2008 Fixture is released

[Old Royboy]

Hmmm.. Mixed bag for me.

Our first financial burden is due in late April and I can almost guarantee we will not fly down to Avalon on the 19th of April.

Is that when you are due to buy your next camera Des??

Hope the R&W beanie beats the B&W one.

I agree. Sunday afternoons watching the Swannies at the SCG in the sun with a beer in my hand is my absoloute favourite thing in the world!

Pfftt more like chardonnay since your from Sydney.

What is a 'nuff nuff' anyway?

Ask Cow he knows.

what are the issues with taking young kids to a sat night game? Are you coming from outside of Sydney? Or just the late nights? Just wondering.


Does anyone know if Canberra residents get Swans games on live FTA as well?

I'm pretty sure they do. I'm sure I've watched the Swans on FTA at my wifes aunties place.

Good draw for us.Only 1 of the last 6 games is away (I'm counting Canberra as our 2nd home).

Agree there Barry as long as we win.

Down to 4 day games now in Sydney. It's probably the end of a membership or two from me, it's simply not worth it for just 4 games.

C'mon floppinab you dont just pay the money to see the games,you pay the bucks to support the club too.

Yep, I don't know whether I will bother with renewing my membership next season. I'm not paying $150.00 to see 5 games (I've been to Geelong before, have no desire to go there again).

Dear Moderators,

If GS 14 does not renew his membership for next season can you please remove him from the moderator group.As i dont think he has any right of reply regarding Swans issues if he is not a member.

I guess that proves she's not really a Sydney girl then You can take the girl out of Newy but you can't take the Newy out of the girl

One positive note is the number of afternoon away games. Last season in total (home and away) we played in the afternoon 10 times and lost just once, against Geelong at the Catery. Next season,7 of our 11 away games will be played in the afternoon.

One thing for sure is the team is going to have to be up and running for round one with those first 5/6 games. No more letting the old farts cruise into the season as in the past. Every year it going to get more competitive and we cannot afford to be trying to come from say 10th at the half way mark.

Got to have all grunt we can muster from the starting gun.

I suspect with a new fitness coach there might be a change of mindset this preseason. I want to see the old buggers earn their spot right away rather than get concessions for age and loaf in a pocket for the first few rounds.

I brought my now 6 yr old down to most Sat night games this year. We come down from the Central Coast and he slept all the way home in the car after each game.

I prefer Sat night games to Sunday because it frees up the day.

I'd have to say some Melbourne based members are hard, or impossible, to please about a draw.

Six games in Melbourne is par for the course and of those 6 games you get to see the top 5 ranked Melb based teams from last year + the likely biggest improver, Carlton.

I reckon you'll get to see some cracking games in Melbourne next year, you should be happy. I just don't understand the angst.

It is just a really late night. We live near the city and night games so don't have to travel too far, but either ground is late to have a young kid at and it takes them a couple of days to catch up on their sleep. We've always found it to be a problem, you need to be mindful that regardless of how far away they live from the ground the game is finishing 2-3 hours after most little kids bed time (or more). Junior footy has also moved a while ago from Saturday to Sunday morning (I believe to get the private school kids), this year my son was playing Auskick and loved both it and the Swans dearly but he was half asleep on any Sunday that was following a Swans game the night before.
