has a big preseason. Third year now and no excuses
He looks pretty lean.Actually hope he gets a little smaller.
Ffs can we get this guy out of defence.
He doesn’t want to stop goals, he wants to score them.
His last 2 games were out of defence and he looked a lot more relaxed.Ffs can we get this guy out of defence.

reading your training posts- Started with a warmup. Split into 4 groups and ran around a square to 4 stations. Things like stepping over mini hurdles or weaving between poles.
- Kicking back and forth in 3s.
- 3 skill stations. (Quick flat handballs across the body to a player running next to them, kicking drill within defensive 50 and contested marking practice from high long balls.)
- Handball drill. Attacking team tries to handball their way past defensive team in a tight congested space.
- Another handball drill. Cox hurls the ball away, attacking team picks it up and handballs past the defensive team. Maybe simulating a defender picking up a loose ball and using the extra numbers to stay composed and keep possession with handballs.
- Ball movement drill. Attacking team set up with 4 backs 3 mids and 4 forwards vs a few coaches as opposition. Practiced moving the ball upfield with kicks. With a focus on the players upfield creating options by making angled runs into space and the players behind making supporting runs from deep.
- Ball movement/rebound drill. Ball starts from a kick in at the goal square. Work the ball upfield for a little bit with a few kicks, then kick it long to a ruckman on halfway who knocks it down. Then the team quickly attacks in the opposite direction. Maybe this simulates quickly attacking from a turnover.
- Did a 3min run around the boundary about 2 laps. Brief rest then run a few shuttles back and forth. Then a few players did another 3min run around the boundary. McAndrew did some 1 on 1 ruck work with Cox whilst this was happening.
Head of Athletic Performance Rob Inness has lauded the intensity of the Swans opening training sessions of the 2022 pre-season as the first-four year players focus on building a strong fitness base heading into the Christmas break.

PLAYERCARDEND
Had day off work so had a look at training. Started around 9am and finished around 1030am.
I think there was about 18 players in the main group. I think Parker Papley, Hickey, Cunningham, COR, Melican, Florent, Hayward, Rowbottom, Ronke, Sheather, Campbell, McAndrew, Stephens, Wicks, Mcinerney, Gould and maybe Gulden.
McLean, McCartin, Amartey, Clarke and Blakey were doing lighter stuff to the side. Blakey was doing a lot of straight line running, kicking the ball back and forth and taking a few marks on the run.
Naismith with his dog came by to watch the session from the boundary. I think I saw P. McCartin as well on the boundary.
Thanks for the updates SeanM
Did you happen to notice which of the coaches was overseeing the various drills?
