    Rumours of one last loss to the Pies at ANZ in Rd 1:
    One more year for ANZ Stadium deal
    "You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."

    I was hoping we didn't have to play the Pies at ANZ anymore!

    Confirmed that we're playing Collingwood at ANZ on Saturday night in Round 1.

    Great start to the season having a big game in Sydney, should get a massive crowd with all the Pies fans travelling up.

    I assume it also means that we will get to play Collingwood at the MCG later in the season...another massive game!

    We played Essendon Rd 1 this year at ANZ but didn't play them again. I hope we do get to play them twice though...

    I'm hoping we get a chance to say a very raucous 'thank you and goodbye' to Adam Goodes (and Mike Pyke) in Round 1 but I'm disappointed it won't be at the SCG.

    When do we ever get to play round 1 at the SCG? I believe it is because the ground is never made available due to the potential for cricket to need the ground too soon before the start of the AFL season.

    Ok let me put it another way - I'm hoping we get to celebrate Adam at the SCG (which we identify as his home ground). So perhaps the Swans should wait till our first home match at the SCG rather than do it in Round 1.

    Barry will be happy.
