Great news for Melbourne based fans

...unless you were planning a big night on the piss on Sat...

The Sydney vs Brisbane game will be televised live at 8pm (if memory serves)

Sydney people may not realise, but it has been a while since we've seen ourSwannies play round 1, and even round 2

Since it is generally 2 interstate sides playing (remember the Swans are an interstate side as far as Melb is concerned) it is generally not televised.

Hopefully Sydney and Freo will both have big wins and the following week that game will be shown too

And the same in Sydney, good news all round. I had my doubts thinking an 8pm start means about an hour or half hour delay but the game is listed for an 8.10 pm start, which seems pretty late???

Yeah. 7.10pm local time in QLD. We go back an hour later that night. They don't have daylight saving

According to the Swans website it starts at 6.10pm Q Local Time.

Is this incorrect now?

Geez, just had a look around and found 3 different times, I guess it's safe to assume the game starts as per above and will be live on 10.

My ticketmaster booking says the game begins at the Gabba at 7.10 - I presume that's local time or 8.10 Sydney time.

That will be a definite. It is the first Channel 9 match of the Sunday.
