Well we’re well and truly into Preseason 2013 with only a few weeks to go before we start our Metro Season in May. Numbers so far have been very encouraging with many new faces as well as a few of the older ones coming back to see what’s left in their tanks.
The less than fabulous Chicago Spring weather may have slightly dampened the field at Waveland but it certainly hasn’t done the same to the enthusiasm shown by the Swans on the track. We’ve been able to take advantage of the open ground to work on full ground ball exercises while adding to our base fitness in this early stage of the season.
A couple of big “Atta boys” to Pony Boy on his recent Revolution selection and also to Super Dave Grzesiak on his most impressive results at the AFL Combine in LA this week. We congratulate you both on your fantastic achievements.
If you haven’t signed up for Metro please contact Metro Comish’ Brian Hoyt (vp@chicagofooty.com) – hopefully he’ll check his email – and let him know you’re in. Not long to go with May 3rd as the kick-off round for 2013. This is when the real fun starts.
Also Saturday, April 27th the Chicago Swans will be hosting an ANZAC Day celebration at Bar Forza. A replay of the Swans vs St Kilda match played in New Zealand will be televised…and possibly the Pies victory over the Bombers if time permits. For the drinkers.. $38 gets you all the draft beer, Oxford Landing Estates wine and well drinks you can handle from 9pm to midnight. $4 Cooper’s all night is also up for grabs.
If you haven’t already join us on Facebook and Twitter for all the latest news and updates. If you think you might want to join us for a kick come on down and see what it’s all about.
We’ve only just started…but already 2013 looks to be a huge year as we begin our journey to Austin in October.
Cheer, cheer the Red and the White.
