It's called the MacGyver technique
having said that I am really looking forward to seeing Micky O playing at Mac Uni this season
I had a bit of a look for an hour this morning. Had to leave early (Shield game at SCG and parking guys were brutal.)
As far as injuries go..Heath and Mal sat on sidelines observing and not looking too happy. Craig B also on sidelines..didn't see him running and he seems to be in the same condition as he was months ago..I have little optimism for a 2011 start.
Bradshaw in handball drills with injured guys, incl Kenneally. He (Braddles) was changing into kicking shoes when I left so may have been going to have a few. Tiger semed very comfortable on his feet and was moving well..no apparent problem, but handball only.
LRT took part in a short match play and , while I didnt think he attacked the ball with his normal ferocity, I was pleased to see him out there amongst it again. Looking good.
Lewis Johnston had a good session. He kicked out a few times, in fact kicking to himself, and then a longish kick to the 50. I was a bit surprised he is not in the Coffs list. Maybe the fact that Sam Reid dominated the MP made a difference to the selectors' thoughts
Forget the injury to Rohan..he looked terrific! They did short sprint reps for a while, only once did he really let go and he FLEW! Big things from him this season.
Adam looks the Goodes..he's just head and shoulders above them.
Bird finds the ball and a target. He's in my 22.
Good to see ROK has all his old pace back..showed it today a few times..a different man to the 2nd part of last year.
Rucks were not used in match practice..I assume they worked separately with the ruck coaches later..I did notice Currie present a few times for pack marks.
Hanners and Jack hot to trot..both looked good.
A few sloppy hands today..Jetta a couple of times dropped what he should have taken.
Mummy and Seaby and Pike all did good things around the ground..nice problems for the selectors.
Nick Smith also had a good day..he finds the ball well.
Some of the newer guys did ok..sadly the numbers didnt always correspond, and it made it hard to identify them accurately.
I have to say that McCaiguie is looking more and more at home with the sherrin and the concept of aussie rules..It would not surprise me to see him tried later in the season..Big improvement on last year..We''ll see.
These are my own impressions..take them at face value.
Exactly.
Surely between one of them we have a decent KPP.
Thanks Royboy42...you are quite often on the money

I haven't seen Chris play a game of football, but I wonder why he wasn't given a game during the pre-season.
Is he that far off playing senior football?
Probably more important for the start of the season to get plenty of game time into the new running backs like Everitt and Sumner, guys who need to quickly gel with the established backs. I think both of these guys are likey for R1. Sumner is magic in traffic.
Injury update:
Tadgh and LRT likely to play in the Reserves this week.
Moore's ankle to be tested.
TDL will miss at least two weeks with sore ankle. I didn't know he was injured.
Spangher back to training next week.
Braddie "still unclear" -- no change there.
Kennelly set for reserves return - Official AFL Website of the Sydney Swans Football Club
The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible news
His ankle is the reason TDL was removed from the original extended squad for Rd1.
i just want bradshaw on the park the others i can live with, just give us a fit bradshaw for the rest of the season
Theres not much left to say
On the AFL website tonight April 5 it shows:

Campbell Heath (knee) - 3-4 weeks
Nick Malceski (knee) - 7-9 weeks

In memory of my little Staffy - Dicey, 17.06.2005 to 1.12.2011- I'll miss you mate.
Slowly dwindling. should have close to a full squad, barring Bradshaw, and Mal, by the Bye. Then face Carlton with a really strong team.
