Round 6 - Brisbane

Hey MSB.

I used to go to pretty much all of the away games of the year except for the games that were in perth and I have never been to Adelaide to watch the Swans play

My goal next year is to go to all the away games that the Swans will play but it is generally difficult because of bowling on a Sunday night

If I give up sunday night bowling then I will be able to go to the away games and come back later on a Sunday

Was going up to Brissy for the game and staying at Jupiters Casino. But then plans got changed. So im going to Melbourne with my parents and a friend for the round 7 match against Richmond.
Would of like to be there for the Brissy game, but its all good.

Hi Guys,

OK the weather for the game this weekend is typical Brisbane weather for this time of the year.

Will be clear and sunny and sunday should get to 25 degrees. saturday should get to 27 and saturday night should get down to about 14 degrees.

the lions only got 30,000 to the game against Richmond at the Gabba, so tickets arent going to be a problem.

I just phoned the Pineapple and they are open at 10am. YAY! Their restaurant is booked prior to the game but there are openings for after the match. I would book if you are keen on eating at a certain to get flights, etc. give them a call on 07 3393 1111.

and as for those of you picking on XXXX and our laid back lifestyle, up yours! you'll be sleeping out on the porch with the cat this weekend JF!

cheers
John in Brisbane

ps-the lions fans at work are gearing up for a thrashing. they're not looking forward to sunday at all.

I don't think that the Lions are going to get thrashed and I would not be surprised if an upset is on the cards

The Lions are a proud club and they will come out swinging this Sunday.I hope the Swans are on their game and give it to Brisbane

Do u think that Crouch will get the job on Akermanis ?

They hate each other

**wheels27** · 3rd May 2006, 11:27 AM

I for one hope so, that match up is one of the highlights of our Lions games, he is one of very few who could manage to get Aka's eye off the ball.

Agree that Brisbane will be no easybeats.

They may have heaps of good players out like Keating and Lappin but they still have Voss and Akermanis and Brown and Black and Power

That is still a good side plus a lot of good youngsters who have nothing to lose and plenty to prove to the rest of the AFL

I am disappointed that the Lions are at the bottom of the ladder

They should be higher than that but they have had a rough start to the season

We will know in about 5 weeks time who is going places and who is falling away

The Pies are a dangerous team and without many injuries are looking good this year

Well i must say i didnt think that the swans had any sydney based supporters so keen & loyal.......great to see.

I have been to heaps of games both in melbourne and also brisbane in the last few years but financially this year I have not been to many Swans games

I have only been to one game this year so far and that was against Geelong

I will be going to the bulldogs game in a few weeks time

I remember going to the game up in brisbane 2 years ago and jason ball missed the shot at goal from virtually in front which would have won them the game

Instead they lost by a point

I have been to Melbourne heaps of times to watch the Swans play
