Would be better to have (a round 1 game) at the MCG I reckon.

There are no games at the MCG until round 5 or round 6 due to the Commonwealth games.

As I see it the Flag should be unfurled at the SCG NOT Telstra Stadium, so for my 1st home game (please let it be round 1) Sydney vs Geelong or St Kilda

I agree with the unfurling being at the SCG because it's our home ground. A good idea would be for our first home game to be against an opponent that normally doesn't draw a large crowd so we can squeeze in more Swans fans and converts.

Is the Age's draw likely to be correct or is it just a guess?

It is just a guess, on page 3 of the sports liftout they call it a "predicted draw". Here's the full draw for round 1 as predicted by the Sunday Age:

Thursday March 30: West Coast v St Kilda (Subiaco, night)
Friday March 31: Western Bulldogs v Richmond (Telstra Dome, night)
Saturday April 1: Geelong v Brisbane (Skilled Stadium)
Saturday April 1: Port Adelaide v Kangaroos (AAMI, night)
Saturday April 1: Essendon v Sydney (Telstra Dome, night)
Sunday April 2: Hawthorn v Fremantle (Aurora Stadium)
Sunday April 2: Melbourne v Carlton (Telstra Dome, night)
Monday April 3: Collingwood v Adelaide (Telstra Dome, night)

Would love to see the flag unfurled at the SCG against St Kilda, just to rub it in just a little bit more.

How about against Fremantle? Far from rubbing it in, it would give them a taste of premiership success and may inspire them.

The Grand Final replay should be on Anzac Day, rather than this bollocks about some tradition that excludes pretty much everyone that doesn't support the Pies or Bombers.

We do have an Anzac Weekend tradition... we have played the Demons for the past few years, for the Ron Barassi Cup...
