    I agree with this sentiment 100%. Commemorating the legend of one A Goodes would be kind of soulless and inappropriate at any venue other than the SCG.

    I've been thinking that the first game of every season that is played at the SCG should become the Goodesy celebration round where a reenactment of last year's Adelaide game would take place in honour of the great man and to show the world how much Goodesy meant to / means to us. How uplifting would it be to witness that sea of 37 t-shirts at the start of each new year? It's a tradition waiting to be embedded.

    I'm disappointed that we are playing at Homebush at all next year. I thought the dark days of Homebush were behind us. I must have misread something. Further, to have to play Collingwood there in round one is less than appetising.
    It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

    2016 is the last year we play at ANZ. From 2017 we have a 30 year deal with the SCG for all home games, including finals

    First game at the SCG should be Goodesy's farewell and it'll be emotional, can see the 37 t-shirts and messages of support getting a good re-run but after that I reckon we should just let him get on with the next chapter of his life, and I say that as someone who definitely holds him in the highest respect

    Reckon there is an outside chance that with any stadium management centralisation that we could see this brought forward.

    Rumour has it that the big picture is for the ANZ Management right sto be bought out by the state government and for a "Super Trust" to be created. Once the two new stadiums are built (Parramatta and Moore Park) then ANZ will be bulldozed for rediential development which will fund a huge % of the new stadiums.

    No.
    I want to win against the hawks this time.
    We always lose when you watch it live.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    No, it won't be brought forward.
    I recall the swans had meetings with the Stadium Australia people last year to try and get an early release, but to no avail.
    We're stuck there until the end of 2016. (Well, I'M not stuck... I don't mind it, it's close to home.)

    Nice to be close to home BUT the payoff will probably be an early road trip to WA perhaps?

    Why wouldn't they have fixtured GWS @ Blacktown & Port @ Drummoyne?? Doesn't make sense.
