I'd actually prefer a stand alone game with them in the middle of the season, sort of like what we had with Collingwood in the split round. As a season opener it might be a bit of a flop and they want to schedule it a little too early for my liking.

Great.
We get to rip them a new one early in the piece.
Better that we do it first!!
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
Might mean we get to play them twice in the season as well
It will be interesting go see how many of their 10,000 foundation members actually show up when there's premiership points on the line. And interesting to see how many of our members actually care enough to bother attending.
Early season byes are a joke, really stuffed around with Adelaide this year early. I don't mind opening the season, but not as a standalone game. Just give us the Thursday night and be done with it.
Not fair. After the Swans' 2011 Premiership there's so little time to get fit (or sober up) before the GWS game.
If Mummy does a Jason Ball he may not sober up till around R4.
That's an absolute given, no matter when we first play them we will play them twice, just as the WA, SA & QLD teams do (and the big Melbourne rivalries)Originally Posted by Number 43
There'll be a few of us counted twice...

Is there any talk of the swans making a deal (like they did with the bulldogs or the roos) so that the members get entry into that game as well (if it's a westies home game)?
Jenny??? Heard any rumours??
We could end up on the top of the table with a very healthy percentage after Round 1!!

I think they should play Port or the Kangaroos first and see how many show up then.....
I could air my opinion again about the GWS Whatevers being a waste of time and money and a foolish idea which I think will do great damage to the AFL brand, but I won't....
Thx for sparing us, u are most kind....

Had the 2011 Members survey in my inbox today, and amongst the questions there was one along the lines of "Would you pay extra in your membership to attend the GWS home game"
Surely the AFL can't give up our traditional season opener vs St Kilda.
