    It's probably the decision of the SCG Trust? Meanwhile the schedule for Saturday reads:

    2.45pm Gates Open
    4.40pm Game Starts

    They can elevate a rookie to the main list during the season as they have done with Cunningham but technically he is still a rookie and not a listed player.

    I am pretty certain that in the context of the NEAFL, "listed player" includes rookie listed players too.

    So there is a limit of 12 "official" Swans plus 10 toppies (which can include the ever-present Potter, as he is not officially on the Swans list). Could mean that a couple of players have played their last game for the club.




    Thanks to you both for clarifying - you are right in saying that the Ressies will be diminished by this "listed player" condition. Might give Ainslie a sniff.

    That's an understatement ... it won Ainslie the flag the last 2 years! ... and just to help them this week, we give up the home ground advantage

    One of the more ridiculous decisions of the year - why the Ressies would play in GWS' home territory a few hours before our game at the SCG is beyond me. I thought they'd earned a home ground advantage? It's a game that I'd like to see but I won't be able to thanks to that smart move!

    ... and the genius administrators can wave goodbye to yet another potential NEAFL fan ... Kudos!

    My first thoughts were "if it has to be at Blacktown why not on Sunday?". Really just a stupid move, they'll have a handful of people there at best whereas the guys could have had a chance to play to a decent early crowd at the SCG or probably a few extra on the Sunday with all the buzz generated by the Hawks game.

    I would imagine that the didn't have it as curtain raiser because there is no seating left for potential fans from Canberra anyway, so why not shoot them off to a more indifferent location when the Swans fans can't watch either.

    I am sending a "please explain" to Swans anyway.

    The schedule was done before the ladder was finalized. I imagined it's because they want to give the higher ranked team a 7 day break before the final the following weekend

    Which then would be all the more reason to have it as a curtain raiser (that would be my first preference). Was LSO not an option I wonder?
