    NAB Cup Round 3 - Swans v Essendon

    Friday, 6.10pm at Etihad.

    Should be a good contest, assuming both teams turn up. The last three home and away games the Dons have been crackers.

    The Dons must surely be pumped. Plus they're well-rested.

    Goodes will be back for the Swans, Hannebery and Reid are possibilities.

    Ah, love a good contest against the bummers.

    Seriously though, I doubt either team will push too hard. Bummers are bottom of the ladder, so nothing to play for there other than testing and the Swans, while touted to be in contention for a final's berth, will rely on too many other results going their way to have a chance.

    Stranger things have happened though. Is it still a million for a win?

    Ladder if you're interested. http://www.afl.com.au/nabcup/tabid/74/default.aspx
    Captain, I am detecting large quantities of win in this sector

    If its anything like the game last year between these two teams (which I highly doubt) then it will be a great match, but who cares about the result, just dont get any injuries!

    You lucky bugger Satch - Paris in the Spring, is there romance in the air? Don't miss a night at the Lido or the Musee D'Orsay. And keep your money in your pocket for season proper, forget Melbourne come up to Sydney for a home match at the SCG.

    Who would have thought a couple of old Royboys would share an interest in the Musee d'Orsay, one of the great world attractions.

    No need to rush back, you can get your Swannies fix in Paris. Here are my top 6 suggestions for Swans sight-seeing in Paris:

    Climb the Eiffel Ted
    View the Mona Luke-a
    Relax at a cafe on the Left Bolton
    Shopping on the Champs de O-Keef-ay
    Spot the reclusive Hunchback of Mumford-Dame
    A night at the famed Moulin Reg

    Thanks for the tips ...have decided to watch it on Fox at the Forth pub. Had better dress suitably as a friend of mine went there for a drink with his mate and everyone left as he walked in.They thought he was an undercover cop.!!!!! It's a classy joint but who cares it has got Fox.
