Great seeing Cleary, Sheldrick & Warner Jr. in the red with most of the senior players/best 22 incumbents. If nothing else it gives them valuable experience working alongside the team more, should they be in the senior side at some point.

Yeah I wasn't reading much into it, just saying that I think it's good for those kids to get experience actually playing in the same team as some of the seniors, even if it's just in match sims. Gives them a good chance to show how they can fit in and work in the best 22 if the time ever comes. I think it's tough to build depth if every training session is just the young players getting predictably belted because they're all in the 'non-starter' team.

Two things noticeable from the training pictures linked there:Swans tackle the New Year
The Sydney Swans have returned to the track for their first week of training of the new year.www.sydneyswans.com.au
1. Heeney is seemingly training fully, or at least participating in the match sim drills, which is great to see.
2. I can't believe Patrick Snell is going to be an All Australian this year.

There is a lot of emphasis on fitness & aerobic training this pre-season. I think Cox is concerned by our fade out in the second half of the season. By the time we came to finals we were only just limping in. I was concerned in every final. The conditioning seemed to not be there. We were fading out in matches later in the year. Our bad starts were worrying enough without fade outs.
The game against Port Adelaide was a game where our players just didn't start at all. We never got going. Psychological? Maybe but I think it was much more emotional and fitness. I think some of the players were struggling and that game was one that showed it up. The next week we played hard but it wasn't great either from a footy point of view.
The Collingwood game was a hard slog. But the signs had been there all season. Between the wonderful footy, there were gaps and into those gaps some woeful footy was perpetrated. In one quarter earlier in the season against Adelaide we managed to kick the ball 22 times to Crows defenders. We were down on the scoreboard & the second quarter was not looking a whole lot better. Enter Joel. But the Pies game was hard to watch even though we won. I believe Pies were ordinary last season. They had injuries, one game plan and no other way. We should have destroyed them but we struggled. We gave the ball up, managed to turnover the ball on multiple occasions & if they were better they would have destroyed us on turnover but they weren't.
Our ability to hit opposition targets going forward is just atrocious. Yes, we play some of the most exciting footy in the AFL but then we play some of the worst footy too. There doesn't seem any in-between unless we slow the game down and kick wide.
Are our slow starts a fitness thing? Were the fade outs fitness? Were our players playing with bruised muscles? Had we run out of puff by finals time. I mean, GWS definitely had in their games, only getting to 3/4 times before giving the games away through lack of fitness. Port had run it's race by the time we played them & quite frankly, they lacked the talent anyway. We got up for those but in the GF, we simply didn't have anything left.
I think Cox is aware of that and is concentrating on premium fitness and looking at the ability to sustain efforts for longer. This is something that was a problem all year.

I think they meant to say THE NEW, IMPROVEMENT on Chad Warner.

I don't think our problems stem from fitness.
I think our side has the cattle but they don't play them in the right positions. Need more inside.
That is all pretty much that is needed.
We can't be getting to grand finals this many times on luck. The talent is there.
Just unleash Gus.
