After missing out on the top six by two points last season, co-coaches Nicole Lord and Ashley Hansen have the Swans working over time. "It’s been quite full on," Lord said. "We started our preseason quite early at the end of last year. "We’ve had heaps of girls interested and I think we’re just focusing on our fitness and things that really let us down last year. "We’re just looking to have a really good hit out with everybody and hopefully at least be finals contenders for the season."
