Craig Bird: A no-fuss player that simply gets the job done, he returned from his break in good condition, he can do an effective job on opposition players and is expected to spend more time in the midfield this year.

Harry Cunningham: The club is rapt with Cunningham's pre-season, putting him right near the top with his attitude and work rate. If his current rate continues, a regular spot in the side seemingly awaits.

Tom Derickx: Brought into the side from Richmond as cover for the loss of Shane Mumford, he has integrated into his new surroundings well and shown some promising signs.

Dan Hannebery: A notoriously hard worker that is driven to improve, the 2013 All Australian is aiming to add some more variety to his already impressive game this coming year.

George Hewett: Requiring knee surgery shortly after arriving at the club via the 2013 NAB AFL Draft, he is only now working on his fitness and starting to take part in some skill work.

Kieren Jack: Considered the club's No.1 trainer, the co-captain continues to lead by example to the Swans' young list and his signs over the pre-season all point to another strong year ahead.

Lewis Jetta: Such a critical member of the line-up when fully fit, Jetta's pre-season was interrupted by a minor knee procedure, but he took part in the latter stages of this week's intra-club match and should be about right for round one.

Zak Jones: Eager to learn, Jones has already impressed the coaching staff with his attitude and dedication. His main task at the moment is getting up to speedwith the Swans' game plan and structures.

Josh Kennedy: Following a solid breather after an arduous 2013, Kennedy has returned in terrific shape and could be ready to take his already super consistent game to another level.

Jake Lloyd: An improved runner over the pre-season, the youngster has been taskedwith focusing on his defensive transition in an effort to keep progressing at senior level.

Harry Marsh: Quite simply one of the club's best performers throughout the pre-season. Returning from the break in excellent shape, he has the required fitness levels to start having a clear impact on games and push for senior selection.

Ben McGlynn: A number of his teammates have expressed their admiration at the amount of work McGlynn has put in during pre-season. Training predominantly as a midfielder, there are high hopes for him in 2014.

Jarrad McVeigh: Whether it's through his outstanding leadership or his versatility, able to play virtually anywhere across the ground, McVeigh is one of the most important players at the club.

Patrick Mitchell: The American was signed as an international rookie in August 2013 and has been training with the rest of the club's ruckman as the former basketballer slowly learns his new craft.

Tom Mitchell: Requiring ankle surgery at the end of last season, the rising star's rehab has progressed well, to the point that he showed few ill effects in the Swans' intra-club match this week.

Sam Naismith: Still growing, taking his frame to around 205cm, the ruck project hasenjoyed an impressive pre-season after some injuries ruined his first year on the Swans' list.

Toby Nankervis: For a teenage ruck prospect, Nankervis has impressed everyone during his first pre-season at the club. With good skills and an ability to get forward, he kicked three goals in this week's intra-club hit-out.

Ryan O’Keefe: Another Swan that suffered from such a heavy workload last season, he is refreshed heading into his 15th season and has talked confidently about theamount of footy he feels is still left in his 33-year-old body.

Luke Parker: The tough young midfielder has shown noticeable improvement each year on the Swans' list and his efforts during the pre-season indicate there is no reason that won't again be the case this year.

Lloyd Perris: Another player that needs to continue working on the Swans' system and structures, the strong runner needs to convert an excellent pre-season intoperformances on match day.

Mike Pyke: Limited during pre-season by a knee complaint, he has been building his fitness towards round one. With Shane Mumford heading across town to GWS, Pyke is undoubtedly the Swans' No.1 ruckman and vitally important to the cause this year.

Dan Robinson: It has been a good pre-season so far for the former NSW scholarship holder, impressing the coaches with his approach and running ability. With increased aerobic capacity, the club is keen to see him improve his spread from stoppages.
