I wonder whether the huge Covid outbreak in Sydney at present will impact on pre-season training approach and location? The players from WA in particular may be reluctant to arrive in Sydney this week?

I think that this week will be better than in 3 weeks time to arrive in Sydney and get in a covid19 bubble
All trend lines are for more people to experience covid19 around the world
It will be a very strange season this year with omicron being so transferable
The biggest worry I think will be the fact the younger interstate boys might feel like they will need the safety of there families if this latest strain completely takes over like it is threatening to do.
Your latter observation re Heeney is the correct one. He’s so damn smooth. His first step or two mightn’t be quick, but watch him gather speed over 10m. He really powers away from a contest and part of that is due to his poise.Originally Posted by Bangalore Swans
It’s the same as watching him when the ball is in play up on a wing, and then he heads back into the F50 to be a marking target. He has a real surge on him.
The other thing Heeney has that’s unique is his balance. There are times 99 percent of players would lose their feet and go to ground from contact. Heeney just rolls on and knocks out a 40m pass on his non- preferred.
Rodney Eade once wonderfully described Adam Goodes as moving like a ball. Heeney is similar.
'Delicious' is a fun word to say
Mills, McInerney and Heeney all seem to have good acceleration but hit their top speed fairly quickly ue after 20m
But for me the Parker, Kennedy, Heeney and Mills rotation hunting from the middle could be an extremely formidable combo with a few our transition mids around them
Pretty exciting actually
Any news on training recommencing?
Anyone venturing to watch and report back?
You’d need to know where they are training to go and watch.
Do I detect a touch of frustration with the club's media section Liz?
The way this wave of Covid is raging, one has to wonder how the season will pan out. Can't believe President McGowan is talking about opening the WA borders in February when they are basically enjoying a Covid free existence in Westralia by keeping them shut.
No. The club, as a rule, doesn't seem to actively encourage people to go and watch training, and I don't have a particular view on that. It was just an observation that they don't have access to their normal training facilities this week.
I really don’t know how the 2022 season is going to go.
I go to the SCG to watch the test match today. Upon exiting the venue, I walk past the Swans SCG Gym.
The lights are off and there is no one in there. I was hoping to see some young player in there by himself training Ronnie Colman style.
Some young guy doing extras, and dedicating himself to knocking off one of the older players.
I see none of that.
Where is the desire? Whom is going to use that gym when no one is watching.
I don’t think I’m over reacting here.
So now all of a sudden, the young Swans are complacent and have no desire? You're definitely overreacting.
