Well, it's the dawn of a new era on Saturday night, when we take on the Giants for the first time at Homebush.

I don't think the result is much in doubt. We should win this game by at least 10 goals.

What will be interesting is the crowd - how many turn up, and who they'll barrack for.

According to their website, the Giants have about 7,500 members so far (and will probably crack the 8,000 mark by Saturday). We've got about 24,000 (although I think that includes Victoria), so technically, we should outnumber them easily.

However, this game is at Homebush, and it's not part of our membership, so it remains to be seen how many Swans members in Sydney actually attend. You'd think that most of our Sydney membership would need to go to get anywhere near a crowd of 50,000 that Sheedy is predicting.

But whatever the numbers, I wouldn't be surprised if the crowd is with the Giants on the night.

Swans by 70.
