The Sydney Swans' one-to-four-year players began their pre-season program on Monday with a gruelling three kilometre time trial in wet and windy conditions at Centennial Park.

In pouring rain on a muddy track, Dane Rampe and rookie Lloyd Perris performed best in the time trial, with first-year player Perris leading for the first 1500 metres before Rampe stormed home in the final lap to post the best time of the day.

Dean Towers, Harry Cunningham and Jordan Lockyer closed out the top five, while Harrison Marsh was one of the big improvers, finishing just behind the leading group.

Senior players Sam Reid, Gary Rohan, Alex Johnson, Tom Mitchell and Tommy Walsh were all at Monday's session, but did not take part in the time trial.

Rohan and Reid ran their individual programs, including short sprints, while Johnson, Mitchell and Walsh trained lightly and completed a touch session.

International rookie Patrick Mitchell and recent recruit Jeremy Laidler were also at Monday's session and ran laps and did some minor skill work together.

Rampe is a surprise to me but not Perris.

Also don't know if you know tabs but Rampe was given Jude Bolton's old 24 today.

Jetta did take part though, you can see in the thumbnail of the video (http://www.sydneyswans.com.au/video/2013-11-18/swanstv-preseason-day-1)

Jetta is more of a burst runner though or maybe he he's still injured, who knows

If Richards/Grundy went down he might get a run, otherwise he is going to find it tough in the short term...
