    Premiers should commence the defence of their title at home.

    Yeah yeah. Home game round 1 in 2006 please!

    I'm coming back to Australia for 2 weeks next year, timed for round 1 - will fly wherever the Swannies are playing and a premiership flag unfurling would be very pleasant indeed.

    The only reason I can see for not playing a GF replay in round one at the winner's home ground is that its a bit harsh to make the losers of the previous season's GF be there when the winners unfurl the flag (we've already had to watch your lot get their medals after all).

    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.

    Perhaps... but at the same time, they've done it the last three or four years (and wasn't it sweet seeing the looks on those Dons and Pies faces ) and I can't for the life of me see why not this time. It would be a guaranteed 70,000 crowd out at Homebush.

    Disappointing.

    At least you'll be getting a match before Round 10 down there mate. So I wouldn't be complaining too much there Charlie.

    Would be better to have it at the MCG I reckon. Would draw 60000+. With an INVASION of rossobianchi coming south of the border (including new Swans convert Norris Lurker LOL)

    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
    Premiers 09,18,33,05

    Oh, playing early in Melbourne suits me fine. I don't see the need for round one though.

    I presume that I'm not being criticised for 'complaining' about Melbourne getting a game, though? That would be one for the books...

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

    The most important thing of all is for the Premiership flag to be flying over the S.C.G. The club has built its Sydney history there, so thats where it must fly. Olympic stadium is good but it has'nt seen enough blood to justify the raising of the flag there.

    For me, Round 1 - Sydney v anyone.

    As long as its at the S.C.G

    That's what I want to know. The prediction was in another paper yesterday, so if more than 1 paper have the same guess, it must be right? No?

    The Age even had odds for the flag next year. I couldn't believe what I was reading. St Kilda to win, with Sydney and WCE equal 2nd. How the hell can you jot down odds for a season that hasn't even started yet? It could all be irrelevant next year. St Kilda may be the bottom of the ladder!
