Great story, really hope the club pick this one up, particularly as Canadians are in our blood!
Hey guys!
Thanks for all the kind words in this thread. It has made me feel really good.
The Swans have contacted me and I will be talking to them on Sunday.
My wife and I have arrived - it was a long trip but we are so happy we are here.
PS I would love to meet Mike Pyke LOL
Oh - and so you guys know. I am in Australia for three weeks and will be attending the GWS game and the game vs. the Bulldogs at Eithad Stadium so plenty of opportunities to say hello
This whole thing is pretty cool.
Welcome to Australia DC Enjoy your time at the SCG and Etihad
Add my voice to the welcome and to the appreciation of the story. Enjoy the game on Sunday�I'll wave from the O'Reilly Stand on the opposite side of the field. Swans by 23.
Welcome to warm, sunny Sydney from a much cooler, less sunny Madrid! Pleased you have made it, now to get over jet lag ready for the big match. Sad I will miss it, the first for the year at SCG is always so exciting.
Go Swans!
Maybe email Neil Cordy at News and contact Chris Bath on Twitter she�s a Swans ambassador
Thanks Ludwig, I went to Toledo on Tues (so did zillions of other tourists!) and yes the cathedral and El Greco are amazing. As are the Prado, the Thyssen-Bornemisza, the Reina Sofia, the Caixa Forum, the Royal Palace .......! The art here is extraordinary. Still thinking about the Hieronymus Bosch �The Garden of Earthly Delights�.
Not the game result we wanted but had a great time at the SCG today! it was so great to finally see a game in person.
But the Swans themselves made it extra special for us today. A member of their marketing department brought Alex Johnson with him and presented me with a Swans jumper signed by the entire club. It is an incredible gesture that I feel emotional thinking about as I type this.
Also let me say that Alex is a super nice guy who took time to speak to both my wife and I. A super class act!!
Between that and starting the day watching the sun rise over Sydney Harbour, this is truly a day that I will never forget!
Bring on GWS next weekend!
