2009 NAB Cup Fixture

[Chilcott]

My 9 year old son was aged 2 when Sydney last won a Pre Season competition game, way way back in 2002. He consequently has no memory of the Swans ever winning a Pre Season competition game.

Please Roosy, can we just win ONE game next year. Please!!

G'day Top40. I was 9 when South won the preseason GF in 1981 (or 1980). Still remember Barry Round holding up the cup out at Waverley. Was one of lifes football highlights for me until 2005.

Hope for your sons sake we do win a few pre-seasons game.

I was there too, it was 1982, and it was a night comp, not a pre-season comp. That was when all home and away games were played during the day. Always remember it with fondness, I couldn't talk for a couple of days I was so hoarse!!!

Once again I don't get the thinking of the AFL. This year more than ever, they want new people to get into watching AFL. There's a freebie game on and instead of scheduling it in Sydney and making a big deal to get people along - they put it in Canberra. I don't get it!

So where do they play it in Sydney with the SCG unavailable, ANZ Stadium WAY too big with hardly anyone going to attend and North Sydney Oval to small to play a AFL match on with 18 players per side. Canberra is the logical option for the game if it has to be played in NSW/ACT.

Monarch Oval. They played a game out here against Brisbane about 10 years ago and got a good crowd, plenty of room for parking also, and easy to get too either on the m5 or m7. Saw one of the funniest things ive seen on a footy field when one Dale Lewis played in a Surf hat with Zinc all over his face

That was hilarious.
Monarch Oval is a great venue for a practice match.
You can drive your car in and park behind the goal posts and blow your horn every time a goal is scored!!
