Yes I watched today as I was in Sydney last night. I did get distracted - partly by LRT who was watching with his father and by a young lady who wanted to know what was going on. As an 80 year old, that was indeed a welcome distraction and I barely picked up anything.
1. Stephens was has reversed any 'hesitancy' of last year and was throwing himself about with effective abandon.
2. Gould was 'guarding space' rather than filling a lockdown defensive role. Of course the Coach instructions were totally unknown, but that role went against what I and others are hoping for him in 2022.
3. Bell is a ferocious tackler and seemed to be in lots of contests - didn't always stick marks that he perhaps should have taken but definitely a player with different skills to others.
4. Haywood was 'up the ground' quite a lot.
But really my report is based on fleeting impressions, but it was not gentle on the oval and a very solid session.
Thanks MM - any snippets are always appreciated - even if your observations were undoubtedly reduced by the presence of Red and White royalty, and a young lady as well
Great to hear Stephens getting stuck in. For some players it just takes time to find that confidence to go flat chat at the top level - both in their bodies ability to handle it, and in the confidence of their own skills.
"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
My guess is that that was it. In the Cox video recently uploaded onto the Swans' site, he describes today's hitout as "the last intraclub". That's a shame as I was planning on wandering down tomorrow, alarm clock permitting. Guess I'll have to find something else to do instead.

Had the day planned also to watch the lads run out a 4qtr intra
Oh well, looks like a pretty good day for a long hike.
Me too. If anyone knows for sure whether it's on or not, please advise.
From the photo gallery of yesterday's session, Florent appears to be over his ankle injury and back in the thick of things.
