    Ahem, I have been there several times. I repeat, no fun to visit.

    yep, the train only takes an hour and on the weekend the car doesn't take much longer....unless a truck has broken down on the Westgate Bridge.

    I can understand seating capacity being made as an excuse for not going, but certainly not travelling time.
    . You are assuming of course that we start in Melbourne. We start 1? hours before that!

    On a positive note we get more games on FTA for us non Foxtel Melbourne people.
    We get 8 games on FTA, although 2 of them are Melbourne games.

    A couple more than last year. A sign of the rising Swans audience.

    Kardinia Park! It is not even an oval. More like the dimensions of a standard racecourse. 2 bends and 2 straights.

    Went to Kardinia Park once, in 1999.
    Was the only Swans' supporter in the middle of 5000 rabid Cats in the old Reg Hickey Stand.
    We won by seven goals in both grades (yes that long ago!), Plugger kicked seven in the seniors and Brett O'Farrell (remember him?) kicked seven in the ressies.
    I made more noise than those 5000 combined, their numbers slowly dwindled as they left with nasty looks (Dad - a North man - sunk lower in his seat at each one!) and I smiled, stretched out, put my feet on the seats in front and made even more noise!
    Good memories!

    Sorry Swans membership Dept.
    Yep, this is why my membership lapsed years ago.
    Value for money wasn't even in the ball park.
    I felt (and still do feel) that they are somewhat taking advantage of the Vic legacy and passion.
    I still have the passion, just not the membership

    And I am a happy camper because the Telstra guy said there will be AFL subscriptions available again for Telstra mobile customers.
    Every game live for $50.
    More FTA is great, because it's nice to watch the game on a big screen, but the other 14 games I will be able to access on my phone.
    Best thing ever

    Never been to Geelong, and probably won't this year.
    No GF for me next year.
    Other plans are already in place.

    So still 4 games.
    And you questioned me for being overseas for the Pelim this year?
    BTW, my premonition came entirely true

    But your trip was for work. Mine is for pleasure.

    We had a couple of family holidays this year - one to Canberra and one to Tassie.
    All my overseas travel over the last few years has all been business related though.
    In 2 1/2 years we'll have 2 x 18 year olds and a 19 year old here to look after the younger kids.
    So then I'll be able to travel on a whim more. Can't wait...
