Luke Parker - Thursday February 16 (SEN SportsDay with Gerard Healy) - Swans on the air

Sydney Swans co-captain Luke Parker joins SEN SportsDay with Gerard Healy to chat about pre-season, promising forwards and what the Swans have been working on ahead of their 2023 campaign

omny.fm

Name checks Amartey as a potential fwd option along with Logan.

Couldn't stop Geelong's momentum in the GF with a lot of young players.
Players & coaching staff discussed the GF and the lead up to the game. Referenced Geelong's 83 pt loss in the PF 2021. Moved on.

Never really considered leaving prior to signing last contract (amid Essendon talk).

Confirmed Blakey back on training track, likely to play in pre-season game v Brisbane.

Counter-attacking is the way the game is going, rebounding from defence/turnovers with quick transition.

BRISBANE V SYDNEY – MATCH SIM REVIEW​

HB MEYERS·FEBRUARY 25, 2023
AFL SEASON 2023
A powerful run of five straight goal in the third term gave the Brisbane Lions enough separation to score a win in their match sim over the Swans, but it was the way the Lions were able to squeeze their opposition and deny them the corridor that will please most Lions fans.
Though many consider these games to be meaningless, there were plenty of take aways for both sides as they tried a few different lineups and had some interesting debuts to keep an eye on.
As always, The Mongrel covers the ins, outs, and points of interest.

Key Quotes: John Longmire, three weeks to go to Round 1

Sydney Swans head coach John Longmire spoke on radio ahead of the final pre-season match up against Carlton

www.sydneyswans.com.au

report on RSN interview with Longmire.

On Buddy;

Sydney coach John Longmire has told fans they will have to be patient with Lance Franklin, who he says will take some time to build into the AFL season.

“It wouldn’t be too much of a surprise to say we don’t expect him to play every week, every minute of the game … at 36, it can be a real challenge to do that,” Longmire told RSN’s Breakfast with Harf program.
“He’s had a bit of a restricted pre-season – he only played a half last week.
“He hasn’t been going at full power through the pre-season, so the plan is to build him up again this week, and it will take a few weeks for him to hit his stride.”

Talks up Campbell's and McAndrew's prospects

Young halfback Braeden Campbell, who was the medi-sub in the grand final, and 209cm rugby union convert Lachlan McAndrew were named as two players Longmire could see breaking into the senior side in the early stages of the season.

“I’d like to see the continued development of Braeden Campbell. We think that he’s played a bit of footy for us now but we’ve seen bits and pieces of him, and we’re really looking forward to him coming on,” Longmire said.

“We expect with Tom Hickey

succumbed to an adductor injury in the preliminary final against Collingwood, the Swans' season pretty much came to a standstill. Sydney not only watched a seemingly unassailable lead whittle down to one point, but the next week the club – which mistakenly played an underdone Reid – was utterly humiliated. Reid may be 31 and prone to injury, but when he is fit he provides so much structure to Sydney's forward line. At the other end of the ground, defender Tom McCartin is equally as important. He's only just turned 23 and week in, week out plays on the best opposition forward, allowing his brother Paddy to float across packs.
