During some down time at the club this week, Jed 'Chops' Lamb roved around Swans HQ with a mic and a pop quiz for some of his fellow players.

There was a Tiger or two amongst the ponies at the inaugural ‘Jeep Portsea Polo’ on Saturday, with a selection of Richmond’s finest in attendance to soak up the atmosphere of the ‘Jeep Grill’ marquee.

A self-professed drop in form saw Swans small forward Ben McGlynn push into the midfield towards the latter stages of last season.

Steven May says he is happy to play at both ends of the grounds in 2012.

Unlike most of his fellow draftees who have hit the track running since arriving at the Brisbane Lions, Phillip Island product Sam Docherty has spent most of his first AFL pre-season working diligently on the sidelines.

On the first day of the their Induction Camp in Melbourne, the new Brisbane Lions recruits were joined by senior team-mate Brent Staker, who was invited by the AFLPA to present on the challenges associated with injuries.

Young gun Luke Parker says he is enjoying his first full pre-season with the Swans

One of the most encouraging aspects of West Coast's 2012 preparations has been the form of young midfielder Koby Stevens, with the 20-year-old finally enjoying what is effectively his first AFL pre-season.

After an injury-free pre-season to date, Steven Motlop's confidence is high as he eyes the Cats' NAB Cup opener in six weeks' time to prove he has what it takes to be a consistent player at the highest level.
