A Jack & McVeigh reunion would be good to see, not gonna lie.

Losing 4-5kgs in an arvo; ’gruelling’ pre-Christmas run: AFL skippers reveal hardest pre-seasons

‘Took 3 weeks to get over’: Losing 5kgs in an arvo; ’gruelling’ 90min run - stars reveal hardest sessions

Callum Mills (Sydney Swans)

“Coffs Harbour was a pretty tough one. I was out there for a bit of it, not all of it.

“I think the humidity out there, it was right at the peak of our pre-season load and that was right up there.

“It was over 30 degrees and it was a big session of match play and training. There was not anyone (throwing up) or anything like that. But there was a lot of tired bodies.

“We had a couple of guys losing four to five kilograms, to put that into perspective.”

Beginning to sound like whinging poms complaining about the heat!

Don't mind Zurhaar. Fun to watch

Bit different to what we have, bit versatile

Good choice

Yeah I love that we have a team of good guys but we haven't had any mongrel since Mumford left

Ladhams, Adams and Zuurhar would be a good trio to have flying the flag.

 

[caesar88]

He's a flog but he'd be an upgrade on Hayward.

Buddy Count = 1

 

[BloodySwan]

Good pickup, solid age bracket, but I feel like we're regularly just the "Swans have cash and are after player x"

New drinking game - every story that doesn't mention Buddy, take a swig

Swans media team has really lifted its game this pre-season, credit to Codesports/Newscorp for the Lachlan McKirdy coverage, but I noticed last's night's report of our game was written by the AFL's Brisbane reporter (Michael Whiting).

Incredible that there is still no dedicated AFL.com.au NSW based reporter to cover GWS & ourselves.

Andrew Dillon's view (from May 2023); “I see New South Wales as a massive opportunity for the AFL, and I think we’ll continue to invest up there.”

A NSW based reporter would be a worthwhile investment I would have thought.

 

[tombomb]

Ironic that we are new North Melbourne, that managers leak to the media about interest to bump up their contract.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Surely this is Ticky009’s cue to open the 2024 Trade & Draft Hypotheticals thread.

Bullshite , we want Lakey

Am a big fan of McKirdy and his reporting, his articles have been better then most.

The worst reporting comes from the Daily Telegraph. It's so blatantly anti-AFL I get a headache just looking at the pages.

No wonder we are cooked during the season.

Oh I don't doubt it. It's part of the reason why our coverage in Sydney by the NSW papers is so awful. While other states have their media stand up for them in NSW we get nothing. Not a whistle.

Mongrel Punt locked review added to Todays Media post

Media - Swans Talk in the Media 2024

Because membership numbers have never been intrinsically linked to how many people actually attend games? You can get non-attendance memberships, 3- and 5- game memberships, pet memberships etc. etc. They all count. That is true and I feel they are ridiculous. In fact, as well as being a Swans...
