    As a "home" game, I would be very surprised if they were to play it at Etihad, with the unveiling of the flag, there would not be the capacity for even the Pies members to get in there.

    2 reasons. If they can't all get in, none of us will. Remember the first hiome game in 2006. How would you have felt if you weren't able to get into the game and see the flag unfurled?

    Yeah, I was fairly sure it was T I C. But even I have a heart for them when it is to see your teams flag unfurled. It was a sporting spectating highlight of my life.

    I did post on here some months back about the feedback we received when I attended the Swans members forum night. I tried looking for it but couldn't find the thread.

    The Swans have requested a friday night game for next year. Saturday afternoon games. I'll try to have another look for it. I can't remember what I called it.

    Post edit: Found thread. Three Saturday afternoon games again next season and requested friday night game. ANZ contract locked in and can't be changed.

    Tips me lid if you're proven right though Matt.
    I thought the same thing mate when I heard it....my mate has been right before...and been wrong too .... so we wait and see!

    Really?? That farce when they unfurled the 2005 premiership flag at the SCG was a great moment??? When the piece of 25mm poly pipe nearly broke in half?? Thought it was a bit embarrassing TBH.

    No Friday nights has always been purely and simply a TV issue. Whoever has had the rights doesn't want to go head to head in Sydney with the NRL.

    The NRL had a few split rounds when they only had 1 match on Friday night. The AFL may elect to schedule a Friday night game when that scenario exists, even replaying on delay at 9:30pm into Syd/Bris.
