    LANCE Franklin will start pre-season training with the Sydney Swans two weeks ahead of schedule to establish himself with the club's young players.

    The superstar forward, who was put on notice by new teammate Adam Goodes this week, will train briefly with the Swans' first to fourth-year players before taking a short break and returning with the senior group on December 2.

    Probably wasn't keen on the 3k time trial.

    I wonder what their definition of a fourth year player is? I'd have thought Jets, Gazza and Sam were 5th year players??

    Probably due to their lack of game time this year.
    Still a bit of catching up to do.

    Good to see Tommy Walsh out on the track too.

    I guess the Franklin article should have specified that he may hang around for a light kick-to-kick session and then maybe some autographs afterwards, rather than actual training and conditioning. If I was Buddy I would have run the trial, silence the critics. I am not a critic, just someone who thinks he needs to show some substance at some point soon for everyone to be A-OK cool with everything.

    none of us know for sure if buddy was there or not ie there was a fair few players not running but watching on todau

    i disagree

    his football for 9 years has demonstrated a forward with substantial substance

    Impressive performance from young Perris to push Rampe all the way. As the youngest player out there (I assume no senior Academy players), it shows how hard he must have worked last year to regain his fitness after missing 2012 with a knee reco.

    I predict he'll star in the NEAFL this year and make it impossible not to get picked to play senior footy as soon as someone gets injured. Indeed, with Tom Mitchell facing a restricted pre-season as he recovers from his ankle injury, there may even be a spot early in the year, and I can see Perris playing a similar role to that which Tom filled in his 2013 senior appearances (even though long term, they'll probably turn out to be slightly different kinds of player).

    Technically Franklin shouldn't be training until the senior guys start training. No need to make a big deal out of this.
