Some up and down results from our first full round of football this weekend from the Tigers major upset on Thursday night all the way to the usual hot Gold Coast start before falling away late-season and plenty in between. My Swans are struggling a bit so far on wins and losses (o-2!) but could...

We’re all about to start practice games against actual opposition (36 degrees at Digger’s Rest will be hell on earth for this 46 year old!) where as coaches we’ll be seeing if what we’ve tried to implement with our players over the pre-season, has carried over to games and to what extent.

Looks like I’m back for another year of doing this and to be honest, I can’t watch a game anymore without looking out for this type of stuff. This is from today’s pre-season game between the Swans and Giants in a 2 part video, with a sprinkle of Brisbane on the end of the 2nd...
