    Sadly I cant attend the game anyway - I have to attend a wedding!!!! I questioned the bride and asked whether she was sure of her dates - the look I received in return wasnt a good one!!! so I will be texted the scores during the course of the evening.
    I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

    Obviously she didn't ask when the season started! I mean she could have moved her wedding to the following weekend! Some people......

    Perhaps the bride made her plans (like myself) assuming the season would start when it was supposed to start, before some genius at AFL HQ decided to stuff us around by making our game a stand alone thereby leaving some dedicated fans unable to attend!
    I haven't missed a game the Swans have played in NSW for ten years till this - still mightily peed off!!!!!

    Well I thought that it was going to be the following weekend - sadly no - oh well it should be nice, so am off to Peters of Kensington again to buy a present (this is the child of friends of mine - I have never done registry before and I know that they have a taste for the finer things!!!) my 57th wedding, still not my own.

    As for expressing concern over how many GWS members there are compared to us, that is just bizarre. You're one of the reasons for it.
    Consistency for whom?

    No concern, just a fact. Nothing bizarre at all. Swans have been here since 1992 and have just under 20,000 and GWS have yet to play a game and have 5,000. It should be a concern for the Swans.

    I'm glad to have memberships to both Clubs. Will continue to do so and don't care what anyone else thinks.

    I love watching Aussie Rules and 19 games in Sydney is perfect. Well 22 would be better.

    Perhaps a mail (male) order husband who has enough brains to open a bottle of wine. There is internet dating and you can play "stalker lotto". That fills in a bit of time between games. Do you remember when I told you about my first internet date? The 10 year old photo's

    It's said that marriage is an institution................do you really want to get institutionalised?

    I'll give you some Brewongle tips on saving money by not dating. Gives you plenty of money to get Fox Footy Channel.

    No Prims, I will be on a cruise that was meticulously planned to fit in with the football season, or so I thought!

    I just damn well hope they televise it on the boat.

    The girl who has the wedding probably doesn't follow footy if she followed it she would know you never have a wedding in the footy season. Always in the Cricket season as that is easier to catch up on.

    Good on you Bas!!

    I am the proudest Swannies fan around! Only missed 5 home games since they have been in Sydney.

    BUT I also love AFL! So this year, on top of my Sydney Swans membership I bought an AFL membership with GWS support. It means I get into their games in Sydney as well as any combination of 40 home and away games when I am in Melbourne to follow the Swannies.

    No shame in holding duel memberships...I see it as 1 supporting the Swans and the other as supporting AFL!!

    Go Swannies!
    Swannies for life!

    Now that's an excellent way to describe it!
