I love the draw. Hard run of Port will blow out the cobwebs. Derby will see our physicality tested. Then an easy Carlton to gently have us ready for round 1 against Pies at home.

Are all games broadcast on foxtel this year?

Yes

Finally we get a pre season game back in Melbourne. Just a shame it's a Friday night before the long weekend. Last time I nearly missed the start of the game because of the traffic.

And it starts at 5:50pm so you better head down even earlier!

Yeah did spot that. I believe the last one down here was an early game as well.

The bit in bold stirs my loins.

 

[scaryness]

Want to see Hewett and Robinson have great NAB campaigns.

Make or break year for both of these guys you'd have to think. We really need Hewett's polish to compliment our midfield grunt.

 

[Number37]

Would love to see Mills play every NAB game in preparation for his R1 debut.

 

[RUNVS]

Less than 2 weeks now. What sort of team would you like to see the Swans put out in our game against Port?

I just hope we try something different this year as I am really tired of the Swans slow start to the home and away season. Whatever we have been doing in the NAB Challenge previously has not worked too well.

Exactly.

I would like to basically see the top grade squad reasonably complete go at it in games 1 and 3. Get it right from the start. Obviously work load issues and injury management comes into it but that round 1 4 points is just as important as round 15 or 22.

The nab has always been about getting games into the guys that need it before the season starts and seeing what the kids can do. I dont see this changing and i dont want it too. I wanna see what guys like Naismith, Newman, Hiscox ect have to offer. Especially Newman. Im hoping he pushes for seniors this year. Think he could be the type of rebounding defender that we are lacking.
